Great for creative cocktails
Neighbourhood gem
Hot spot

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 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

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.

Charcoal was a really great experience. We went for Dine LA and were blown away by some of the dishes. The salmon was sadly very under cooked (I’m picky!) but otherwise absolute perfection. Get the cosmo here - so good!

Just bad. Maybe just the dine la menu but for a meat place, it’s weird when the vegetables were the only edible/mildly enjoyable foods. Salmon was essentially raw. I usually like my fish and meats medium rare but this was basically a pile of pink mush. Saw many other people not eating it as well. Yucky.

Wonderful experience. Our waiter, Sara, was super attentive, fun, and creative with suggestions. Thank you also to Tony, our diligent bus man, and Erick, the amazing bartender, for leveling up our experience. Of course it wouldn’t have been a true dining experience without the unique talents of Chef Johnny and owner Josiah Citrin. We can’t wait to go back!
