4 Charles Prime Rib

Inside this brownstone, a small dining room is dressed in crystal chandeliers, plush leather seating, and paintings on dark wood walls. The menu runs on rich, classic tastes, pairing ribeye and thick-cut bacon with an extensive wine list. The real theater belongs to the cheeseburger, which servers slice tableside in white cotton gloves to release a runny egg yolk. The service is friendly, though you may have to navigate a highly practiced tableside sales pitch and slow-moving drinks.
