Charcoal Venice

"This has been a go-to spot for a while. My best friend and I would go here when we were having a bad day and it would always cheer us up. Truly one of the best steakhouses in LA. Great cocktails too. "

"Michelin mention 2024 Chef/owner Josiah Citrin works his magic at this casually upscale grill, where nearly everything is cooked over the fire. Wafts of aromatic charred meat greet guests before they’ve even made it through the door. The menu may be inspired by a backyard barbecue, but the décor is a contemporary mix of concrete walls, beige booths and modern artwork. Steaks come with ramekins of sauce like creamy and smoky choron, in addition to the trio of signature condiments on the table. However, this meat is too flavorful to really need anything. Diners may be here for the steaks, but those in the know also order the cabbage baked in embers, served with lemon-sumac yogurt. The bar area is bustling and loud, thanks to the list of happy hour specials."

"Went to dinner there with the Bustrums - duck, skirt steak and honey glazed carrots were really good :) tuna tartare was just okay. 4.5 stars with 641 reviews on Google. 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 Jordan Olivo 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.

"Chef Josiah Citrin’s brunch menu blends Charcoal’s live fire-driven fare with classic brunch dishes. The menu has something for every mood including eggs Benedict with a jet-black hollandaise and a persimmon pancake with pomegranate and lemon. Josiah Citrin went more casual in his follow-up to high-end Mélisse. At Charcoal near the Venice border, he and chef de cuisine Joseph Johnson apply similar attention to detail to more recognizable and California-influenced dishes. Their three-egg omelette, available during weekend brunch, is prepared using textbook French technique. A fluffy omelet cradles wilted spinach, avocado, aged Cheddar, grilled spring onion, and tomato. Each order comes with roasted potatoes, an intensely flavorful tomato, and mixed greens. 425 Washington Blvd., Marina del Rey, 310.751.6794"
