To no surprise to anyone who has been here, this place is great. I came in wanted to hate it because of the hype but it absolutely lives up to it and I've been back at least 5+ times since. Everything is great but some of the highlights are the burger (with everything), the ribeye, truffle Mac and cheese, street corn, the coconut pie and all of the drinks. Convinced that they can't do anything wrong. Pricey but worth a splurge. Service is attentive and usually great. It always surprises me how small the place is which checks out with how difficult it is to get a table. You won't need to eat another meal for the next 24 hours after eating here...come hungry. Will be back. read more

I was hesitant to make this review---given how prestigious this restaurant is, but I am speaking only from my own experience! I have been wanting to go to 4 Charles for months, and when my sister came to visit, I figured we should try it together. We got in the walk-in line about 2.5 hours early and waited outside until they opened. We were able to dine in right at 4, and the restaurant was very cozy. It is small and dimly lit, and we were both so excited to try the burger and roast beed sandwich. We told the server our order, and the food came out soon after. They forgot our bacon addition to the burger, but we were able to get it on the side after---no big deal. The food overall was good, but when I took that first bite, I realized I may have overhyped the situation. It was a good burger, don't get me wrong. But at the end of the day, a burger is a burger. The bacon was delicious though! As for the sandwich, it was also good, but again, not necessarily outstanding. Considering the price, I realized we were mostly paying for the experience and presentation here. Now for the service, I felt like most of the attention was definitely tailored towards the parties who had a reservation or knew people there. As for my table and the other walk-in table, I noticed that we were approached to less often, and only for the standard water refill. The difference in treatment really highlights the elitist status of 4 Charles, but as someone who is not in that group, I felt less welcomed compared to others. We were in and out in less than 30 minutes. I am incredibly grateful I tried, but I am unsure if I would recommend. read more

4 Charles reputation lives up to the hype. I waited in line for 1.5 hours (they open at 4, start lining up at 2 pm) and we were the fourth party in line. No one else behind us got in, they started taking reservation seating only. The French dip is absolutely amazing, I loved the fries and the chocolate crème pie was also delicious. The only thing I did not like was the mashed potatoes, the flavor of the juices they poured on top were too overpowering. read more

Finally ended up getting a resy here - late night 10pm but place was packed. 4 Charles 100% lives up to the hype. Waiters are super attentive. The 2 double cheeseburgers with the egg and thick cut bacon are SO GOOD. Don't skip the side of fries that they come with. We also overindulged and got the bone marrow, shrimp scampi, rib eye steak, elote, and mashed potatoes. Got the chocolate pie for dessert. Martinis are 10/10. Wish i could go back here all the time. read more

Just getting in here is an experience itself. So we lined up on a Friday at 11:20. There were a good 15 people ahead of us. A lady comes out at 11:45 am to start taking names down for the waitlist. If you are first, you have a good chance for sitting for lunch. We end up being 7th on the waitlist for 4 people. You tell them the timeframe you are willing to come in/wait. So lucky - we ended up getting a table for 6 pm! Of course we ordered the burger and the prime rib sandwich. Those were given. (Btw, Our server was amazing. He was like the host of a private dinner party. ) The burger was great. They did some great surgery to get the egg drizzled all over the burger and split it amongst the table. The prime rib with the au jus was *chefs kiss*. That sandwich was the best thing I had in a long time. Brussel sprouts were crisp and fresh. Mushrooms were great. So were mashed potatoes, you can't go wrong with those sides. Fries were pretty thick, not the best I have had, but they were decent. We ordered a rib eye steak, it was a little over cooked for me. But it worked out since someone in our party needed it a little more cooked. The chocolate cream pie was next level. Coconut cake, I would never have guessed, but it was also amazing. This you can buy at venieros too. Also, a pleasant surprise is the strawberry ice cream. I can't believe how good it was. Come if you can! I will try to! read more

