RVR, a refreshing addition to Venice, offers an exceptional dining experience. The restaurant, located in the former site of a ramen house, has maintained the tradition with its own unique touch. The food is excellent, with standout dishes such as sautéed fried rice with mushrooms, hand rolls, botarga salad, and ramen. The menu is diverse, with options for vegetarians, including sweet potatoes.
The service is warm and welcoming, with staff members taking the time to understand dietary restrictions and allergies. They are also accommodating to families, providing baby chairs and being understanding of the inevitable mess. The restaurant's casual, walkable location on Abbott Kinney adds to its charm, making it an ideal spot for lunch or dinner.
The weekend DJ sessions, where vinyl records are played and album covers displayed, create a unique and enjoyable atmosphere. The restaurant's commitment to quality and care is evident in every aspect, from the food to the service. With renowned chef Travis Lett behind the project, the culinary experience at RVR is outstanding.
