A great breakfast & brunch find at Venice Beach - Outstanding, varied menu - try the Arizona Benedict on sweet corn bread with avocados and house-made hollandaise sauce, or the chicken and waffles! Fresh and flavorful! Exceptional service and fun place for outdoor breakfast.

My fiancé and I were seated, we are black. Two older ladies were seated after us but were acknowledged and placed their order before ours. The servers and bartender walked passed us several times without acknowledging us. After sitting for a while with our heads up and menus down without so much as a head nod. We walked out and went to the bar next door. Ironically, the bartender from Mercedes Grill walked in, saw us. It appeared he didn’t care we left feeling disappointed. We will never go back! Perhaps we were never welcome to begin with!

A beautiful sunny Saturday just asks for a pleasant brunch by the beach. After a long walk by the canals and the Washington pier in the Marina we spontaneously decided on eating here. We were seated fairly quickly in the outdoor section, the server was friendly and happy to please. The menu has a nice selection of options and priced fairly. Food portions are respectful and well prepared. The politically correct omelette was really good and plumply stuffed, the pancakes were moist but the potatoes can use a little more seasoning and can be crispier and served hotter. We opted for pineapple mimosas and really enjoyed them. Overall sitting there, enjoying a meal, day drinking with nice company and people watching was a fun time.

We stayed 3 nights in Venice Beach and had 2 breakfasts in this wonderful place! The food was amazing but the service was above it! I'd really recommend this place and feel sorry that we didn't have our dinners in there.

I liked this place for years as a bar, but I finally ate here recently and enjoyed the Cuban fish n’ chips - which were very good regular fish n’ chips - not sure what was Cuban about them. Regardless, really good. People with me ordered different stuff, everyone seemed to be pretty happy with their orders. I always kinda liked this place for cocktails, as a break from the way busier elbow-to-elbow of places around it, the bartenders have the time make a cocktail (usually). So, in sum - cocktails and fish n’ chips, enjoy!

Mercedes personally takes care of me, my family and friends every time i come here. The service is amazing, food is always fresh. All the waitresses and waiters are personable and attentive - especially Sierra. Will on the bar is also great. I Always have the best time here. Thanks
Great food and great prices , it's by the beach, not much more to say. Love it the staff was great as well as the vibe

Great place to hang out during a long layover. Marcus was super helpful and held my large and in charge suitcase in his office so I didn't need to worry about it. Food was delicious and beer was refreshing. Excellent Venice Beach spot!

Holy Shit!!!! This is the best restaurant I've ever been too. Had absolutely outstanding service, the food was the best I've ever had, hands down. And the blended banana mojito really blew me away. The atmosphere of this place is very casual and absolutely lovely. Our server was Devan and he was AMAZINGGGGG. He was absolutely outstanding. Very fun to talk to and gave great recommendations. I would give this place 10 stars if I could.

Amazing experience! The food was fantastic! Had brunch-avocado toast and egg was delicious! We are visiting and the host offered ideas on other restaurants and places to see, which we greatly appreciated. Loved the atmosphere! Will be going back during this trip for sure!

This is a great dinner location in the Venice area! The actual restaurant is a bit small inside, and can become quite loud with the bar area. But the food was amazing. The tuna Pica alone would have me come back. The portions are quite large for the main dishes, and can be somewhat overwhelming. But each plate packs lots of flavor! If I’m ever in the area again, I definitely recommend this place!
