The Charcoal Grill has been a Canberra institution for over 20 years and is still the best steak in town - wonderful wine list too.

Went for my girlfriends birthday and we had out byo bottle of wine taken away. Then when we ordered our steak we asked if we could substitute the jacket potatoes (that came with all steaks) for a side serve of salad or chips, and were told we would have to pay full price. This is a 250gm fillet at $43... More

We have been visiting the Charcoal for years and have never been disapointed with the food or service. The steaks are always top class, tender and cooked as you order. The vegetables are cooked just enough - still form and not boiled to death as some places do them. The portions are generous. The wine list is outstanding - try... More

Went here for my birthday, recently. Whilst the food is nice here, the menu needs a major overhaul. It's way back in the 80's. In fact, I felt I was in a time warp.

I went here with my family for my birthday because the steak is so good. Unfortunately one waiter spilled wine all over my dress and the other waiter got angry because she thought we made the spilled wine mess on the table which required us to be moved. When I contacted the manager a few days later there was no... More
