He knows the ins and outs of the whole menu. He described the dish meticulously. Ask for him when u get there. Started with their sourdough bread accompanied with cultured vermont butter 5 stars for this because it came very hot and the butter had sea salt flakes yumm Ordered Mexican Street Corn Ribs pickled chillies, brown butter, lime crema although the corn is yellow it tasted pretty sweet and the pickled chillies had some spicyness that I tasted. The brown butter I was expecting a melted brown butter but it is not ll there was much texture that I did not really love. The lime crema excellent i give this dish 4 stars Rye Radiatori bacon bolognese i felt that the smokyness of the bacon was too much of my liking, I was thinking of much more just a regular bacon flavor plus a bolognese sauce. Egg yolk I was hoping was the eggyolk that’s raw and wished I mixed into the pasta. arugula, parmigiano reggiano on top was conspicuous. If I would suggest to have the eggyolk raw on top and just mixed with the super pipping hot pasta. At lesst the pasta when it came to the table it was notably high temperature which is I love. 4 stars Roasted Pork Collar chinese BBQ glaze, it was not what I expected I thought it will be much more like marinated. I personally did not like the dish. I wished it was noted to the menu that there was sesame seed on top of the pickled cucumbers. It tasted five spiced I should have asked what was the pork collar marinated from. I ordered this one because I got curious since it’s pork collar knowing it could be very very tender. It was not at all. It was tough, even struggling slicing with a knife and a fork. In the menu printed it said it has ramp fried rice so I ordered it knowing it’s ramps(i just ordered because I was surprise there are still ramps during summer but no ramps on the dish at all). So they said they posted online that it was a snap pea fried rice (was disappointed lacking of flavor and taste. pickled cucumbers were not crunchy at all. They also did not printed that there was sesame seeds as garnish. I have a slight sesame seed allergy. The rice that they cook was not what I expected also I am expecting a Jasmine Rice for a fried rice. i am Filipino and I am Proud to say that I am a “Fried Rice Snob”. I did not like the texture of the rice it’s more like uncle ben’s rice. Fried rice should not be al dente: the scrambled egg is way too well done for my taste buds. I give this dish no star at all . I hardly ate it. Smash Burger BLT thick cut heirloom tomato, bibb lettuce, bacon mayonnaise, american cheese, served with fries. The rest of my table ordered just the plain Smash Burger At least the burger is ground short rib. That’s superb!! 5 stars Now onto the desserts Brioche Doughnuts cinnamon sugar, coffee caramel sauce 5 Stars to die for!! All 4 of us shared the 2 doughnuts THE BEST BRIOCHE doughnuts ever!!! If I come back here for dinner I would skip it and just order 4 brioche doughnuts. It’s hard to find one in the tri state area. Telling my server Logan last time I ate a brioche doughnuts was when I travelled to Maui, Hawaii. It came to the table pipping hot and freshly right off from the pot frying. With caramel sauce WOW!! 10 stars Polenta Budino chocolate mousse, walnuts, smoked salt one of a kind dessert, polenta mixed into a form of budino. Texture very smooth love the crunchyness from the walnuts and smoked salt wow different taste in my mouth. 4 stars because there was caramel My verdict: Service and Ambiance is exceptional!! Great sunset view so make sure to get ur reservation at 530pm Food i really like the rye radiatore(my personal pasta fave

Some portions are large so I recommend sharing with your party to experience and taste everything Charcoal has to offer. The Radiatori is always good as well as Brioche Doughnuts. Sometimes service is slow but use the time to appreciate the food.

We got the Brussels Caesar, corn beignets, kung pao cauliflower and the heirloom and peach salad to start. Brussels Caesar was the star but allwere phenomenal. Then we got the king salmon and the red pepper rigatoni. The salmon crispy skin was to die for and the rigatoniwas cooked perfectly. And of course for dessert we got the infamous dognut sundae and also the polenta budino. Drool and lickthe plate. Craig Laban better get here fast. Gem! I am already planning my next trip there.

It's a casual dining experience, but the food is anything but simple. We were a party of 9, and every dish we ordered cameout hot, with a beautiful presentation. Our taste buds were exploding at the table as we enjoyed every morsel. Dining atCharcoal was more than an exceptional food experience. It was fun and easy and a truly memorable family event. This quaintrestaurant has water views of the Delaware River, which is so lovely and relaxing. Our server was helpful, friendly and truly adelight. I highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to go back. It's a BYOB, so be sure to bring your own.
