| - This is a steak house the way real steak houses used to be.
Definitely for the more mature crowd...as we are....pushing 50! Loud, dark, excellent service, wonderful food. We came with friends, and would probably not come alone, as it does get loud with crowded tables....definitely would not bring kids.
Some yelpers have said that when they arrive, even with a ressie, they have to wait. We must have been lucky....we were seated immediately for our Saturday night 6:45 ressie. I'm not sure you could get into this place with out one. Oh! And they have valet parking for $7.00( a bit steep)...but there wasn't a spot to be found.
I was very impressed with the food quality...as we started off with a huge plate of onion skins, courtesy of yelp. At the table they give you sliced bagel crisps and rye bread.
I ordered the prime rib 12 oz medium rare with a side Caesar salad, mayo cole slaw, and baked potato. Unfortunately they ran out of baked potatoes so I got potatoes au gratin. My steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I see why everyone loves the coleslaw....one of our guests said that he hadn't eaten a steak this good in a very long time.
Don and Charlie's isn't for everyone, it's not trendy or gourmet....it's just solid good steaks and ribs, older crowd atmosphere, with excellent service you should expect from a great restaurant.
