Great for creative cocktails
Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions

Charcoal Venice is an inviting neighborhood restaurant from Michelin-starred Chef and Owner Josiah Citrin that was inspired by the backyard barbecues he hosts on weekends for his friends and family. As the name suggests, everything is cooked indoors over live fire – whether over charcoal or in the coals. Citrin and Chef de Cuisine Dani McNish prepare a seasonal menu of craveable comfort foods featuring locally-sourced proteins and vegetables ideal for sharing family-style. Whether diving into a platter of smoky grilled chicken wings with a beer or classic cocktail at the bar, or splitting a 48 oz. dry-aged Porterhouse and a bottle of Bandol with friends, Charcoal Venice is an everyday dining spot.

Horrible acoustics -- way to loud -- hard to carry on a conversation. Service was slow and spotty. Good food.

Waiter was great, but my steak was overcooked... a no no for a steakhouse. Great vibe but very noisy.

We just had a FABULOUS dinner at Charcoal. Salad, appetizers (carrots, beets tartare) were delicious & our entrees (grilled duck, shrimp, steak & pasta) were superb! The coconut sorbet was delicious. The service was outstanding. We cannot wait to return! Thank you, Charcoal Team!

The food is amazing; staff is very professional and handled the problem my party presented (my friend forgot the reservation time and got there an hour late pushing them back into their closing time on Thanksgiving night !) with aplomb. I'm angry with my friend but Charcoal did everything they could to salvage the night.

Thanksgiving was our first visit to Charcoal, and it was a great experience. The food is incredible, and the service was great. We sat on the patio and it was quiet and a perfect setting. We can't wait to return for the regular menu.

Went there for Thanksgiving dinner. The food was very good, the price was reasonable, and they didn’t skimp on quality or quantity. We took quite a bit home in the end. My only complaint is that I ordered a pre-dinner cocktail, and the first dishes arrived pretty much together with it.

This was probably one of the best Thanksgiving meals I’ve had in my life. Charcoal raises the bar for a holiday meal, as my expectations from other places in the past have been a high price paired with average food and you feel like you got robbed because the restaurant was taking advantage of the holiday with a pre-fixe menu. In this case, it was a fair price for a high quality and delicious experience matched with friendly professional service.
