"I am always on the lookout for a new steak restaurant, so I headed north to Putnam county. I wanted to try Char after getting fed up excuse the pun) with overpriced steakhouses down county and in NYC where prices for one person with an App, bone in porterhouse or rib eye, a side and three drinks can put you back 125 or more w/o tip. Well Char won the battle for my with a 83 tap at the bar with 3 happy hour priced drinks ice cold Brooklyn Lager 6, two glasses of a pretty good Malbec 6 and my favorite a Josh Cabernet 8. None of those cheap wine pours with the little carafe, these were generous pours Now to be fair, the 18 Oz French cut bone in rib steak 44) looked great when plated, the free shoe string fries and a nice sautéed zucchini slices also no extra charge) The steak was cooked medium perfectly, while it was tender Black Angus beef, it was still a bit fatty. The steak was very good at least as good as a summer BBQ at Uncle Louie's house, but it couldn't compare to dry aged beef which is now over 70 a plate at fancy steakhouses. The HH lobster roll which I had instead of clams and oysters which are available and looked good) was toasty lobsta excellence. So in summary, I'll return likely for the HH Apps and if the stock market tanks or if I'm headed down the Taconic after a day of hiking I'll gladly eat a Char steak."
