Literally minds blown… the Bison Ribeye will absolutely take you to another planet. I will be back to try more, but will never NOT order the Bison Ribeye. The lamb ribs are an adventure I will continue to crave and wish upon my closest friends. The carrots and mushrooms are incredible. Don’t order the Cherry Parfait unless you’re ready for a seriously deep spiritual experience. Sara our server was the epitome of amazing and empowered even more awe in our evening. When a server cares and invests their attention and presence like Sara does it’s almost as though they’re in the meal with you. All around one of the most profound dining experiences of our lives. Thank you Charcoal! True true.
A good variety of food options, including steak and seafood. I had the oysters, salad, and smoked salmon—each prepared to perfection. The only downside was the long wait between the appetizer and main course, which took around 45 minutes. Aside from that, everything else was excellent. The restaurant is also great for group parties.
Overpriced with average steaks, too many bells and whistles with not enough focus on the main attraction. 50$ steaks were ridiculously chewy and sinewy, worse than 5$ steaks from the store. Sides admittedly were quite nice but nothing exceptional and steaks were so poor it didn’t help. Probably good if you’re willing to drop 80$ on a steak but you’re still getting ripped off.
Group of 5, we waited over an hour and half for our food! Staff said it’s because the steaks are scheduled to come out together, it doesn’t take an hour to cook a steak! Some dishes came out cold and steak wasn’t good quality meat to start with. They also brought the wrong bottle of wine to the table, wasn’t until it was poured did we notice. They didn’t even offer a round of drinks when providing our feedback. Would never go back. (Review was based on visit over 1 year ago)
Love the food! Really great!
Always a great dining experience. The food is yummy, cool vibes and excellent service.
Meat and fire … the absolute perfect combination. It must appeal to the primal instinct in all of us, and there’s just something that speaks to my soul when I see a well cooked piece of meat over the flame. And boy do they know what they’re doing over at @charcoalrestaurants
But it’s not just the meat that is well prepared. We started off with some amazing sourdough and butter, followed by the charred cabbage. Man was that an amazing dish, I was bummed that I had to share it with the table. Solid old fashioned which always goes well with smoked and charred foods.
The main show: gigantic piece of meat that we shared amongst 4 of us with all the sides. The steak itself was perfectly cooked and had the right marbling and char to make it amazing. The sides were all great, I loved the broccolini and the mushrooms, and the carrots were glazed and caramelised and so so tasty.
A great vibe in the restaurant, and wonderful service, who could ask for anything more! Run, don’t walk to Charcoal!
The food was Excellent!!!. We had the rack of lamb, chicken, pork chops. Kale salad, calamari, carrots and steak fries.
騒音が気になりましたが、それ以外は素晴らしく、また行きたいと思います。お肉、とても美味しかったです!
The best baked potato ever!!! Great drinks staff is awesome. I'm very hard to impress with food! Everything here is amazing! I highly recommended going and a reservation to guarantee seating!

Love this place! Great menu from top to bottom. Everything is meant to be shared with that table. Deliciousness was a 10/10!
Absolutely killer beef cooked over charcoal. Same for yhe lamb chops, exceptional. Service was polite, and staff was great. I had to contact them because of a flight delay and they were very accommodating. Inventive cocktails and a fairly priced solid wine list. One note, it's small (ie Parisian bistro) so you could drive right by it! 5 stars
First time here was great. Second time the service was inattentive and, as noted by another reviewer, the food came out cold. Very surprising for a Michelin starred restaurant.
We arrived right on time for our reservation and the hostess said our table isn't ready yet. We waited 30 minutes before a table opened up and the hostess wasn't apologetic about it at all. She was actually quite rude when we asked for an update. With a reservation, no one should have to wait 30 minutes, and if they do, the staff should find a way to make it right. When we sat down, our server didn't come to our table for a very long time. Someone asked if we wanted water and never came. Regardless, when our server finally came, he was super nice and attentive. The food was very very good - we've been here many times and that's why we keep coming back. Service was slow (ordering dessert added 45 minutes to our dining experience for example), but all the bus boys and our server were really nice so we can't fault them. Overall, great food and nice service, except for the hostess and the absurd wait time for our reservation.
Erin, the server was an absolute delight. She made great food recs and was notably great at multitasking. Antonio, another one of the staff members was incredibly attentive and such a pleasure to have met. The steak and seasonal menu items were 10/10. We will absolutely be back!
