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.

This is our 3rd year having Thanksgiving at Charcoal and it continues to be a great experience…and now likely a tradition. Sarah is the best server — she remembers us each time. Great food and healthy portions — you’ll feel stuffed like you had Thanksgiving at home!

We sat at the bar for happy hour - excellent menu selection with awesome prices! I did find the bar area louder than sitting in the restaurant (only a few feet away but it was manageable. Food, service, and drinks were on-point. Bar seats seem to be hard to get and I think we got lucky.

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.
