Have had several yummy meals there over the years
Have had several yummy meals there over the years celebrating birthdays, special moments, holy communications of both my kids, and friends. Loved the atmosphere there! My dad loves visiting this place as an out of town guest, and he's very picky about restaurants since he's also a restaurant owner.
Be the first to ReplyReally not worth the money.
The mushroom appetizer was worth it, but the salmon that was ordered medium was served burned and the mashed potatoes were entirely plain. Margarita or Chargarita as they call it, was okay.The prices were ridiculously expensive for the quality.

We were so pleasantly surprised on how good our meals were and the service. Had our company party here and each person agreed that it was the best restaurant we have chosen in years. Even my "foodie" husband thought his pork chop was cooked perfectly. We had Elia as a server and he made the night. He is so knowledgeable, friendly and honest. I will definitely request Elia again although everyone there was very good.
Be the first to ReplyWent here on a whim after spending time at Dingman's Ferry.
Sometimes that's the most fun. It was later on a Saturday evening, after 9PM, but they took us right away. Our server, Merve, was great! She was on top of everything and had some great recommendations. We all had fillet mignon, "Oscar Style, and it was probably the best we've ever had. Oscar is bernaise sauce with chunks of crab meat! We all got medium rare. The steaks were cooked perfectly and were like butter! Sides of broccoli with oil & garlic, sautรฉd mushrooms, and shoestring potatoes rounded everything off nicely. I almost forgot the huge popovers they offer! Afterwards there was no room for dessert so I settled with an espresso with the bill! I've been to Capitol Grill and Ruth's Chris many, many times and Char is definitely equal if not a few notches above them! Highly recommended!

Be the first to ReplySorry to say that I will not be going back, The four of us
Sorry to say that I will not be going back, The four of us had a disappointing time. Due to the above all, the main and most important factor in any restaurant the FOOD.First the the restaurant itself is very nice and the service was pleasant, the cocktail I had was a special and delightful experience. The meals served to the women of the party stated that theirs were perfect. The failure was with the steaks to myself and my counter part, the Cowboy Steak highly recommended and highly anticipated, cooked to perfection but was the worst I had ever been served. Tough and grizzly it was most unpleasant, both of us were very disappointed and would have sent it back it had our waiter asked us how our meal was. Well that didn't happen. As a Steak house with the prices charged as they do, I expected to receive a meal worthy of my cash outlay with side dishes that everyone can enjoy, not just a tablespoon serving of each. This wasn't my first visit to Char but unfortunately is my last.
Be the first to ReplyOverall the food was bland.
We ordered the calamari which was ok, kinda over cooked but not too bad. We then ordered the Mac and cheese which was the worst Mac and cheese ever. I've had better from Costco. For our entrees we got the gnocchi dish. The sauce was sweet which was weird because it was a cream white sauce. Overall the dish couldn't be saved by adding salt and pepper, we tried. This was for a friend's birthday and it was so disappointing.

If this place only sold steaks then this would be a different review. Had the shrimp scampi and felt pretty I'll afterwards. The server was awkward but nice. I also had the brownie and French onion soup here (not sure what quote made me feel unwell). I've been here other times with no problem so I'm not sure what was going on. The ambience is fancy here and it's always pretty dark so bring a flashlight.

Loved the ambiance, the food was good, only negative was that we were not offered any steak sauce or salt and pepper. The service at the door was inviting. I will go back.
Be the first to ReplyPassed this place 100s of times & always wanted to try.
Today was the day. Rough start. Booked reservation for 3 on open table. Traffic lighter than usual & arrived 20 mins early. Despite plenty of vacant, unreserved tables we were caused to wait the 20 mins + 15 more before hostess beat the buzzer of my walkout. Service was very good & welcoming once seated. Managers & hostess could learn from them as they all appear pre-occupied with self-indulgent appearances than customer service. Food was good, but nothing over the top to reach the level of pricing. Lamp lollipops, bacon & escargot were good, as was the fillet & 2 Cowboy Rib Eyes. Well prepared and tasty, but far from "The Best in NJ" per the server's proclamation. Wine list was pedestrian, but adequate. Apple cobbler desert was star of the meal, but destroyed by the very weak & watery espresso. I'll never understand a restaurant's failure in the coffee department. A great coffee can SAVE an average meal or be the icing on the cake for a great meal. Conversely, a poor coffee or espresso can kill an otherwise great meal that preceded it. In closing it was a good meal no doubt, but not for the price. I expected better & have had better value elsewhere. Price is no object when all is great, but if you charge what you charge, you better live up to it and here Char fell well short. PS: When a party of 6 in their 40s/50s are at the bar yelling & being obnoxious like a bunch of rude, immature frat rats---you might want to ask them to quiet down or leave with their annoying disruptions to the entire dining room. Just a suggestion, since managements blind eye to their antics destroys the ambiance & atmosphere you work so hard to create and pretty much assures my return is highly unlikely.

