Food was excellent as was the service. It was our daughter's birthday and they live in Plainview so they picked this as we live in hauppauge and thought they would drive out closer to us. Had a lovely evening. I'm sure we will come back again. read more

Amazing experience! The service was attentive and friendly, our server was David he gave us great recommendations, was very knowledgeable about the menu and was extra careful with our allergies. the food was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Highly recommend! read more

Dinner and service were amazing. Beautiful place! Staff was so accommodating for Easter Sunday.

I'm pretty sure I had a Ratatouille moment while eating the food at The Chas. It made me question all my life's choices about what and where I eat. The majority of the dishes I tried were among the best tasting I have ever had, and everything else was really good. The drinks were all excellent. I had a few, and they tasted so good and were so smooth that I was surprised when I caught a buzz from them. Clearly, they packed a little punch (a rum punch)! The appetizers were very good to excellent. I'm not much of a sushi person, but the roll my table ordered was phenomenal. The lobster and crab cakes were the best thing I had all night--absolutely amazing. Everyone at the table agreed. We also had the burrata, kung pao calamari and shrimp, and the bao duck buns. It was all very good, and I would happily eat any of them again. For my main course, I had the short rib ravioli. I wanted to try this because it sounded really good (I love short ribs), but I was a bit hesitant since I'm not much of a mushroom person and this dish is mushroom-heavy. I dove right in, and my first bite was only mushrooms in the sauce. They were amazing, and that was when I questioned my existence. My life's goals need to change, and that change should involve trying more quality food like this. If there is an ingredient I'm not fond of that I could enjoy this much, that's very impressive. I took some home and had it the next day, and was once again blown away by the quality. It was amazing the second time around. After that, I ordered the apple crisp dessert, which was incredible. I was super stuffed at this point, but I managed to eat it all. This was an amazing meal that I will not soon forget. As for the restaurant's appearance, it was modern and looked great. I was very impressed all around! read more

Our 2nd time at The Chas but unfortunately we were disappointed with dinner service tonight. We had the asparagus soup which was a special and the soup was very liquidity and salt. The Calamari and Shrimp was very tasty (not many shrimps) Caesar Salad was tasty but a small portion. For dinner, the best dinners was the Sirloin Steak, Tuna and Burger. The PorterHouse for two came out raw and not seasoned We sent it back to come back still not cooked properly it was a total turnoff. the side dishes were very bland. For dessert, we had the cookies and milk were a hit. The Nutella cake was ok wouldn't order it again. The service and waiter were amazing. read more

Company 10/10. Ambiance/decor 10/10. Service 6/10. Food 6/10. Drinks 10/10. Dessert menu 5/10. I've eaten here twice and loved the vibe but the food is pricey and not commensurate with the price point. Loved my drinks but the food left something to be desired. There was no real standout dish. They are still working out service issues. Appetizers arriving at the same time as mains. 3/4 mains arriving without the waiter noticing. I miss Houston's! read more

Here's a polished review version: Chas is visually appealing, and there were definitely some highlights to the meal, but overall the experience did not match the price point. When we were seated, no wait staff came to greet us for over ten minutes, and when someone finally did, we still were not brought a menu. The bread service was also odd. We were given an entire loaf of bread, but only enough butter for about two pieces. That said, both the bread and butter were delicious. The appetizers were another strong point. We ordered the pigs in a blanket, BLT salad, and sides of bacon, and all of them were excellent. Unfortunately, the service continued to fall short. The busser service was terrible. At one point, I had to stack all of our plates myself and then get up to ask for a busser to clear the table. The main reason we came was to try the beef Wellington, which is $63 and comes with no sides. As someone who frequently dines in Hell's Kitchen, I found both the presentation and overall value really disappointing. For that price, the dish felt underwhelming and poorly presented. Chas has a beautiful atmosphere, but it lacks the refined service needed to justify its pricing. With restaurants like Insignia right down the block, it is hard to overlook the mismatch between the experience and the cost. read more

The bread is good..... Service was horribly spotty for the amount of service staff and managers running around. Big pet peeve for me is auctioning off stuff at our table ... everyone who came with a drink didn't know where it went and was auctioned off. Working in the industry food and drinks get assigned to a seat number, there is no need for this. Chicken paillard was the equivalent of a dried saltine cracker with undressed frisée lettuce ... dry dry dry. The pork chop was like a hockey puck. Beef Wellington and branzino were okay, not worth a repeat. Coconut cake was premade and not impressive. They really need to refine their dishes and fix them because at this price point, it was dead for a Saturday night. Oh yeah, the bread was good .... read more

