    Banana Espresso Martini
    Shai R.

    This place is absolutely beautiful and in the perfect location; it definitely gives Tulum vibes. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite meet my expectations. We ordered the salmon skewers, rice, fries, teriyaki burger, banana espresso martini, and the matcha martini. The salmon wasn't fully cooked in my opinion and could have been grilled or seared a bit longer. The rice and burger were just okay, nothing particularly memorable. The fries, however, were delicious and seasoned perfectly. One positive was that the food came out very quickly. The service was decent overall, and our server did recommend a great drink option. Despite the mixed experience, I'd still consider giving this place another try.

    Just left from here less than an hr ago. Was very busy. Was packed outside and everywhere inside the restaurant. About 4-5 bartenders working. The service was alright. I had the Marine Layer. Thought it was happy hour but was told there's no happy hour on Fridays. The drink was $17 with tax, $18.65. It wasn't worth it at all. It was a nice looking drink tho. It tasted alright. Barley tasted any liquor.

    I wasn't too sure how good a restaurant on Venice beach would be just because I figured it would be all "hype" and not exactly quality. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The establishment nice, staff is friendly as well as helpful, and the food is good! I highlight recommend. It seems that it may turn into a late night spot later into the night, which seems fun. We were there for dinner so we didn't get to witness the late bight activities. Being that it's on Venice beach the prices are extremely fair. We opted for a ride share because parking can be a little tough especially with bigger vehicles.

    everything was soo yummy and the interior/aesthetic was so cozy. I would 110% go back I highly recommend the pork boa buns, garlic noodles, and rock shrimp! They also make the best espresso martini I ever had!

    Belles Beach House makes a really good first impression. A beautifully designed tiki-house concept without the rough edges most tiki-house-type establishments have (in my experience). So far, so good. I got the spicy tuna roll; my wife got the tuna avocado roll. Both were well-crafted with fresh ingredients. Very solid sushi rolls (although both were on the small side), but definitely not "wow" in terms of taste. The service was the key let-down and the reason for a 4-star (vs. 5-star) review. While the hostess sat us at our table promptly and we were given menus and water, it took some waving when literally no one came over to our table to take our order. The same was true when it came to paying the bill. Our waiter was friendly enough but didn't seem all that engaged. I could see myself returning to have an exotic cocktail at the bar, though.

    Good sushi rolls here at Belles! Fresh and delicious can't stop eating them! The restaurant almost feels like you're in Maui with the Hawaiian touch. It's definitely a good place to stop by for fresh sushi and sashimi. I'm sure the cocktails are great too.

    If you're looking for a spot that instantly puts you in island mode, this place nails it Just a short walk from the beach, the Hawaiian-inspired ambience alone makes it worth the visit--laid-back, breezy, and perfect for unwinding. The food definitely lives up to the vibes. Everything we ordered was satisfying. The rock shrimp was crispy and addictive, the tuna poke salad tasted fresh, and the teriyaki burger was just okay--nothing bad, but it didn't quite stand out compared to the other dishes. And of course, Tito's shots to top it all off for a birthday celebration. Between the atmosphere, great food, and beachside location, this is easily a spot I'd come back to again. Perfect for a casual hangout, date night, or just soaking in those aloha vibes.

    Espresso martini flight
    Bianca C.

    First timers. Came to LA for the weekend and found this spot on TikTok. Located walking distance from Venice beach. We sat on the patio right away and our server was nice and friendly. We ordered the items below *Avocado toast - 2/10 *Teriyaki burger w/ fries - 7/10 *crispy shrimp app - 3/10 *tuna crispy rice - 5/10 *poke bowl - 9/10 *espresso martini flight (2 coconut + 1 strawberry yuzu) - 5/10 Spent about $200 overall Overall ambiance of the indoor outdoor setup was nice. Service was great. However the food was mostly a miss. Loved the poke bowl but that was about it. Bathrooms are super dim but cute.

    Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Darlene D.

    First time here and the restaurant was cute and fully on theme, which made for a fun atmosphere. Most of the drinks were also delicious and surprisingly strong. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the food. I ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich with a side of fries (which were not included with the sandwich). The chicken was dry, the breading was burnt, and it was so tough that it became difficult to eat. It had a weird texture where it was stringy and hard. The fries, however, completely saved the meal. They were fresh, crispy, and paired perfectly with the truffle aioli.

    Cheesburger
    EJ J.

