Somerset County Steakhouse Named Among Best In NJ

RARITAN, NJ — Known for serving up meaty steaks with a generous charred crust, Char in Raritan was named to New Jersey Monthly's list of 20 best steakhouses in New Jersey. It was the only Somerset County restaurant to make the list this year.

Char, at 777 Route 202 North in Raritan, also has a location in Red Bank.

"The 14-ounce, dry aged prime strip steak is rich, firm and full-bodied in flavor. The filet mignon is buttery and delicate. Each steak is garnished with a roasted garlic bulb," according to NJ Monthly.

The review goes on to rave about the restaurant's sides, appetizers and desserts including the "hearty lobster avocado salad, topped with a whole claw in a lively citronette dressing, encircled by tomato confit."