4 Charles Prime Rib -- Earned, But Not Easily To be honest, I didn't feel good about 4 Charles Prime Rib at first. Nine tables. Nine. That number alone feels almost insulting. Last Sunday, after doing our research, we showed up an hour early. It was cold, they opened at 11, and there were already about 15 people in line. We were given number nine on the waitlist. No guarantees. If no one canceled, we could be pushed into the next day--literally over 24 hours later. With only nine tables, being ninth basically means don't bother. Even showing up an hour early on a Sunday didn't matter. We waited eight hours that day. Nothing happened. No table, no miracle--just the realization that this place is brutally hard to get into. Our second attempt was Monday. Surely it would be calmer, we thought. We arrived at 2:40 PM and were surprised to see one person already waiting. That day, we barely caught a canceled 6:30 PM slot and waited another two and a half hours before finally sitting down. An exhausting wait. At that point, the question becomes unavoidable: Is anything really worth this? Everything here runs strictly on reservations, and getting one feels close to impossible. So yes, I was already annoyed. What could possibly be so special? I'd heard it's under the same management as Au Cheval--the knife-stuck-through-the-burger presentation and all. This was one stop on our year-end burger tour, and even going into 2026, we felt compelled to try it. Still, while waiting, I kept thinking: After all this, won't it just be the same? Then I noticed the price difference on the menu--$25 versus $39. Not a small gap. And it wasn't just pricing. The quality of the meat was clearly different. The menu said Wagyu burger. One bite was all it took. The flavor, texture, and overall quality were on a completely different level. There was no debate to be had. This was an exceptional burger. Without hesitation, I can say that out of our entire burger tour, this was the best burger we had. Since we'd waited so long, we also ordered the roasted prime rib, French dip, and bone marrow. The bone marrow was fine--nothing memorable--but the roasted prime rib was outstanding. The sharp, well-dressed waiters in three-piece suits, the cozy yet classic atmosphere--it all reinforces the feeling that you're having a truly special meal. With attentive and friendly staff, the dining experience itself was fantastic. Would I go again? I honestly don't dare to think about it. It was simply too hard to get in. read more

After countless years of trying to get a reservation, I finally got the chance to try 4 Charles Prime Rib and it absolutely lived up to the hype. It was 100% worth the wait. From the service to the food, everything was truly amazing. The salad, drinks, burgers, sides, and of course the King Cut Prime Rib were all outstanding. I'm honestly still drooling just thinking about everything I ate while writing this review! I will definitely be back assuming I can snag another reservation in the future. Highly recommended. read more

1 of the hardest reservations to get in NYC. This restaurant can easily be missed if you don't know what you're looking for. There is no bells and whistles out front to usher you in. That's part of the charm of 4 Charles. I enjoyed the experience from beginning to end They do have a host at the front who will greet and seat you. The restaurant interior is very cozy. Approximately 9 dining tables and no seats at the bar. Dimly lit with decorative lighting on the wall along with vintage photos Our server was Andrew. He was attentive and informative. Started with the 10 oz double wagyu cheeseburger ($38.99) added the egg (+$4.49) & the bacon ( +$8.99). For entree the 16 oz bone in filet mignon ($95.99) for sides the Elote style corn ($16.99) and the Golden fries ($13.99) and ended with the chocolate pie! & of course several espresso martinis and margaritas were flowing $$$ Lovely dinning. Definitely a splurge. 10/10 would recommend & return read more

