About 4 Charles Prime Rib
4 Charles Prime Rib is a small steakhouse at 4 Charles Street in Manhattan's West Village, part of the Hogsalt restaurant group1. The Michelin Guide presents it as Brendan Sodikoff's restaurant4, and he is also the man behind Au Cheval in Chicago5,6. It has been open since 20163.
The dining room sits at the base of a West Village townhouse5. The restaurant describes crystal chandeliers, plush leather seating and paintings on dark wood walls, a late-night room that nods to a lost era1. The Infatuation counts around 10 tables in a sunken room with red booths3, and a 2017 UrbanDaddy visit noted the deep banquettes and ornately framed artwork6.
The menu is à la carte: a raw bar with oysters, shrimp, king crab and caviar, salads, steaks, chops and fish2. The centrepiece is salt-crusted roast prime rib with jus and horseradish cream, sold in an English, Chicago or King cut, plus a Gorgonzola-aged 4 Charles cut2. A 10oz double wagyu cheeseburger and a prime rib French dip round out the mains2.
Tables are scarce: The Infatuation reports that reservations open 21 days ahead at 9am and that walk-in hopefuls should be in line by 3pm3.
What people like
- The double wagyu cheeseburger: The Infatuation calls it non-negotiable and says it tastes better here than at the sister restaurants, and NYC Tourism calls it exceptional.3,5
- The salt-crusted prime rib, which NYC Tourism calls the main event and the Michelin Guide notes is served three different ways.4,5
- The chocolate cream pie, named the best dessert here by The Infatuation and singled out by the Michelin Guide for its Valrhona chocolate and Oreo crust.3,4
- The snug, dim room with its booths and framed paintings, which NYC Tourism describes as a cocoon of comfort.3,5,6
- The staff, whose engaging banter the Michelin Guide points out.4
