- MMichaelScranton / Poconos •3 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoAs usual a good experience with great tasting food. Unfortunately my strip steak was closer to well than the medium it was supposed to be. This seems to be a recurring problem from a restaurant that hangs its reputation on their steaksMore infoChar Steak & LoungePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Rochester•4.6