The hardest restaurant to get into is 4 Charles in NYC and for good reasoning. The mystic and impossibility of getting a reservation makes one wonder if it is worth it, rest assured, the hype is very much real. My hubby has been eyeing reservations for this place for about 3 months and had no luck. We decided to wait in line on a Monday which we thought was our best bet at 2:15pm to see if we can be seated at opening which was 4pm. Luckily only 1 person in line so we were able to be seated right at opening for 90 minutes. I thought we would have a later time so I felt underdressed but inside is dark, intimate and gives off a rich speakeasy vibe. Honestly it looked like a max seating for 16-20 people which makes sense why reservations are hard to come by. Once we were seated we were enthusiastically greeted by our server. He gave us recommendations on drinks and food and he really did not miss. We started off with the French dip and the corn elote. The French dip was absolutely phenomenal and recommend by all means! The elote was flavorful and had my mouth watering. My hubby ordered the infamous cheeseburger and he validated it was the best burger he ever had. I ordered the cacio Pepe and the server fluffed an over easy egg on top which was fun but delicious. We also ordered a side of baked potatoes and had no idea it came with two. It was super filling but the cheese and chives were delectable. Overall, I was impressed with service and the food offerings. If I had the opportunity I definitely would be back, it's not a one and done kind of place, it's actually fantastic! read more

4 Charles Prime is one of those places you hear about and think, "Yeah, no chance we're getting in." Reservations drop two weeks out and disappear instantly, and walk-ins are basically a myth... but somehow we got lucky. And honestly, the team made us feel like we were meant to be there. Our captains, Brandon and Daniel, were incredible--genuine, attentive, and on point with every detail. And the door team, Revekka and Ian, deserve just as much credit; they set the tone the moment we walked in. For walk-in guests, the experience they created was unreal. The food? Absolutely lives up to the hype. The burger with the tableside egg service is something every person should try at least once. The French Dip was to die for, the shrimp scampi was phenomenal, and the button mushrooms were honestly one of the quiet stars of the meal. We finished with the coconut cake, which was the perfect ending--light, rich, and unforgettable. The ambiance makes it all even better: only eight tables, all candle-lit, intimate but not pretentious. Just a beautifully curated space with a team that clearly cares. Huge thank you to the entire staff--this was one of those rare dining experiences you remember. read more

5 stars for the burger and the burger alone. crab cake salad and dessert also good - but everything else we tried is mediocre at best. We arrived at 3:15 pm and only had to wait about 30 minutes before we got seated. The inside is really small so I understand why it's so hard to get a reservation, and the service overall is super fast - we were in and out within an hour. - Cheeserburger (100/5): star of the show and worth the hype. the best burger I have ever eaten hands down and I cannot stop dreaming about it. It's so juicy and tender, the bread is toasted perfectly, and the veggies cut through. The bacon is also perfection from someone who doesn't like bacon. I was almost hesitant to add it on but it was so soft, melt in your mouth and honestly tasted more like pork belly - Little gem salad with crab cake (5/5): the crab cake was delicious - moist with a crispy crust and great flavor. The salad was also delicious and perfectly refreshing - Prime rib (2.5/5): sorry but not for me, and also ridiculously expensive. Pretty much just eating rare steak and the edges are overly salty - Truffle mac and cheese (2/5): barely any taste of truffle and the cheese tastes super one dimensional, like box mac and cheese. the noodles were also not cooked any special way (not al dente) and tasted rather boring - Creamed spinach (1.5/5): spinach tasted extremely overcooked and salty. Did not really enjoy this - Chocolate cream pie (4/5): this was pretty good, I just wish the pie was a little less dense (it was so thick), But overall I enjoyed it since the flavor was light and paired well with the cream and oreo crust I would probably just come back and eat the burger and a salad :) read more

Arrived around 11:15 for a Friday lunch walk-in and was fourth in line. We managed to snag one of the outdoor booths when they opened at noon. Since it was our first visit, we went for the classics -- the burger, French dip, and lemon meringue pie. Each dish was perfectly executed, with beautiful presentation. We skipped the eggs and bacon on the burger, and it was still fantastic -- buttery bun, juicy patty, and full of flavor. The French dip was melt-in-your-mouth good. The bread stayed crisp despite the juicy meat, and the jus and horseradish were spot-on accompaniments. We also ordered fries -- salty, crispy, and addictive, though they didn't stay hot for long. Finally, the lemon meringue pie was the perfect finish. The curd was bright and tart, and the meringue was so fluffy and piled high. And since we were getting a little chilly, we ordered the mint tea, which was served in a beautiful teapot. All in all, worth the wait and looking forward to my next visit to try the prime rib and chocolate cream pie! read more

