The story
On a quiet stretch of Charles Street in New York’s West Village, a brownstone doorway leads to a dining room that feels like a lost era. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow over plush leather seating, and paintings line the dark wood walls. This is 4 Charles Prime Rib, a late-night dining den that welcomes friends old and new with classic cuts, strong drinks, and an exceptional wine list.
The restaurant’s focus is clear from its name: USDA Prime Rib of Beef, salt-crusted and served with natural beef jus and horseradish cream. Guests choose from an English Cut, a generous Chicago Cut, or the double-cut, bone-in King Cut. For something unique, the limited-availability 4 Charles Cut features Gorgonzola-aged prime rib. Beyond the namesake dish, the menu offers a full steakhouse experience, including a Dry Aged Bone-In Ribeye, a Wagyu New York Strip, and a Bone-In Filet Mignon, all served with béarnaise sauce and steak salt.
The kitchen also turns out a 10oz Double Wagyu Cheeseburger, Honey Peppered Ora King Salmon, and a Cacio e Pepe Carbonara Pasta. A raw bar with fresh oysters, Otoro Tartare with Caviar, and Alaskan King Crab rounds out the offerings. Sides like Truffle Mac & Cheese, Elote Style Corn, and Buttery Mashed Potatoes are designed to share. Weekend brunch brings a Crab Cake Benedict and a Truffle Omelette, while the bar program—from a classic Old Fashioned to a 4 Charles Punch—keeps the atmosphere lively.
This steakhouse in New York City has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a recognition that fits naturally with the polished, welcoming atmosphere. Whether for a private dinner in one of the available rooms or a late-night meal at the bar, 4 Charles Prime Rib delivers a classic New York dining experience.