A group of us went for dinner at the Chas. for their grand opening, and it was a wonderful experience. Upon entering, the decor is beautiful. It's modern, yet vintage and gives an almost Speakeasy feel. We were seated and ordered drinks. The drink menu is diverse with a blend of unique and classic titles. I opted for a mocktail, as I was the driver, and ordered the Junior Member. It was so delicious! It wasn't overly sweet and was filled with fresh strawberries. I've seen people writing about this place leading up to their opening and describing it as a steakhouse, and while there is steak on the menu, I'd categorize it more as upscale American food. The menu is pretty diverse. We ordered some apps and a Sushi roll to share at the table. Everything was delicious. I would absolutely recommend the crab and lobster cake. It was phenomenal--both the cake and the corn salsa on the plate. The kung pow shrimp and calamari was a close 2nd. We also ordered the burrata and the duck bao buns. I didn't try the buns, but everyone at my table was happy with them. And you can't go wrong with burrata, although I wish it has a crustini or something to go with it along with the tomatoes. The sushi was fresh and delicious as well. We ordered the Hampton Roll. For my meal, I ordered the tuna with a side of creamed spinach. The tuna was delicious, and the sautéed cabbage and boc choy went really well with it. I loved the cream spinach. It was a great addition to my meal. I ordered the nutella cake for dessert. It was so good, and a great way to end the night. The staff was wonderful and attentive and it was a cool experience being one of the first to eat there. I know I'll be back to try more of their menu, and I wish them success as they navigate their opening stages. read more

Very excited to try The Chas tonight! They have valet parking and the valet staff was very welcoming walking into the restaurant. We were seated in a booth and the ambiance of the restaurant is modern, fresh and welcoming. The decor is gorgeous. We had appetizers, drinks, main course and dessert. Everything was delicious. Our waiter Joseph was very attentive and had great conversation. We will definitely be back again with friends and family. Congratulations on your grand opening and wishing you the best! read more

horrible. i came with my sister. 2 random drunk men outside were shouting curse words at us while the valets stood there and did nothing to manage the situation. they were making predatory and sexual jokes about my sister just because we took a few photos in the lobby. we were not disrupting anybody and let everyone pass. the chas has no class in keeping their customers safe, and it seems like they have no limit on drunkness, or a cut-off. do not come here! i will be making better business bureau complaint and gather video footage. shameful that the chas can't take care of the read more

While taking photos in the lobby, 2 seemingly drunk men outside of the restaurant proceeded to yell and curse at me and my younger brother. I do not know if they work in this restaurant. We paid hundreds and dressed elegantly just to allow this to happen ? My experience is ruined and the people here truly have no respect. I am so astounded that I paid hundreds of dollars to be here just for there to be 0 protection or consideration of guests safety, especially for a lady and her younger brother on the day of my birthday? There should be security, care and intervention for guests who bother a lady. I don't want to come here again if they don't care what happens to guests. This was my first time. Aside from that the environment is nice and the food is not bad. Management is attentive but the restaurant just needs security or something read more

Date night was great here! We went to the bar very early, hoping they could seat us early and waited at the bar. We didn't end up getting seated earlier, but the bar was a fun way to kill time. The drinks were fantastic and strong. The atmosphere was perfect. We had to try the chicken nugget and caviar while we were having cocktails. We loved the taste, but both agreed that a few smaller pieces even if we had to assemble it ourselves would have been better than having to cut a huge chicken cake. The chicken was also a little dry; just another reason smaller pieces would work better. The sushi was great. I would come here just for sushi and drinks. I liked the bluefin tuna entree but found the wasabi sauce all around the plate to be overpowering and probably should have been listed in the menu description. The pork chop was tasty but a little over cooked when we asked for it to be prepared medium. Since it was so late and it took a while to come out, we did not send it back. Overall, the drinks, apps, and sushi are worth returning for, but we will probably skip the entrees. read more

I recently dined at The Chas. This restaurant is a perfect addition to the Smithtown community. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has that NYC upscale feeling. For apps we had the crispy rice and the wagu pigs in a blanket. For drinks we had a dirty martini and the polo picnic spritz . For dinner we have the steak special and the Hampton roll. For dessert we had the rice pudding. Everything was delicious. Our waiter was attentive. read more

Visited the Chas other night, the 4 of us, came in exactly 5:03pm in 3 minutes the bar was completely full. Luckily the hostess so nice, had a table next to the bar available. Started with the lamb chops only 3 and tiny! We try them in all restaurants to compare but for $28.00 need at least 4 and should be a decent size (not lollipop lamb chops). Had the ribs, branzino and porterhouse. All the food was fresh and cooked well. Saw the manager coming around & told him about the portion size not only with the lamb but the porterhouse was also small for $156.00. Didn't have much to say. Being they are new, will give them another try in a few months to get the kinks out. Competing now with Paces & Insignia they will have to up the portion sizes on their meats. Would recommend them. read more