The space is intimate and inviting with only nine tables in total, including two leather booths (one seating four and the other about eight). We got lucky and were seated at the four person booth. The restaurant is dimly lit, giving it a cozy, speakeasy-like warmth, and the leather seats add to the overall sense of understated elegance. The rib eye steak (cooked medium) and burgers were so flavorful and tender. The absolute highlight of the night for me was the prime rib French dip one of the best I've ever had. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender with the au jus bringing out an incredible depth of flavor.The sides complemented the meal beautifully, especially the button mushrooms, which funny enough were my girlfriend's favorite dish that night. Service was top-notch. Brandon was attentive, personable, and knowledgeable. He offered excellent recommendations and might I add, he has the voice of a tenor, which somehow made the entire evening feel even more refined. To finish, the chocolate cream pie was the perfect ending to a flawless meal. Understandably, 4 Charles remains one of the hardest reservations to secure in the city and it's easy to see why. read more

{Overall: 4; Food: 4} Ambiance: 4.5; Service: 5 At 4 Charles Prime, the food is good and the service is great--but overall, the restaurant is overrated. I suspect much of its reputation comes from how hard it is to get a reservation; the space is tiny, which makes it feel very exclusive. You can find very similar dishes at Monkey Bar, which is slightly more accessible. A few days after dining there, the Caesar salad is the only thing I'm still thinking about. Food: - Prime Rib (Chicago Cut): Very good and tender. - *Smoked Salmon Caesar: One of the highlights. The lettuce was crisp, the dressing was excellent, and we couldn't get enough. - 10 oz Double Wagyu Cheeseburger: Good, nice and greasy, but not one of the most memorable burgers I've had. - Prime Rib French Dip: Just okay. It's the style where the prime rib is cooked through. The whipped horseradish was tasty but too mild, and the jus was overly oily. - Cacio e Pepe Carbonara Pasta: Okay--pasta was cooked well, but flavor didn't stand out. - Lemon Meringue Pie: Extremely sweet and tart at the same time, with a sky-high pile of whipped meringue. A fun dessert to end the meal. Ambiance: Really small, cute and intimate. The dining room feels lively, with everyone clearly happy to be there. Service: Top notch--thoughtful and attentive to the details They go out of their way to make sharing easy, like cutting your burger or pre-portioning your pasta. Coffee was served with the full French Press. read more

Intimate seating with a more relaxed vibe than Monkey Bar with very personable staff. We definitely ordered a lot of dishes to share, but standouts would have to be the Cheeseburger, Little Gem Salad, and the Sizzling Shrimp Scampi. The Cheeseburger was perfectly juicy and a little bit on the saltier end, in which the Little Gem Salad cut in perfectly with a fresh, citrus after taste. The Shrimp was perfectly seasoned and the buttery flavor was addicting. read more

Finally made it to the ever so elusive 4 Charles! I love the cozy vibe inside - there are only a few seats so you can tell why it's so hard to snag a res haha In terms of food, I genuinely enjoyed everything we ordered: - Little gem salad: honestly sooo good, a refreshing way to start the meal. Would recommend splurging to add the crab cake :) - Wagyu burger: a classic, but if you've had the Au Cheval burger, it's nothing new - Prime rib (4 Charles cut): delicious! It was massive so we took some home - Truffle mac n cheese: actually tasted like there was some truffle flavor so this was a win - Lemon meringue pie: truly a spectacle to behold but taste-wise, maybe a bit too much meringue We went for our anniversary so was also impressed by the service and the staff surprising us with some complimentary champagne and dessert read more

