Cafe Venice Restaurant And Bar

This is the perfect place for lunch on W Venice Ave! The Turkey Sandwich was massive, but delicious, especially with the herbed mayo. I love the fact that you can upgrade your side to a side salad as well; it won't be just any old piece of iceberg layingaround either! I had the refreshing and flavorful Fresh Spinach Salad as my side and loved everything about it, from the goatcheese to the orange vinaigrette. Thank you, Cafe Venice, for a wonderful meal! PS: Shout out to Katie (I hope I remembered hername correctly! , my table's server. She was sweet and efficient, a perfect waitress!

We ate in the lovely breezeway. NOT good! It was SO loud and noisy between the loud music and the traffic sitting at the light we couldn 't talk. Kale salad and butternut squash were awesome! The green beans were boring. The salmon was not the best I 'vehad there. We needed a chain saw to get through the dried up special bread pudding. Brussel sprouts and Stuffed flounderdinner was good. Service wasn 't great but they offered a free dessert which shows they care. I understand things happen and lackof help is pressure.

There were 7 of us that dined for lunch this visit. My first time to this restaurant. Chad, our waiter did a fine job taking care of all of us. I had the pastrami melt with fries. They put pickles on which is different, but tasty. My Dad had the quichewith lobster bisque soup. Both excellent. Found out one of our group is an author. His book was brought for us to pass aroundand read. It can be found on Amazon. Highly recommend Cafe Venice.

Very disappointed. My wife and I walked into a brand new 1980s decor, furnished in a mishmash of incongruent colors, patterns and materials. Visually it made no sense. We understand the original location across the street had some charm. The new space iscavernous, cold and austere. Loud pop music played through the ceiling speakers. We almost turned to leave but figured the foodmust be great, ratings being excellent. We should have followed our instincts. My wife ordered grilled romaine salad. Itconsisted of a single head of romaine, warmed briefly on a grill, not grilled. The balsamic dressing was dumped all over it in agoopy mess. It quickly became a sticky, limp pile of lettuce. After a few bites she gave up. I ordered the ?Chef?s Special? subsandwich. It consisted of a huge amount of stacked meats between a too small, over baked roll. Impossible to eat due to it?ssize and rock hard roll, I had to chew off some of the meat and cheese from the edges before it fell apart. We were shocked bythe experience. The chef has apparently no concept for balance and presentation. Cannot recommend Cafe Venice and will notreturn.

We hosted an event for our team here and had a fantastic experience! The food was delicious and the service could not have been better. Robert who was taking care of us that evening was attentive, anticipated our needs and wore a welcoming smile the entireevening. Thank you for making this event so fun and easy!
