Diner Reviews
  • "The brussel sprouts were awesome and the bacon wrapped dates were pretty incredible. Good service and decent ambience, though I've been some places downtown with better decor."
    Dined on 7/3/2014
  • "I've been to Charcoal many times...love to bring out-of-town friends...and the food is always delicious and delightfully presented. This time, I went with my sister and a friend and we all raved about our various brunch entrees. I had the vegetable omelet with a side of incredible green chile; my sister had the Swedish pancakes which is her favorite dish; and our friend had the three-course brunch that featured a tasty rendition of chicken and waffles. We all agreed that the food was the best we'd ever had at Charcoal...a very tall order since we all consider it a favorite."

  • "As always this restaurant proves to be among Denver's best. Innovative preparation plus high quality ingredients and generous portions make for an excellent experience."
    Dined on 7/6/2014
  • "Not as good as it used to be...the food was just okay and the selections on the menu are not very interesting and the service was slow. We used to really like this place but I don't think we'll be back."
    Dined on 6/27/2014
  • "We had an amazing server; the food was outstanding. It was a perfect experience."
    Dined on 7/6/2014
  • "Our food was lovely. It was well portioned. Service was very gracious. All dishes were exceptional except the pork loin which was served in a novel pounded flat fashion--I'm afraid it was dry. Desserts by Joy Williams are always a treat and this time was no exception."
    Dined on 6/30/2014
  • "Our service was a little slow to start with, however, they completely made up for it once we actually got our first attention. Awesome place."
    Dined on 6/21/2014
  • "We opted for the culinary student's brunch. Cant' beat the $15 per price. Food was good, not great. Had some issues with having our eggs prepared as we had requested. Nice variety with the courses served, but nothing really stood out. Service was spotty, and it shouldn't have been since there were only three other tables being served."
    Dined on 6/29/2014
  • "Nice find in downtown Denver. food and service were great!"
    Dined on 12/17/2013
  • "I randomly strolled in last summer during Sunday and had a fabulous brunch at the bar. When I went back months later Tom had given up the Sunday Funday brunch shift but Kevin was a capable substitute. He was very knowledgable about the menu and they were very accommodating with my food intolerances. I've since returned for a chef's dinner and had a very romantic dinner this past weekend. It's worth the drive from Boulder."

  • "Five of us dined on a Saturday night. My husband and I had dined here on a week night and enjoyed it. On this occasion; conversation was nearly impossible. Very good food, but much too noisy!"
    Dined on 6/28/2014
  • "The noise level in the restaurant was very annoying and did not facilitate a comfortable conversation with my companion."
    Dined on 6/27/2014
  • "Very nice ambience, welcoming staff, but we found the food to be mediocre and disappointing."
    Dined on 6/27/2014
  • "Never been a brussel sprouts person but theirs are scrumptious. They are always consistant in delivery if their food. Great neighborhood gem."
    Dined on 6/26/2014
  • "Better service and good than just the neighborhood restaurant"
    Dined on 6/14/2014
  • "Charcoal is one of our favorite restaurants. We have eaten there several times, and every time our meals (lunch or dinner) have been exceptional. This is a restaurant we always recommend to our friends."
    Dined on 6/15/2014
  • "We celebrated a birthday here. The service right form the start was wonderful, friendly yet professional. The food was marvelous, unique, flavorful and the presentation almost artistic. All in all a wonderful experience. We definitely would recommend Charcoal, and look forward to coming back."
    Dined on 6/14/2014
  • "Very nice restaurant in Denver. Nothing special or unique, but delicious food and good service. All of our party were very pleased with their meals. The decor is very minimalist, so it's not a warm and cozy atmosphere. We had a business dinner here, so it was a perfect setting. Overall, it's a great choice for dinner and conveniently located. Would definitely recommend dining here!"
    Dined on 6/9/2014
  • "This is the perfect place to spend time enjoying friends over great food. As I entered the restaurant, I was promptly greeted and seated in a contemporary venue that holds a depth of warmth surroundings, created through the careful selection of decorative materials. The menu is fresh and creative. The food is prepared so that the tastes are distinctly clean. The presentation was perfect. Service was always courteous, timely and efficient. This is a welcoming establishment, where I would be very pleased to host friends, again and again."
    Dined on 6/6/2014
  • "My friends and I had a wonderful dining experience at Charcoal. The cocktails were delicious, the food was amazing, and our waitress was perfect. This restaurant continues to provide its guests with a fantastic experience overall. We cannot wait to eat here again."
    Dined on 6/6/2014
  • "I had heard about this restaurant from a friend who found it and keeps going back. I thought the menu was a little limited - not anything on the menu was exciting, which doesn't usually happen to me a cute new restaurants. I ordered the gnocchi, which was good, but I ordered it by default because nothing else appealed to me. I prefer restaurants where everything sounds good, I have trouble deciding, and then end up going back several times so that I can try everything. Sadly, that won't happen here."
    Dined on 6/3/2014
  • "Great food and ambience. The food is unique and beautiful presentation. Waiter very friendly and helpful. Our new favorite restaurant in Denver !"
    Dined on 6/2/2014
  • "Food was great! but waitress was a little slow and it was a difficult to have a conversation because it was so loud."
    Dined on 5/30/2014
  • "As patrons of the nearby Curious Theatre Company, we were looking for a good neighborhood restaurant: we found one. Ordering like Oliver Twist in a candy store, we tried bacon wrapped dates off the "bites" section of the menu, and the meal improved from there. The wine list was substantial, and the service was outstanding. This restaurant can hold its own in comparison to others perennially seen in "top 25" lists, etc. We'll be back. "
    Dined on 5/31/2014
  • "My favorite happy hour in town and great food presented nicely. The decor is outstanding and the help is very friendly."
    Dined on 5/29/2014
  • "I have been here several times with my boyfriend on birthdays, anniversaries, ect. We love it! The food portions are generous and always cooked perfectly. I have had the beef, salmon, and pork options- all great! We typically order 2 'small bites', 2 glasses of wine, 2 meals, and 2 desserts, and our bill comes to about $100 (before tip). This is a lot of food for 2 people! We are young and very active and have massive appetites, so for a less ravenous pair, I would say two meals plus a shared appetizer OR dessert would be sufficient. We have seen the owner several times- he occasionally wanders about the dining room chatting with guests. Great atmosphere!"

