We really enjoyed Venice for lunch and think it's better for lunch than dinner. The restaurant is small, and seating is tightly packed, for someone tall like me, I could have used more room. They have salads ( nice and large), rice bowls, flat breads and other items good for lunch. The food all very healthy, filling and tasty.
The crowd was a mix of trendy musicians, yoga goers and convention center participants. The staff was nice and the decor a mix of Venice beach and French county chic. Go early, because once events and yoga lets out by noon, it can be packed by 12:15pm. Very cool vibe and I recommend.
