This relaxed Venice steakhouse is where dry-aged cuts and well-executed sides come from Josiah Citrin, the chef behind two Michelin star Mélisse. Charcoal’s signature blackened cabbage is as good as ever; a few pastas, seafood and poultry dishes break up the meatfest for anyone who’s not into steak. During nightly “glass off” (open–7pm), sit at the wraparound bar for an excellent $12 burger made with white American cheese and discounted cocktails. While Charcoal’s ambience might run more casual than other steakhouses around town, Citrin serves some of the best steaks in the city—especially when chased with the housemade spiced vinegar that graces every table.
