Last weekend, Jayne Boris King Milner and I finished our day trip to the magic city at this delightful new dining mecca in Miami's Wynwood District. The food is delish, the setting and ambiance cool, refreshing, and hip. The staff all worked together like a fine-tuned clock, very warm, attentive, and knowledgeable about the offerings. Imagine a wide ranging menu of dishes prepared in a charcoal oven. Yeh, an explosion of flavors that really is an exciting gastronomic experience. More...

Kick ass, food. Super island vibe. Terrific Service. Ken Lyon created another one of his gems in Wynwood. The freshest most authentic farm to table restaurant in Miami. The Josper Charcoal grill takes grilling, to a new level. Going back for 2nds and 3rds!! Foodie food. More...

Very pleasantly surprised by Charcoal! From the moment we arrived we felt a warm welcome from the hostess and the owner. Our waitress, Stephanie, was attentive, knowledgeable and very sweet. From the cocktails to the meat, cheese, vegetables and entrees, everything was impeccable! Fresh and delicious! The portions were very generous so I ended up having left overs which were just as delicious the next day. I can’t wait until brunch starts. Definitely recommending Charcoal to anyone who appreciates great food and an awesome dining experience! More...

We had the most amazing experience in this restaurant. From the moment we called to arrange our last minute reservation for quite a few people, we were treated with kindness and high-level customer service. Our table was beautifully decorated and arranged by the entrance of the restaurant. The service was fast, accurate, and accommodations were provided without hesitation by our amazing waitress and co-manager. Overall outstanding service, couldn’t have had a better Birthday. Thank you ! More...

Great food! It was the first time I had dined there. I was there for a special dinner, and event though the food had to come out at the same time for a group of about 30, it was delicious and well-served. The table appointments were also lovely, and I liked the theme color for the dinner -- purple. Purple cabbage, purple potatoes, etc.... More...

We have been to Charcoal for drinks a few times, as they have the best selection in the yard. But we recently sat down for dinner for the first time. Food, service, and atmosphere was great for our rowdy group. Our server was super helpful and definitely made our evening great. I will surely be back for dinner.The bar needs a little improvement. The selection is great, but the cocktails are mediocre. Every cocktail I've had there is watery and not sprit-forward. Our dinner party, consisting of mostly bartenders, we wanted to get behind that bar to give some tips ;) More...

The space alone is an experience. Definitely great for large groups or an special date. The food is beyond expectations, especially the grilled veggies. Everything was delicious. We had a bachelorette party there and everyone was satisfied. The servers were amazing as well and very cute bartenders! More...

A very nice addition to the Wynwood area. The atmosphere is fantastic and very cozy. It’s perfect for large groups, seating outside, or even in the smaller inside area they have. Prices are a little high, but the quality of the food is great. A little disappointed with the extremely few options for vegans, they should definitely get a little more creative in this department. Drinks are great and the bar is very cool. Check it out next time you’re in town. More...

Great food and drinks. Mainly outdoor with some indoor areas. Ambiance is different that the usual, I think they used containers in different ways to create spaces. Very well done. Great place for dinner with friends or couple. If seating outside make sure you dress light as it may get very hot. More...

Pros: Service was outstanding, our waitress was kind, friendly, and knowledge. They are getting four stars because of the service we received. Otherwise it would be 3. We went on Wednesday and wine bottles were half off so we tried the Gamay and it was perfectly refreshing! I ordered the beet salad and hubby had the burger. The beet salad is deconstructed, delicious but the name is kind of deceiving. The flavors were all there, but I wanted more greens. Hubby said his burger was okay, it was a bit too greasy for him and he only ate half of it. Also the burger brings 3 measly potato wedges and a small side salad. Three potato wedges for the price? That was very disappointing. The coffee and chocolate cake were awesome. Cons: We were disappointed at the serving sizes. The flavors didn't knock it out of the park either.Will return for happy hour and charcuterie selections. More...

We hosted a dinner here for a large corporate event and my group had a wonderful time. Getting good food when you're catering for 80+ people can be a challenge, their family style dining was a huge hit and the menu offered had a great variety to cater for all tastes and truly amazing. The staff were welcoming and looked after our large group flawlessly. I can't recommend this spot highly enough, whether you're traveling solo/family or organizing a business event and want something other than a beach experience, this is a must. More...

