Venus Spirits Cocktails & Kitchen | Westside

Venus is a reliably good experience. My burger was on the small side however, which was a little disappointing.

The food was excellent and innovative, with very good seasoning. The first dish, "beet carpaccio", was tiny, priced at something like $20. Total rip off. Then the 2nd course (this was restaurant week with a fixed menu) was really good and a large portion. The dessert was also very good. Overall it was way overpriced. The gin was amazing!

Amazing food. We love the atmosphere, too, although it can be a little loud. Overall, we had a great birthday celebration for our friend's 60th.

This was our first time to Venus and we were totally impressed with everything. My dinner which was a Thursday special was the biggest & best chicken parmigiana ever. We will definitely return.

The food and drinks were great as usual. Service left a bit to be desired, but it was a mellow weekday so we didn't feel rushed and still enjoyed our dinner

Expensive, but dining out now is always expensive which is sad. Everything was good, not great, the server was particularly nice but busy.

This is our favorite neighborhood restaurant. The food is consistently good as are the cocktails!

restaurant basically empty at 5:30 we came for happy hour took 15 minutes to get a waitress yo make eye contact 25 to get cocktails frustrated by now smash burgers disappointing

My husbands burger was raw inside and the waitress took 20 minutes to bring out drinks. The drinks were a beer and a pre mixed cocktail so there was no mixing/bartender needed.

Venus NEVER disappoints. Great food and drinks. Excellent service. First time we sat outside with our dogs. It was wonderful. Thank you Venus for the consistency and comfort.

We really enjoyed the mole bbq sauce on the ribs and the fried chicken was good but maybe a bit over fried and too hot but still crispy and tasty. Hush puppy was grand! The chocolate torte was actually so good it could have bumped it up to 5 stars. I would go back and have recommended it to friends.

Fantastic seasonal food and cocktails, as always. You can't go wrong with their fish tacos, ribs, and shrimp & grits! Good service, even though it was a very busy night. 

So grateful that Venus was able to accommodate our party after another restaurant reservation snafu. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. And no one batted an eye when my nonverbal, autistic son walked in, singing at the top of his lungs. Thank you Venus patrons and staff ❤️

The food has improved since last year. It was good then but now it's terrific! The bahn mi is exceptional as is the foccacio. Lovely cocktails and a casual, fun spot.

Food is great. Drinks are also delish. It was a bit loud, but that's probably normal. Ceasar salad with chicken was really filling. Brussel sprout and venus fries yummy! Love the gin.
