This place is a scam.. the 5 star review system is flawed. Empty restaurant on a Saturday night should have been a red flag. Food was horrible and skirt steak was so bland and chewy they refused to take responsibility for the poor quality. No wonder the karaoke parties ordered Uber eats.

This restaurant is definitely a place I would come for a special occasion due to the price of the plates but luckily they were part of dinela and me and my friends were able to experience dishes we enjoyed. The salmon lettuce wraps were good but I wished there was 3 wraps instead of 2, the skirt steak was very flavorable due to the sauce they drizzle over and the brussel sprouts hit the spot with the chili mayo. The cookie skillet was small but still very enjoyable. I am interested in coming back due to the private karaoke rooms they have, it looks very fun.

We had dinner at The Venue before a concert at the Wiltern. The vibe was awesome, the server was personable, helpful, and fun. They sat us at a large round table that had these huge leather chairs that spun around. These chairs really kicked the experience up a notch. The food was delicious. We had all shared plates. I love it when a restaurant has a nice balance of healthier lighter options and more decedent rich options. I loved the sheshito peppers, brussel sprouts, ceviche, pork ribs. The salmon lettuce cups and grilled vegan caesar salad were light and nice. The boys devoured the fries. Their drinks are wonderful too! Not “too sweet” and unique flavor pairings. Highly recommend! Want to come back for karaoke too!

Amazing service, food over priced but decent/good tasting. $13 Voss water was a kick in the dick. We only had dinner and did not do the singing rooms.

It's an interesting restaurant, but a bit difficult to find and kind of in a basement area far from parking.