First time at The Chas. It was just ok. The space was very pretty. Noisy. Service was too slow and spotty. We sat with dirty dishes in front of us for quite a while. Food was mediocre. French onion soup was good, not great. The cheese needed to be more broiled. The baby back ribs were very good and tasty. The short rib ravioli was bland and overstuffed. Definitely needed more seasoning. Dessert was a bomb. The coconut cake was really bad. Not sure what it was but it didn't taste fresh and was artificial tasting. A mouthful of icing and little cake. I would come back and order something different but I think I'll wait a while. Plenty of other restaurants in the area in that price range with better food and service. read more

Super well done interior .. lovely staff and server we had was fantastic ... ordered 2 meals, one sea bass special which partner said was just good, not best ever, just good and I had the pork chop that was outstanding! Also got a coconut cake to go and that was sort of blah, to be honest. But the experience was excellent, again, very accommodating staff .... Only negative critique is .. the noise level is awful. When the place is almost full, we were yelling across the table to converse ... they really need to buffer the noise level some how. But I'd def go back ... just early to avoid noisy crowd read more

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. They spared no expenses, stunning. We had one of the best waiters ever, he was great. I wish I could remember his name. Now for the food. Sushi was excellent, we tried three rolls and all were amazing could recommend them enough, but some of the other things were not so good. So we got the wagyu pigs in a blanket for example, and for that price to bring out that small of a portion is not worth the price, I mean it was literally 2 mini dogs sliced up to make it look like it was a dozen, we thought it was going to be a much lager portion and with some flair but that wasn't the case at all. We also order the Duck buns and they were good but again nothing special at all. My wife ordered the ribs and the menu described them as "falling off the bone", which is the farthest thing from the truth, "you could bounce them off the floor" is what they should write. Tough, dry and just not good. My friend's wife ordered the pork chop and it was extremely dry, almost like it was sitting around and reheated, like the ribs. My friend and I had the steak sandwich and it was OK at best, we only ate half of it because it was very bland and tough. The cocktails were really good as we tried many different types. I'm sure with time their quality of food will improve but we we're definitely not enjoying all of there options. I understand it's fairly new but that excuse only last so long. read more

Great dining space and ambience. Service was friendly and professional. BLT salad was good. Great blue cheese. Bacon was fatties than expected. Mashed potatoes were not well seasoned. Truffled asparagus was great. They should have put some of the truffle sauce in the potatoes. We had the Porterhouse. It was not sufficiently seasoned. The cast iron server was not sizzling hot. There was insufficient juice in the skillet to drizzle over all the meat. Char on the meat was weak. Lots of silver skin on the meat. And the Porthouse for two was small and not terribly thick. Normally, my wife and I split and bring a little home and the bone. We finished it. It was not bad, but did not justify the price. Some of this could result from being new, but they do have other steak houses. In the end, we decided it would have been worth the ride just to go to Peter Lugars in Great Neck. read more

Ok so we tried it this evening had a 8:30 reservation we sat and the waiter very friendly but was clueless on the menu . Ok we ordered waited about 30 mins just for the apps to come out and I understand place is busy , we gave him are main course menu and waited another 40 mins they kept saying kitchen was busy ok that's fine again I understand place just opened but this is not there first rodeo they have other places that I have been to ribs came out very dry and the sushi didn't taste fresh . Would we try again it's possible but I think they need to review why it's taking so long for food to get to the tables ..... and for the price we are regulars at Insignia and Rare 650 so they have a lot to do with this new place !!! read more

Great experience! Attentive and knowledgable server, food was fantastic, especially the filet mignon. great ambience!! Top notch dinner!! will be back!! read more

Ok so was very excited to see what this beautiful Ralph Lauren polo club look alike place was all about well let's say just say good definitely not great and with these prices you better be great .....the service was fabulous our server Anthony was great and very personable the place itself beautiful no doubt they put a lot of coin into the place but first and foremost the food .....what was extremely evident was the lack of taste with everything we ate from the pork buns to the bigs in blanket to the corn beef sandwich to the beef Wellington which you never see but unfortunately all the food was wayyyyyyyy under seasoned the desserts where good but again not great we ordered a few to taste again just good .....I give my first experience 7/10 they have to get the chef to start seasoning the food much better and hotter !!!! I will definitely go back and give it another go but with paces and insignia right down the street they better up their game or this could be a short lived place read more
