by Laura Ann Klein

8:30 PM Denver is becoming a mecca for great gourmet food. Your taste buds point to The Golden Triangle's new darling Charcoal where the straightforward menu of four dollar sign food at three dollar sign prices in a six dollar sign room. If you're a wine drinker, his list has something for everyone from the connoisseur to people like me who just like the taste of wine with their food.

Dining Out: Charcoal

Smokin' new spot has room to spare but delivers goods

By William Porter The Denver Post POSTED: 10/26/2011 01:00:00 AM MDT

Some restaurants arrive in a five-alarm blaze of hoopla, often hiding the fact that they offer more sparks than heat. Others come to the scene quiet as a struck match. But oh, the resulting glow.

Charcoal, a recent arrival in the Golden Triangle, falls squarely into the second category. Helmed by Aric Sandoval and Patrik Landberg, who run the front of the house and kitchen respectively, this restaurant already turns out superb food in a sleek room.

Table Talk for October 26, 2011

Go Now: Charcoal Restaurant

 

By: Shari Caudron: Table Talk

We championed chef Jens Patrik Landberg's cooking when he manned the burners at Satchel's Market in Park Hill. So when we heard he was opening Charcoal Restaurant in the Golden Triangle, we put it on our list to try. We paid a visit shortly after the September 26th opening, and we're pleased to report that Charcoal is a showcase for Landberg's talents.

The restaurant is warm and modern, with a chef's-view kitchen, a large open dining area, and an elegant glass wine wall separating the dining area from the inviting bar.

Denver's Charcoal Restaurant and Infinite Monkey Theorem: A hip combination

By Bronwyn Long Colorado Wine Examiner Posted December 17, 2011

Last Thursday, December 15, wine- and food-lovers were treated to the delicious pairings of Charcoal Restaurant's Sous Chef Josh Carmichael and The Infinite Monkey Theorem's winemaker Ben Parsons. Coming ten days before Christmas, the wine dinner served as a perfect reminder to consider Charcoal Restaurant in your Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve plans, and to pick up bottles of The Infinite Monkey Theorem (IMT) wines for your holiday table.

Charcoal owner Gary Sumihiro, Sous Chef Carmichael, and winemaker Parsons spent time visiting diners at their tables throughout the evening, answering questions about the wine, food, and newly opened restaurant. This was Charcoal's first wine dinner.

Sumihiro described the design of the restaurant as "wabi-sabi," or a Japanese concept that celebrates nature's imperfections. The space includes a vibrant open kitchen paired with light fixtures arranged deliberately in an imperfect pattern. An adega or temperature-controlled glass wine cellar separates the bar and restaurant space. The cooking technique uses Japanese charcoal, a high-heat, low-smoke method that sears meat and caramelizes vegetables beautifully. Pieces of charcoal are incorporated in the dining experience as flatware rests on each table.
