Venice, Los Angeles · restaurant
A block from the beach but blissfully free of boardwalk chaos, this Venice hideout feels like someone’s sunny surf shack that just happens to serve pristine seafood. Raw plates lean playful—Mexican heat here, Thai lime punch there—while buttery scallops and seared fish keep it classic. There’s also a burger that locals whisper about like it’s contraband, best tackled with a crisp glass of wine. The room is airy, casual, and beach-worn in the best way: sandy feet welcome, just don’t bring sand in the wine.
