I had dinner at the Venice Whaler and really enjoyed the experience. The food was good, and the service was friendly and attentive. We started with the calamari for appetizers — fresh and nicely cooked. For mains, I had the cod fish …

I had a great experience here! I ordered the seafood plate and everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. The drinks were amazing too — especially the cocktails, really well balanced and not watered down at all. …

Awesome staff and great atmosphere! The oysters and mussels were incredibly fresh—highly recommend both. It’s the perfect spot to watch football while enjoying music right on the beach. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.

One of my favorite places to visit after taking my dogs to the beach is the Venezuela. They have quality bar bites great service and of course, a beautiful view sitting right near the Venice pier. Highly recommend checking this place out.

Sadly, this was a huge disappointment. The fish and chips looked promising but they were both crispy and dry not in a good way. Part of the fish was actually raw and hard inside which makes me think it was fried straight from frozen. Definitely not worth it.

The Venice Whaler is highly recommended! You'll be welcomed by friendly staff in a fantastic Venice Beach setting, and the food is simply delicious. Must have, must seen!!!

I visited with my parents from the East Coast, and we had a wonderful time. The food was excellent, and being right by the beach made it perfect for a nice walk. The clam chowder and buffalo wings were especially delicious. Thank you for giving us such a great memory for our first trip to the West Coast.
