About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Charming
Sushi & Whiskey

Chic. Modern. Sophisticated. But also casual and friendly. The Venue is the cool hot spot on El Paseo, popular with locals, out-of-town visitors and food critics who serve up rave reviews. The Venue is artful, from its sleek décor to the original, ever-evolving menu, enthusiastically created by owner/chef Engin Onural. "This is my art," he shares. "Each plate is a painting, but I use fish instead of paint."

    I always enjoy dining at Venue. The atmosphere is great, both indoors and outdoors. Their menu is very interesting and the flavors are bold. The servers are very attentive and pleasant.

    Great sushi. Out of short rib wagyu carpaccio and wagyu hot rock. That was a bummer as we wanted some meat and fish. Fish was really good. Nigiri was great.

    In my reservation request, I asked to not be seated near children because of having a hyper hearing disability. And lo and behold the table next to us had three rather loud kids. I know you can’t control this, but I did put the request in before hand and that impacted my experience