Upscale but only in price, not in cuisine or quality or ambiance. Try Stonehouse in Warren, you will know what I am talking about. I was blown away with the Ambiance, the cuisine and the service at Stonehouse, will visit again. Got swayed by Google reviews but I guess those are bought !
Be the first to ReplyThis has been one of the most upscale and luxurious
This has been one of the most upscale and luxurious experiences that I have had the pleasure to share with my daughter on her 11th birthday. From the very beginning I was met with polite and professional hostess and called to confirm our reservation. When I was delayed due to rush hour traffic they were most accommodating in pushing the reservation again. Upon arrival, we were greeted with much grace and quickly seated in an intimate setting. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and shared the specials and any nuances that we should consider when placing our order. My family and friend truly enjoyed every moment and detail in this restaurant. ย Honestly, I think so highly of Chars Steakhouse that this review doesn't even it do it justice. Thus, if you're looking for fine dining along with superior service then look no further than Char's Steakhouse. I plan to visit again and can't wait to celebrate another milestone.
Be the first to ReplyOne of my favorite steakhouses in NJ.
Good variety of steaks and seafood dishes. Favs are the Aged NY strip steaks, Tomahawk, and the yummy Porterhouse Steak. Steaks are consistently cooked in your liking. If you are unhappy, they will make it right.Sides : Creamed Spinach, and Death By Potatoes are great side dishes. The bacon was okay. Can't forget about the warm starter bread to get your meal going. It's a bit pricey $30++ but for a celebration or a very nice date, its a pleasant dining experience. Reservations are strongly encouraged especially on the weekend as the restaurant can fill up quick.
Be the first to ReplyHad dinner for the first time tonight.
Ordered the standard steakhouse fare, ribeye, mac n cheese, loaded baked potato, sautรฉed spinach, etc. I would say it's a notch above mediocre. I'm certainly in no rush to eat there again and I would never recommend it but if I was with a group and someone suggested it I would go along.

