One of the owners, some grouchy Boomer guy, cussed at my kids. And then he threw me out for confronting him about it. The other one, a very understanding lady, is great FWIW.

Stopped in for my first time for brunch because I was really excited to have breakfast right near a golf course in a really tranquil setting. It’s attached to a large free parking lot, but it fills up quickly due to the popularity of the public course. The restaurant itself is quite large and they have plenty of indoor seating as well as covered outdoor seating which is where we sat. We had a great view of the practice green as well as one of the holes. Our server was very polite however they were out of power to part of the restaurant so they could not serve any warm drinks so sadly no coffee.
We started off with the Raspberry Cruffin and thought it was honestly fantastic. I would highly suggest ordering it if you see it there. It’s basically a croissant and muffin combined with raspberry sauce in the middle. For my meal, I chose the Eggs Benedicto which was a chorizo Eggs Benedict. I thought it was very good and I really enjoyed the side fruit. I also ordered a Greek Salad and thought it was pretty good although the portions were a little unbalanced. I wish there would’ve been more onion and a little more tomato. I would recommend it though if you like those flavors.
Overall, a really nice breakfast option in Venice and I do plan to give it another try in the near future.

We were pleasantly surprised when The Penmar opened. Other than meeting up with friends I won’t choose to dine here again. Food was decent when they opened not great but decent.
On my last several visits however the food quality has been very poor. Ordered a burger and when I looked at the patties they were the thin frozen style molded patties you get from a basic restaurant supply.
My son’s rice was old like it had been sitting in the warmer for days.
I just cannot in good appetite choose this restaurant when there are so many better options.
Service was slow and it wasn’t busy. I guess the attitude is they get business off the golf course and the events and just adequate works.

This is a review for the Sunset Sessions event only!
Immediately one of my favorite places in LA. I was told I would like it and I did. Cheap entry, good food trucks, and they have corkage in addition to bars.
Music was a little lackluster but I’m sure that varies with each session.
It’s all hot people so make sure you’re looking good and feeling good when you go. Cheers.

Nisandre found my ID. We were looking it for 40 minutes, and just before we left, he rushed it over to me. S tier customer service, give this guy a raise.

Live music on Fridays makes it absolutely impossible for people who live in the neighborhood to find parking WHERE THEY LIVE. It’s so disrespectful to the people that live here and very frustrating.

Went on a friday night and the music wasn’t good and they charged $17 for chicken tenders that tasted worse than Tyson’s

I've been golfing here a couple times a week and finally decided to have breakfast. The quevos rancheros was really good! They weren't the usual flat tortilla, they were like little bowls of corn flour.
Had the most amazing Engagement Party at The Penmar everything was seamless thanks to Christopher their event coordinator. First off the venue was perfect! I was worried about it being too cold or windy but we were able to have the heaters on and a wall tent down to keep the breeze out, the second we got hott I let Christopher know and we got the fresh air in and it was a beautiful day!
Do not hesitate if you are thinking about this place as a venue, Christopher worked with us to accommodate us on everything we wanted from having an open bar tab capped to having everything set up and even added in some nice table decor!
We had a guest list of about 50 people and we had more than enough room! Thank you to everyone who made this day so special for us!

Didn't eat here, but it has a great atmosphere and seems very popular.

Heaps of fun (sunset sessions and superbowl), amazing service - truly and the place was packed, good food and very good looking clientele. Some of the handsomest men I've ever seen. Singles get down there. Only 1 issue - not enough female toilets