Brandon!!! You are just as wonderful as the food we had! Our visit was absolutely spectacular you made it special, fun, and unforgettable. From the moment we arrived at check-in to stepping into our Uber, everything was seamless and perfect. We were celebrating a big moment: two of our daughters graduating from college and our son finishing high school. It was a special occasion, and we wanted something memorable and 4 Charles, Brandon, and the entire staff truly delivered. We're big food lovers, so of course, we went all in. We started with oysters and caviar both fresh and elegant. Our martinis were incredible: I had the cucumber (so refreshing), one daughter had a lemon drop, and the other chose a specialty martini from the menu each one better than the last. For mains: Center-cut prime rib-outstanding Crab legs-succulent and flavorful Bone-in filet mignon (16 oz) perfection Two bone-in ribeyes rich and perfectly cooked We paired our entrées with mashed potatoes, mushrooms, street corn-to die for, and the truffle mac & cheese all made to perfection and beautifully served, with a perfect blend of humor and hospitality from your incredible team. And just when we thought it couldn't get any better our dessert arrived. The sundaes and the coconut meringue were an absolute treat. Sweet, satisfying, and the perfect ending to a perfect meal. This was a celebration that called for something above and beyond and that's exactly what we got. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

Great food and truly exceptional service. Thanks cannot highlight the quality of the wevice enough. Music was slightly loud for my taste, but set a nice vibe. My favorite dishes were the burger + fried egg + bacon; bone marrow; French dip ; and elote. The lamb choos were great too. Oddly enough, the prime rib was my least favorite entree. It was still good, but prime rib often fails to impress me. The coconut cake from Veniero's was quite good, and it paired perfectly with their seasonal mango Gelato. read more

Best meal I've ever had. Get the same order every time. Burger, gem salad, shrimp, French dip. That's your order. Cool classic ambiance

Tested our luck on a cold and rainy Tuesday and showed up at 3:25pm to see if they could accommodate a walk-in. We were ecstatic to find there was only one person waiting outside before us! At 3:45pm they started letting people in who had 4:00pm reservations as well as a few of the walk-ins. Everyone who works here is lovely, but Daniel is probably the best server I have ever encountered. He truly made the experience better than we could even have imagined. We tried the burger with a side of the bacon, mashed potatoes, truffle mac n cheese, prime rib, coconut cake, and chocolate cream pie. Go here, you won't regret it. read more

Ordered: Sizzling Shrimp Scampi (~$30): with garlic bread, chilies, and parsley 10oz Double Wagyu Cheeseburger ($39) + Farm Egg (~$5): griddled and pressed wagyu with American cheese, pickles, onion, and Marie Rose sauce Prime Rib French Dip (~$40): with Swiss cheese, natural jus, and horseradish cream Elote Style Corn (~$17): with chili, lime, cilantro, parmesan Golden Fries (complimentary): with ketchup and garlic aioli Lemon Meringue Pie (~$19) Aya's take: 4 Charles 4 my birthday! I must have pinched myself a million times already for being able to snag a walk-in reservation and try this highly coveted institution. We started with the Sizzling Shrimp Scampi which was definitely the best I've had. It's loaded with butter, chilies, garlic, and so much flavor. Paired with their golden toasted garlic bread, it's a delicious start. And of course, I wasn't going to leave without trying the Double Wagyu Cheeseburger with Farm Egg & the Prime Rib French Dip. Both were tremendous! The meat quality is undeniably good, the layers of flavor in the burger are so rich and decadent, and the prime rib jus and horseradish cream elevated every bite. The Elote Style Corn was cheesy, creamy, and tasty. Our waiter was nice enough to throw in some Golden Fries for us because in his words "it's a crime to have a burger without fries" and I agree! We ended off with the Lemon Meringue Pie which I usually would never get but I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the meringue! Although I feel so privileged to have finally enjoyed a meal here, I didn't feel like I experienced the true ambiance since we sat outside. I would love to come back, try their steaks and other menu options, and sit inside! read more

