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.

    Absolutely killer beef cooked over charcoal. Same for yhe lamb chops, exceptional. Service was polite, and staff was great. I had to contact them because of a flight delay and they were very accommodating. Inventive cocktails and a fairly priced solid wine list. One note, it’s small (ie Parisian bistro) so you could drive right by it! 5 stars

    First time here was great. Second time the service was inattentive and, as noted by another reviewer, the food came out cold. Very surprising for a Michelin starred restaurant.

    We arrived right on time for our reservation and the hostess said our table isn’t ready yet. We waited 30 minutes before a table opened up and the hostess wasn’t apologetic about it at all. She was actually quite rude when we asked for an update. With a reservation, no one should have to wait 30 minutes, and if they do, the staff should find a way to make it right. When we sat down, our server didn’t come to our table for a very long time. Someone asked if we wanted water and never came. Regardless, when our server finally came, he was super nice and attentive. The food was very very good - we’ve been here many times and that’s why we keep coming back. Service was slow (ordering dessert added 45 minutes to our dining experience for example), but all the bus boys and our server were really nice so we can’t fault them. Overall, great food and nice service, except for the hostess and the absurd wait time for our reservation.
