So I had been meaning to get to Venice ever since my girlfriend went without me while I was on exchange in Scotland. I really wasn't disappointed! Poke is getting more and more popular in MTL now and Venice is definitely one of the best options.
We went on a Sunday afternoon and had to wait for like 15min because we were a group of 6. The restaurant is pretty small inside so I can see this being an issue on very busy days. But the wait past by quickly partially because the manager was super kind and friendly and partially because we ordered cocktails...
out of the 4 cocktails we got, my favourite was, the Cali Ice Tea, which really refreshing and has a nice alcohol to ice tea balance.
To eat I split the the salmon and tuna Poke Bowls with my girlfriend and stole a couple of Edamame beans from my sister. If you have never had edamame it is an experience in itself but these are perhaps the best ones I have ever had. They had a sweet and spicy sauce on then that really made then to die for.
The Poke Bowls were both delicious, very decently portioned and a nice mix of different ingredients really made each one stand out from the other. Unlike other Poke restaurants you don't have many options at Venice, really only 3 but they two that we tried were both delicious and different which is a refreshing change from other poke restaurants where I feel like every dish is just a mix of the same ingredients and all end up tasting the same.
All in all I loved the experience, it is busy and the restaurant is small so the food did take some time but bring along good company and you will be fine!
