The Carbon Bar

Went for the chef's tasting menu which I was a great way to try a range of dishes. My personal highlights was the salmon, fried chicken and meat platter. The fried chicken was so tender and the brisket was very juicy. More of an upscale BBQ place but a great place for a treat. Good selection of cocktails and local beers too! We were a big table and the staff were fantastic even on a busy Saturday night!

I recommended this restaurant for my friends birthday. I had come here years ago and had a great experience but not so much this time. We had a few issues with reservations. Once booked, we called back to ask about our reservation and we were told it was never booked. To be honest, not a big deal. They accommodated us in the end. The issue was the service. Our server did not seem happy to serve us and was always in a rush to leave. Before we would finish our order or any request, she would walk off mid sentence. It honestly just wasn’t the greatest. Pretty disappointing as service is a huge part of the experience. Aside from that, the food is pretty good I can’t lie about that.

Service was fast and efficient. Decor was very modern and stylish had a very comfy relax feel. Drinks were on point. Food was great, the mix meat platter was alot of options and satisfied all cravings. Dessert was not bad as we picked the chef mixed choice, but was just enough for everyone to share after that stuffing meal.

Amazing dinner with my friends on carbon bar. My most favorite thing on the menu gonna be this deep fried cauliflower! They have a really good bbq stuff too. On top of this great food our server also really nice. Joanne is our server for the night!She recommended some stuff from the menu and also drinks that taste amazing. Her attentiveness is on point! Would love to come back again and try some more of their cocktails!

First time going and it was amazing! Everything was delicious and the quality of food was amazing! Everything was seasoned well. Tried the Chef's tasting menu and was 100% worth it, super filling. Definitely coming back! Service was impeccable as well, kudos team!

Definitely will be a hit if you like brisket. Salty, tender and flavourful. I loved the salad and fried chicken. The Korean cauliflower had a bit of heat and we loved it! The Ribs were tender but not too soft, they came off bone perfectly. Made our way through a few cocktails And they were thoughtfully curated and very delicious. We found the servers to be really attentive - everyone seemed to be caring for our table. We didn’t find it hard to flag someone down if needed. Large Queen street restaurant with no issues accommodating large groups. @linreviews on insta

Came here for some drinks and a catch up with old colleagues. We had a reservation and we're seated promptly - we went over our time limit by quite a bit and they were accommodating until another reservation came in. I had the pork tacos and they were delicious- i just wished it was three instead of two, that would have been the perfect combination. my colleague really enjoyed their food as well, they said the steak was cooked to the perfect consistency. One of my colleagues is a big bourbon drinker and was really happy to see the cart - hats off to the ops manager, he knows his stuff!

I enjoyed the Carbon bar. I had the BBQ platter and I definitely enjoyed it. As an apprentice of BBQ, I appreciate that the meat wasn't over salted. The smoke flavour was significant. Oddly enough, the bark on some of the meats was not. So if you love smokey flavour, then this is your BBQ spot. The fried chicken was way above average in my experience. The ribs where above average in my experience. The pulled pork was average in my experience. The sausage was dry and below average in my experience. The brisket was well cooked, juicy and enjoyable resulting in an above average eating experience in my experience. Would recommend!

Me and my 4 friends were in the area and decided to try Carbon Bar for the first time. First impressions: love the interior decor. Our server Joanne made some great recommendations I would come back to have. One of the appetizers that we shared was the KFC korean fried cauliflower, but next time, I'd get 2 plates for myself because they're that good. The Pulled Pork Tacos were stuffed and flavourful. She helped us gauge how many meat platters we should order and 3 was just perfect for our party. Meat was tender and the sides that we added like the mac n cheese paired really well together. For dessert, we ordered the Super Chocolate Praline Cake which was tasty and really rich. Although it was great alone, next time, I would order a scoop of vanilla ice cream with it just to balance it out. Joanne was super friendly and checked in on us just the right amount of times even though she had many other tables to take care of. All in all, great food and great service.

Lovely funky restaurant. Do make a reservation as it gets fully booked even in low season. Great ambience. Low lighting and super friendly and attentive staff. Food was great. They serve a meat platter for $38 and it's enough for 2 especially if you order appetizers. We went 2 nights in a row and thoroughly recommend this place. Good prices and good food. The staff are the stars of this place
