Charcoal Venice is an American restaurant featuring a menu inspired by backyard gatherings and prepared with a focus on wood-fired flavors.
You'll want the lamb ribs, smoked to perfection, and the ember-baked cabbage, which is surprisingly flavorful. For a main, the filet mignon is exceptional, and don't skip the steak fries.
Wafts of aromatic charred meat greet guests before they even make it through the door, setting a casually upscale tone. The decor features a contemporary mix of concrete walls, beige booths, and modern artwork, though some find the bar crowd's boisterous "typical bar behavior" can intrude on the dining experience.
Patrons frequently highlight the Wagyu and the baked potato as must-order items. The cocktails, including the Mezcal Negroni and the Charcoal Margarita, are also highly regarded.
