The Char Steakhouse & Bar is an amazing upscale and great quality steakhouse house chain restaurant that offers guests superbly made steak and seafood cuisine in a warm and cozy setting. In November of 2023, I brought and treated my wife and myself for dinner at the Char Steakhouse & Bar, specifically the branch based in Mahopac, NY, and we had a wonderful dining experience!!! We were kindly welcomed and warmly treated by the restaurant’s staff and we were provided with the best table in the restaurant, one closely located to the fireplace. Our server, Nikki H treated us with impeccable customer service by providing us with a detailed overview of the menu options and specials and carefully noting our meal selections. She also routinely checked with us to see if we were enjoying our meals. We give a huge two thumbs up to the service provided by Nikki H. In addition to enjoying our service, both my wife and I absolutely loved our meals and found that it was perfect cooked, seasoned and unbelievably tasty and delicious!!! My wife ordered and enjoyed her steak based entree while I ordered and loved my burger based entree. It was unquestionably one of the best meals we’ve ever had!!! My wife and I highly recommend for everyone to visit and dine at Char Steakhouse!!! We are confident that you’ll have a great dining experience!!!

Mikey was our waiter and he was wonderful! Even though it was busy, he was still attentive. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. I personally had to take my meal home because I was so full from drinks and the appetizers. I had a steak, mashed potatoes, and the vegetable medley was incredible!

The food was AMAZING! We heated up our leftovers for breakfast and we all were STILL raving at how amazing the food STILL was! Our server Mikey was so courteous and we were so appreciative that he was hired. The owner came and laughed with us…we were thoroughly pleased and felt welcome!! We are from SC and found this place through a Google search at the last minute and are so glad. If we ever come back to NY, Char is ON OUR LIST! Thank you! Yes, the environment is noisy because all the guests are talking and laughing and having a GOOD TIME, but had NO PROBLEM hearing each other!

Just wow! The Potterhouse steak for two was amazing. It was cooked perfectly and the sides were a good size. Started seated outside but the mosquitoes were as hungry as I was! They quickly accommodated us inside which was great. The staff was attentive and didn’t rush us. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
We hosted my dad's funeral lunch at Char in January . As always you never know how many people will show up for an event like this . Frank, Nickie and the rest of the Char team did an excellent job accommodating everyone. They were sensitive to our needs and made sure everyone had everything they needed and did it with a smile. The food was plenty as and we never had to wait for a drink. Hats off to everyone at Char. It is always such a treat to go to a place that displays hospitality at its best .

everyone told me Char was overpriced but I was pleasantly surprised to see that’s not true at all. Me and my dad came in on weds and they have a great prime rib special and their portions are quite generous. Atmosphere is a little stiff but that’s all westchester/putnam. Old school steakhouse vibes but clean and updated. The place filled up quickly while we were eating but the service was great and Jessica obviously knows what she’s doing , props to u sis. Also the busboys are attentive and very sweet. I’m not a huge steak person but it’s nice for a family meal. I had the Panko crusted mahi mahi and it was no lie the size of an ellios pizza. Showstopper was the wedge salad. Best one I’ve ever had. The owner came by and it’s always nice to see them in the crowd, they definitely CARE, which is pretty rare nowadays. I’ll come back with more carnivorous friends sometime. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Took my family out to celebrate my oldest sons 40th birthday. Very disappointed to say the least. Service was horribly slow. Two of our meals were cooked way too much. Both ordered the steak sandwich with the steak medium rare but got them well done. They offered to re-make them but already waited almost two hours for our meals so they ate them as is rather than wait any longer. Our dirty dishes sat forever in front of us and were not removed from the table in a timely fashion. Had to ask for refills on water and drinks. On top of this, not our waiter but one of the staff, dumped a glass of ginger ale down my daughter-in-laws back. The owner did offer his card in case she wanted to get her clothes cleaned but that was all. While I know this is common practice with larger groups but a 20 percent gratuity was automatically added to our bill. This left a very sour feeling in my gut as the service sucked! Won't see me in there again. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2
Last night was our first time at Char since moving to the area. My husband and I went for my birthday. We cannot wait to go back! Nikki was our server and she provides the best service we’ve ever experienced. She has the most fun, sweetest personality, made helpful recommendations, and really made our night. Can’t say enough about her! Makes sense why she has been there for 10 years, and clearly still loves her job and interacting with guests! Food was excellent and reasonably priced for a steakhouse. We had a porterhouse and tomahawk special. We will be back soon!! Can’t wait to try more items on the menu. Thanks for a memorable evening!