I'm a sucker for outdoor restaurants even though Miami can get brutally humid. With that said, Charcoal is worth braving that humidity -- the food is delicious. I'm in love with their mac and cheese and seafood, and the drinks are reasonably priced and stiff. The place can get expensive, though, so people on a budget might want to try somewhere else in the Yard. However, you really do get what you pay for and the premium is worth it for that warm, fuzzy feeling after a good meal. More...

Visited Charcaol for brunch on an early Sunday morning... Charcoal is located right next-door to and attached to Wynwood Yard. Great atmosphere and chic decor. There is seating available outside and inside one of the shipping containers. There is potential for 5 stars here but the food just didn't cut it. Skip the swede; it was bland and not a filling dish. The french toast and belgium waffles were a stark contrast to the swede, both filling and tasty. You will want to share the french toast with the table- it's a huge portion!I'll defintely return at some point to try some of their char-grilled menu items which I assume will be much more well executed and flavorful.

Wynwood Yard's funky, urban garden is home to Charcoal - an equally funky, but amazing - hidden gem. The food is - in a few words: artisan, grilled, fresh. The vibe is charming and built with sustainability and economy in mind. Think: repurposed shipping containers, mosaics made of flagstones, and edible greenery. Charcoal is casual, but sophisticated, boasting both indoor and outdoor seating for a laidback evening with friends, or a romantic evening tucked into the bar. More...

Charcoal Garden Bar and Kitchen Okay honestly, I discovered this gem somewhat by accident last Friday night when I was leaving O-Cinema in Wynwood. In the mist of all of the action--activity in Wynwood Yards, I spotted an inviting and fascinating spot! A fairly new Restaurant Charcoal in the trendy, eclectic and creative Wynwood area of Miami. So I'll start with the setting since that' is what first got my attention, it's - super creative and original-a series of interconnecting shipping containers .in a patio setting . Container (if you want to call it that. #1 was the bar--which is where I spent most of my time --b/c the bar tender was super friendly, very creative and sociable. There is . a charming dining room and dining area. At the owner recommendation I tried the scallops - they were awesome, and I'm a New England girl so I know my scallops.. and they were amazing. . Charcoal is the type of place that's alluring and attractive for the solo guest/patron me.. if you want a place cool, up-to-date, chic with a nice vibe, friendly staff, great food and great drinks, so good that not even a rainstorm could cause me to leave. PS. Love the Owner's Platinum Print Photos in the restaurant.. More...

Best octopus outside of Spain. The service was delightful; everyone was so relaxed but efficient. The branzino was perfection and I venture to say the white fish was better than a Jewish deli's. All the spices and garnishes were exquisite and I believe all from their own garden! I regret not ordering dessert but after all the omega3 protein I couldn't possibly. Will definitely return to this cozy spot. More...

This spot is one of the best in Miami. The restaurant is based out of shipping containers, which instantly makes it cool. The cuisine is based on whatever they can get locally fresh - which means everything in the menu is fresh, grown here, and amazing . We had the daily fish & octopus which come with a side salad and the fish dip. All of them were delicious. We also had a bottle of Malbec. Everything from the service (our waitress was this young girl, Veronica), the vibe, the location to the food was on point. This restaurant is based on a truly innovative concept and it definitely lends itself for a different "outdoors" restaurant. Will be coming back to try other items on the menu. More...

I really love this place. I'm not sure if it's the vibe, Wynwood, service, or the food, but putting all of those elements together, I know I'm going to go back. Charcoal Garden Bar & Grill is adjacent to the heart of Wynwood Yard, and technically one in the same. It has a pop-up restaurant feel where most of the seating is outdoors, but they have a small enclosed (and air conditioned!) shipping container turned dining room. The menu has a lot of seafood options, but also makes sure to have the core meat courses for the carnivores out there. While there aren't that many vegetarian entrees, there are a lot of sides that you can order that are veg friendly as a substitute. The food tastes delicious. We ordered a meat plate and a cheese plate, which were amazing. My only wish is that they offered a board where you could mix and match between the two b/c selecting 3 meats was $15. If you wanted cheese to accompany that, you're already at $30 for charcuterie alone. However, it is a lot of food and could easily be a meal substitute for two people. We also tried the scallops, and they're cooked in a no-frills, mini cast iron skillet. They were a little underdone, but no complaints. Keep in mind that the entrees don't come with any additional sides or veggies. For instance, the scallops were 5 pieces, but with nothing else with them. Service was spot on, and the overall ambiance was fun, light, and casual. Perfect spot for a dinner with friends, family, or significant other. More...
