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.

    Happy hour seems to be the popular thing at Charcoal. The bar was full and then at 7pm everyone disappeared. We stayed for dinner but I can see why the discounted prices of happy hour were appealing.

    Excellent experience, service was impeccable and the food was great, specially the Ribeye, which is served medium rare, it's just a delicacy for those who love a high quality steak.

    Great neighborhood restaurant . It is unfortunate they refuse to serve the hamburger unless you are seated in the bar. The restaurant is very loud so avoid on a Friday or Saturday