I can't convey enough how amazing it is having the opportunity to dine at 4 Charles. While it was challenging to secure a reservation, once you get there it's worth it and then some. A small intimate classic New York experience. The service is phenomenal, the staff is friendly and informative. They offer great guidance and recommendations throughout the dining experience. To start the sizzling shrimp scampi was delicious. We split the burger which is absolutely a must and the most delicious burger anywhere. The prime rib French dip is also excellent, a close second to the burger. We also tried the roast prime rib served traditionally and it is amazing. For sides the mac and cheese, spinach and French fries are delicious. The chocolate cake and sundae with all the toppings make dessert a must as well. All the cocktails/wine selection is top notch.

4 Charles Prime Rib - Amazing lemon meringue pie! - Steakhouses Near Me - New York, New York

4 Charles gave us one of those rare New York evenings that reminds you why this city is still the greatest in the world. We dined on the beautiful Patio on a beautiful evening, and from start to finish the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Ian at the door was a true gentleman -- gracious, polished, and genuinely kind in a way that immediately set the tone. Our waiter, Andrew, was outstanding: attentive, professional, and possessed of that effortless style that makes great service feel both refined and deeply personal. The meal was extraordinary. The prime rib was, without question, the finest I have ever had, and the martini was as classic and perfect as one hopes for in a restaurant of this caliber. Everything about the evening felt timeless, elegant, and distinctly New York. In a city that prides itself on excellence, 4 Charles delivered a night to remember. We left deeply grateful and very much looking forward to returning. read more

Fantastic meal!! Came for Sunday lunch as walk in, we arrived 9:30 and were first in line, second group didn't come until just after 10 then line quickly grew. Opened 11 and they only had 1 available table for the day so we got sat immediately and everyone else were listed for any cancellations. Swanky definitely describes the restaurant and staff were so nice and personable/charismatic while incredibly efficient. We split the burger and prime rib, right amount of food for two and truffle Mac, all so delicious. Best burger I've ever had - juicy, thick but not too much, egg and bacon complimented well, and buttery bun. Truffle Mac n cheese was gooey, pasta cooked slightly al dente (very nice). Prime rib had rich flavor with seasoning accompaniment and sauces. Ended with coconut cake that was just divine, great cool temp, perfect amounts of coconut, icing and cake. So excited to return and try more of the menu read more

Came here because it was talk of the town location. Very difficult to get a dinner rsvp so came for lunch which I recommend get there extra early as line can get long for walk ins and might not even be able to get a table. Food overall was good as well as the quality but didn't feel like it was worth the hype. Only thing I regret not getting was their burger people say is great. Service was good as expected and ambiance the indoor seating looked like a 80's speakeasy while the outdoor seating is just 1 table. Good place to try but don't think I'll be back. read more

So, this was a bucket list restaurant. My friend has gone numerous times for work and was able to get a reservation for a group of friends. We had the only 6 person table in this small restaurant. We started with a burger and French dip. Everyone got a piece. The burger was the best I have had. Perfect medium rare, thick bacon and beautiful egg. The egg was sliced and the yolk was spread on the bacon. OMG. The French dip was wonderful. Made with their prime rib and a fantastic horseradish sauce. I wanted to take the au jus to bathe in. The prime rib was a beautiful color and melted in your mouth. Mashed potatoes had carmelized garlic and pieces of what tasted like pancetta. The creamiest mashed potatoes I have ever had. Creamed spinach was put under the salamander to get a crust which added another layer of texture to the best creamed spinach I have ever had. Dessert was a chocolate pie and ice cream sundae. The chocolate was great. Creamy and full of flavor. The ice cream was good. I never order ice cream when out to dinner because I'm always underwhelmed. This was good.

Walked in twice before being able to get seated but it was worth the experience! The space inside is small but decorated well and I tried their famous burger and french dip.
