    The changes charcoal has made are very positive. I wish they had reasonably priced bottles of wine.

    As always, the Charcoal did not disappoint. We have been dining here on special occasions for literally decades and the outstanding service and quality is what keeps us coming back. Drinks, apps, mains and dessert were all perfect and our trainee waitress and her trainer were very attentive. Well done, again!! We’ll be back soon!

    We really enjoyed our visit. The food was delicious. Our waitress, Alita, was amazing!! We really like the big square table for the 8 of us. Makes it easy to talk to each other. And the room was lovely. We will be back.

    Everyone enjoyed their meal! The waitress Abby moved us to a different table as the initial one was quite wobbly. All changes were made so easily with a smile!
