    Although we had a reservation we had to wait for half an hour to get our table. Lunch came super late and not hot enough. Great place but too much waiting when the weather is nice.

    Good food, but slow service due to lack of staff. Just a person dealing with 40+ people is bad

    We arrived a few minutes early for our reservation and despite the restaurant being very busy we had only a short wait. Service was excellent as was the food. I highly recommend and will return.

    Great service from a professional and friendly waiter. Lovely food. The music inside the restaurant was nice and too loud. The TV was off which was great!

    The food was unwell prepared and the staff only wanted to close the restaurant. It was Friday and they had literally 7 or 8 costumers

    Starting with the cocktails, which not only taste great, but have an amazing presentation, to the perfectly cooked Tomahawk steak and all around professionalism from all the staff. It’s one of my favorite places for a relaxing top tier meal! 👍👍👍

    My second time at Charkoal and both times enjoyed great service and food. First time very busy second time not. Marco and his fellow waiters made for a wonderful evening that exceeded my expectations. Will return again when I am in the area.

    Cannot recommend at all. Better stay away! Went there with a group of 16 people. Tuna steak was completely dry, some wrong items were brought but never cancelled from the bill leaving a gap of nearly 80€. Service and owner were completely unwilling to find a solution for the wrong amount and got aggressive. At the end we (even though we paid the falsely billed amount) the server spit towards us.

    The restaurant was very busy, and severely understaffed. We were seated for 45 minutes before our drink order was taken, and continually had to ask several times for any service. I hope this was a glitch due to them being exceptionally busy as the food was good. Sadly, by the time our order was taken most of the day’s specials had run out. We will go back on a less busy day, and I hope that the restaurant hires more staff to cope as the season gets underway.

    Pretty nice place for an easy going lunch. Although a little overpriced, it was a good experience. Have to give a shoutout to the staff ????????

    The food was ok. Not bad, but not outstanding. Service was very good. The six meals came out at the same time which was nice.

    Lovely restaurant. Excellent food. Neat amd clean. Service was little too fast… we got our mains before finishing starters. I can ecommend octopus, sea bream and cheesecake for dessert. .

    Lovely place at the Marina to go with family and friends. I've had lunch, cocktails and dinner in multiple occasions and every time it was very good.

    We have been 3 times to Charkoal, and whilst the food is good, the service has been getting worse and worse to a point we will not return again. Rude employees, everything takes insanely too long to be delivered, even with an empty restaurant, one of the staff left us a paper to write our order, and just left, 20 mins apart between the first dish being served and the last for a group of 6 with sinilar orders, or answering in an inappropriate manner to simple questions about the menu. Food being tasty alone doesn't matter if we do not feel welcome and well treated.

    Food is amazing, views of the harbour. Unfortunately I find it a bit pricey considering the portions you receive.