  • "smoked salmon in salmon salad was extremely salty--couldn't eat it all"
    Dined on 5/24/2014
  • "Went to have brunch at charcoal for the first time with a friend. The wine I had was amazing! Best I had in a long time. Brunch was deliciously tasty! I would definitely go back there again. Service was great. "
    Dined on 5/25/2014
  • "The mushroom gnocci was wonderful. My friend had the roasted lamb & it was superb. The atmosphere was relaxed, but very sophisticated. "
    Dined on 5/24/2014
  • "Food was superbly prepared, portions were generous, presentation was attractive and the waitress was eager to accommodate a couple of special requests."
    Dined on 5/23/2014
  • "Chef Patrick took wonderful care of us! Amazing shrimp appetizer. Loved the trout and chicken entrees!"
    Dined on 5/17/2014
  • "The table needed to be cleaned before dessert. Water should have been poured more frequently. A few more attention to details when walking past the table."
    Dined on 5/17/2014
  • "My new favorite restaurant. Thanks Cassie for recommending. excellent attentive service. pork tenderloin which was recommended by the waiter was superb!"
    Dined on 5/14/2014
  • "I've been here several times, none of them disappointing. Food is always consistent and tasty. Service is impeccable. Ambience is warm. A fine place for a couple's dinner or with a few friends."

  • "Charcoal was simply amazing. This was a very special family occasion. Party of 10. 4 elderly people. The staff handled all of our special requests without batting an eye. Everything was perfect from the delicious cocktails to every detail of the fantastic dinner. The staff was great in handling our large, needy party. Our server didn't miss a beat even though she had other tables. Charcoal made our dinner with demanding diners simply an amazing experience."

  • "Loved the combination of Swedish influence and grilling. "
    Dined on 4/20/2014
  • "We both had the perfectly prepared (to our individual liking) burger. Hard to stick to what we went for because there are SO MANY wonderful choices and the specials, both ravioli dishes sounded heavenly. Lovely, attentive to the most comfortable degree, waitress. "
    Dined on 5/6/2014
  • "Good food. Worst service ever. Will likely choose another place before I go back. "
    Dined on 5/4/2014
  • "Came for DRW and got the Chef's Table and one of the most memorable dining experiences! Let the Chef bring us dishes and nothing disappointed!"
    Dined on 2/28/2014
  • "Second time here and loved every delicious morsel! My only worry was the server didn't know the menu well enough to tell us if there were nuts in certain dishes and I was with someone with a major nut allergy! Other than that...AWESOME!"
