"If you’re looking for a private event space on the Sunset Strip, Charcoal Sunset is a great pick. This is the second (and larger) location of the Venice steakhouse we’re big fans of, and it offers both indoor and outdoor options for private dinners. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"The West Hollywood restaurant opened in July 2023 along the Sunset Strip next to iconic venues like the Whiskey a Go Go and Rainbow Bar & Grill. The 320-seat restaurant was known for its surf-and-turf options including an Angus porterhouse, aged duck, and grilled loup de mer. Though the closure will be felt in the West Hollywood dining scene, fans of Charcoal can still head west to the Venice location for Citrin’s cooking." - Rebecca Roland
"Both the Venice and West Hollywood locations of this steakhouse are offering three-course menus for Thanksgiving. In addition to turkey, expect non-traditional options like sunchoke rosemary soup, slow-roasted prime rib, and cabbage baked in embers with a lemon yogurt glaze. Price: $125 per person " - Nikko Duren
"A West Hollywood branch of Josiah Citrin’s original Venice restaurant, Charcoal Sunset takes the chef’s fine approach to the steakhouse format. Citrin, who has three combined Michelin stars at his Santa Monica restaurants Mélisse and Citrin, brings a refined touch to things like tuna tartare, chopped salad, smoked lamb ribs, and Dungeness crab pasta to start. The steak menu should appeal to all stripes of meat lovers, but the house dry-aged ribeyes are the way to go, nicely seared from a wood fire and served on silver platters for a luxurious feel." - Matthew Kang, Farley Elliott
"Wielding three combined Michelin stars for Mélisse and Citrin (two for the former, one for the latter), longtime Santa Monica chef Josiah Citrin is opening a second location of his Venice steakhouse Charcoal, but this time in the deal-making hotbed of the Sunset Strip. With 230 seats inside, a wide street-level patio, and a wraparound cocktail bar, Citrin is poised to make some big bucks along with the Hollywood power brokers that like to frequent West Hollywood steakhouses. Consider the success and staying power of Boa, just a few blocks down, and consistently one of the most popular places on the Sunset Strip." - Matthew Kang
