Thirty-two seats. One sitting.
4 Charles Prime Rib runs barely ten tables out of a West Village brownstone, a room built more like a speakeasy than a steakhouse. Seats release twenty-one days out at nine in the morning and disappear within seconds. The best tables rarely reach the public at all, because the house holds them back for regulars and the names it already knows.
A room this small does not run on speed, it runs on recognition. We have standing relationships with the people who seat the room, we watch the cancellations the public never sees, and we know which windows actually open. We put your name where the host stand already trusts it.
