What LTML likes about Restaurant Le Charbon Steakhouse:
Old school steak house with all the fixings and your meat cooked 100% perfect! From the decor , to your pre-meal fixings, this place is old school in all the right ways. The staff no their offerings and their wine list pairings thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The most confusing thing about the place -where to enter, it’s in through the the main doors of the VIA train station then off to the left. View all feedback. What VINIBU doesn't like about Restaurant Le Charbon Steakhouse:
Too bad, the food was excellent, atmosphere was fine, but the service component of the experience was completely lacking. From the get-go, we ordered drinks, and the server didn't know what kind of vodka they had. Stolle? she walked away and then returned; no. Grey Goose? she walked away. Drinks when they did arrive extremely skimpy. Yea, looked to me like exactly 1.5 0z of whiskey. C'mon guys, it's a steak house! Ha... View all feedback.

Reviews for this restaurant were mixed. Some diners were disappointed with their meals, finding them overcooked and lacking in flavor, with some feeling that the high prices were not justified. Others, however, praised the steaks as being exceptionally delicious, cooked perfectly, and worth the visit. Despite some service mishaps and delays in receiving food, the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was generally described as warm and cozy. The historic location in an old train station was also a point of interest for many. Overall, the restaurant seems to have its ups and downs, with some guests enjoying a great experience while others felt underwhelmed.

The steaks were touted as aged and extremely tasty, but reality was they were average.

The entrecôte is really excellent with a very nice and well portion side dish. The Accra were also traditionally made and with a nice spicey coleslaw.
