About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for business meals
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.

    The food is good, but the service was a little lacking. It was definitely not what you would expect from a Michelin star rated restaurant.

    This is our 3rd time at Charcoal Venice and the food is what always brings us back and didn't disappoint per usual. Service was a bit hit or miss this time around. Very slow waits to order and receive drinks. I had to ask about the status a couple of times during the meal. I understand that the place was busy but not any worse than the other times I've been there and the service was much better previous times

    We’ve been here about half a dozen times, and most times the service is just barely passable. Most recently it took them about 45 minutes to get the entrées to the table while tables that had ordered later were being served. when I finally inquired about the status of our food, I got the “we’re busy in the kitchen tonight”

    Food was very good but steak was not warm by the time it arrived to the table. Plates were not switched out on time between food. No one checked in on meal or drinks throughout the meal. Mushrooms and wings were very tasty. Service could have been better.