Expecting wonderfu,l got mediocre at bestLets start with the good: great service and decent ambianceGreat : oyster shooters, broccoli side and bread pudding for dessert. the bread basket has great offerings, too bad it was only offered once and you got to pick out only one.Good: salads and sauteed spinachMediocre: lobster bisque taste good but no lobster meat in bowl and the "eggroll" might have had 1/4 ounce of meat in it.Poor: both potato dishes (mashed and scalloped seemed to be made of dried potatoe,s mashed were gluey and the scalloped we thin and toughHorrible: The STEAK, ย I ordered the aged as I thought it would be tender and flavorful. ย WRONG the only flavor of the steak was the seasoning, the meat was very chewy with big lumps of fat and very little marbling. ย Next time I feel like eating steak out it will not be here.
Be the first to ReplyDon't ever try to have a special event at this place, it
Don't ever try to have a special event at this place, it will be a disaster. Foolishly I tried to have a special romantic dinner here and made the reservation a week ahead of time. I left instructions requesting a semi-private table. Twice I asked for that. After being seated to our table late, even though we arrived early, they sat us in the busiest, noisiest section of the restaurant. The annoying teenage girls at the next table were there when we came in and we're still there almost 2 hours later. I know because their deafening cackles were enough to make you want to jump out the window. ย If you want average food in a very crowded, noisy restaurant (think Buffalo Wild Wings but with food not as good) then this place is right for you. If you want to have a conversations with others and enjoy your dinner, go as far away from this place as possible. An awful waste of money and we will never be going back.
Be the first to ReplyPleasantly impressed.
Tough with a good table but all of our bread, food and drinks were wonderful. Martinis were great, ribeyes extra fatty, fries wonderfully crispy.
Be the first to ReplyI have been wanting to go here for years and when my dad
I have been wanting to go here for years and when my dad wanted to have a good steak for his birthday at the last minute I was able to snag a last minute reservation at Char. I had such a fantastic experience from the moment I made the reservation to the moment we left the restaurant. Greg, our server was AMAZING! He was so friendly and attentive, particularly to my dad and extremely nice to my young daughters. He never rushed us, gave us excellent recommendations and our food was timed out perfectly. One thing that I particularly appreciated was how quickly our plates were removed and replaced once our food was done. We never had to wait for anything. Our food was so delicious - my dad had the special, a bone-in filet and he said it was the best steak he has ever had! Although, the the meal was a bit pricey, it was for a special occasion and we had such a wonderful experience; which is so nice bc it has been a very long time since I've had a fantastic dining experience. We'll definitely be back!
Be the first to ReplyWhen an average check is $100 or more per person there is
When an average check is $100 or more per person there is the anticipation that food, service and decor meet the bill. Unfortunately not so much here at Char in Raritan. My date and I walked in to a beautifully appointed restaurant space to meet no less than 4 hostesses at the reception desk none of whom acknowledged us with a greeting or eye contact. I Introduced myself and stated that I had a reservation. One hostess peered into the laptop then gestured to hostess #2 to look at the screen and then hostess #2 grabbed two menus and gestured that we follow her. We were led to a two top in the back room and upon entering I knew our night wasn't going to go well. In the same room was a party or rather a yell fest of no less than 50 people clapping, screaming and moving about the room. One of the guests nearly fell into my dates lap. Word of advice Char, keep the large parties of 50 or more noisy corporate types separate from the dating or family types. Just a suggestion. Our waiter took our order, I asked that he space our courses as I didn't want to be rushed and he said "yes, I know how to separate courses". Apparently not so much as we were 50% done with our apps and a server began to reach in to remove our first course. I stopped him and explained that we were't finished and he said "no problem, I'll make room. I told him absolutely not, you can return it to the kitchen and keep it warm until we're done. During the meal my date and I decided to swing our table around and sit next to each other as we were unable to have a conversation due to the shouting from the party next to us. The food however was outstanding. Perfect popovers, steaks done as ordered and sides were flavorful and cooked just right. I would have given 4 stars but the lack of care with my request of spacing my courses was just neglectful and unprofessional. The hostess should be trained to greet customers and use the names that they read on the screen! Hello, welcome to Char, do you have a reservation? Oh yes Mr. Smith, your table will be ready in just a moment, Jane will show you to your table......or something like that. Food 5 stars, service, 2 at best.
Be the first to ReplyChar was great.
Wonderful and attentive service. Even though we sat outside, they had fans going and umbrellas which made it more comfortable. While we waited for the food and drinks they brought out fresh bread and that was tasty. The wine came out and that was pretty good as well. All the portions are a good size, pretty well seasoned, and food is cooked to perfection. The sides were great because they are shareable. I also got a seasonal drink which I enjoyed. This place is a little pricey so it might be appropriate for special occasions. Overall, it was a good experience!
Be the first to ReplyHmmm!!! Would have loved to give 4 stars but sadly I cannot.
Food was delicious! Surf & Turf, Mac and Cheese, Spinach, Mashed Potatoes and Salmon we ordered and Cheesecake for dessert! We were greeted and seated. Outside dining was packed so I was happy to stay INSIDE low key and distanced! Our waiter Emery was cool and honest. Overall meal was cool except this tall man in a blue suit kept walking by and peeking. So after he did it several times and as the restaurant began to fill, and I also start to notice he mingling and greeting and being managerial to the other customers... I'm like hmmm let me ask who he is ...I was told he was Mateo the owners cousin. ย The young man I asked and forgot to get his name also mentioned he wasn't his cup of tea either as I explained my disdain for his disregard. I suppose we were invisible. I would advise the owner to advise his cousin to greet all customers as all money is green!

I can't say it enough Char serves up some mouth-watering goodness. I've never dined in so I can't speak on their customer service but jeez Louise the food is oh so tasty! The calamari is a must, lamb chops...can you say SUCCULENT. I mean you just can't go wrong.
