We were here for a birthday celebration. The service was great and the food was very good. A bit on the saltier side but that’s just personal preference. Overall good experience

Have loved the Charcoal for years. Been many times. Last night just seemed a little off. Our server must have been having a bad night and didn’t smile and wasn’t very helpful. It was enough that even our guests commented to us about it. The food was mediocre. I commented that it was missing something, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Hey, I love a great steak and was looking forward to it, but it was just ok. Will I go back? Yes. But I’ll probably try somewhere else first.

Great food & energy! Our server was excellent - so friendly & helpful. We were celebrating my friend's bday & it was so wonderful that she got a free dessert of her choice! I forgot my cell at the restaurant & they even tried to call me, to return it & when I came back to get it, they of course had it. It was a fantastic experience & I would highly recommend Martini's to anyone! :)

Our dining experience was very pleasant at Martinis, the food is always fantastic, with many gluten-free options,. Our server was very slow, forgot to bring soy sauce as requested for the meal as well as left us sitting for about 30 minutes before bringing the bill.

This place never disappoints - brought some work colleagues and they were equally impressed, especially with Whitney - our bartender. Definitely a 5 star experience!
