About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
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."

    Sushi was way over priced and there wasn’t anything special about the rolls. You’d think that for $25-30 per roll they would be really good. Nothing to write home about. Server was not attentive, didn’t check in on us, and I had to get up to place an order because she was no where to be found. Vibe and ambiance is great - but won’t be returning

    the service was friendly, efficient. the hostess was very welcoming, checked on us multiple times during dinner. the food was exceptional. the key is knowing what to order, varied menu, different from other sushi restaurants.

    Haphazard and overpriced We were two and sat at the bar. Comfortable seating but no view of the sushi making as is typical. Service was haphazard as there was delays and they came when asked so I suspect they forgot. The hot stone waygu was delicious. The coconut shrimp was dry, over cooked. The maki was just okay. We were there for a birthday which they did not acknowledge.

    Make sure you know what time they close because approximately one hour into eating and we had just gotten the food and the server informed us that the kitchen was closing. It was last call at 8:30 PM on a Monday night. Perhaps it would help if they stopped taking reservations at an earlier time to prevent this kind of rushed eating atmosphere