    Decided to take the boys to Venice beach for the first time and ended up grabbing lunch at Belles Beach House. First off there is a parking lot right across the street but if you want to stay for more than 3 hours, you're paying $35. Once we arrived we were seated outside on the patio and the area was nice and clean and it has like this tiki vibe to it. Our waitress was quick to take our order and gave some good suggestions on food. I decided on the kushi-yaki ponzu king salmon, the rock shrimp and some fries. I also went with the marine layer and everything was solid! I will say that their portions are small and the burger is also pretty small. My 6 year old son ordered a burger and it's was the perfect size for him. Oddly, I thought my oldest son's chicken nuggets was the highlight of everything. The chicken was nice and tender. Overall, it was really good and I would recommend it if you are in Venice. Also, note that everything is à la cart so French fries do not come with the sandwiches. I will be back to try the chicken sandwich even though my friend said it was a little dry. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros

    Steak (not always on the menu maybe?)
    Thuy Dan T.

    Definitely giving those Tulum, tropical vibes and very fitting being in Venice and close proximity to the beach. We came here for a group dinner of about 6, where we were seated on time and the staff was friendly. The cocktails are tasty - tiki-style, sweet-taste reminiscent. I got the pineapple one which was tasty. Glasses seemed a bit smaller with the ice ratio so drinks finish up quick! Ordered to eat everything family-style. We ordered the crispy rocket shrimp, spicy tuna crispy rice, miso maple salad, mochiko chicken nuggets. Everything tasted solid, maybe not something I've been craving again but it's good! A friend was craving lobster rolls and then to their surprise it was actually lobster sushi rolls, but it ended up being a highlight of the night. I would consider coming back for trying other sushi rolls!

    Chicken burger with pineapple
    Rami B.

    This place is a gem. Beautiful layout, whether you want with a cozy intimate meal inside or a more vibrant outdoor patio. The food selection is great, and it's hard to choose just one item, so I ordered 7! The chicken burger was succulent and juicy, pairs well with pineapple. The rock shrimp was amazing and the portions were generous. Try their sauteed green beans, the nuggets, or even the salmon sushi! I'm definitely coming back.

    Allie G.

    Before I start on how great our visit was I do need to emphasize the importance of making a reservation. They have quite the wait times however so worth it. We started with drinks and they were delicious as well as super cute! As for the food literally everything we ordered was superb! The poke bowl was fresh and good quality. The chicken sandwich had perfectly crunchy breading and the slaw was great. We also ordered kimchi pork belly buns, dumplings, sushi roll and truffle fries. Everything absolutely everything was on point. Highly recommend the dumplings; we got an extra order after devouring the first order lol service was great and although they were busy the food came out in a timely manner and our table was well attended to.

    How's the parking around Belle's?

    You need to park and pay in lots near by. We will take Uber next time.

    Yes, we were able to sit inside with our small dog.

    Do they have soy-free options?

    Are they open during holidays i.e. New Year's Eve?

    They just opened in fall 2021 and were open for NYE but I would advise you call for info & reservations.

    Are dogs allowed?

    No, not even if they are in a carrier (I tried). However, service dogs are allowed.

    Parking? Street or own parking lot?

    There is Street parking and a paid parking lot across the street. Looking forward !

    Is this place owned by the same people as Larry's? I'm asking as I had a bad experience at Larry's just before they closed down

    No, different owners.

    Is it kid friendly?

    Yes, took my kid - and dog - there. Probably daytime is best though and early evening.

    Do they allow dogs?

    Yes!

    Hi question. I am vaccinated and I have my vaccination card but I lost my iD. Will I need it to show it with my vaccination card? Or can I just show my vaccination card alone?

We checked in for our reservation at Scopa, and a manager came over to escort us to the bar through a locked door. He took our phones and gave us each a playing card to identify them for retrieval later. It was very dark inside, and at 6 pm, we were the first guests there. We were escorted to the bar where we sat down and were greeted by Oscar, our bartender. They have an extensive menu of interesting and rare spirits and champagne, which you can order with caviar. There's also about 20 cocktails for $25 each. Boyfriend wanted bourbon, and Oscar gave him a variety of 3 bourbons for a total of 2 ounces. These bourbons were very high proof, 90+ and cask strength. Definitely for sipping only. For a second round, Oscar suggested a bourbon we have never heard of: Elmer T. Lee! I ordered two cocktails: a Jungle drink with rum and pineapple, and a Singapore Sling, served in a gorgeous red paisley vintage glass, with an orchid flower and pink curlicue straw. Oscar introduced us to their collection of very cool tiki glasses. My favorite was the vintage elephant one, and it was my drinking buddy during our fun visit. Oscar is very knowledgeable and friendly and it was a delight chatting with him. His manager, Steve, has curated a great retro playlist of music, with tunes from the 60s and 70s (and probably earlier than that). I think I found one of his playlists on Spotify. As noted, the bar is small with 6 barstools at the bar, two couches and a table with chairs. Everything is mid-century modern, and you feel like you've been transported back in time. The staff kept track of time and coordinated with Scopa for our 7:30 pm dinner reservation, escorting us back to the restaurant and giving us back our phones. We had a wonderful time, and we will definitely be back. This is an expensive, high-end cocktail experience, perfect for special occasions or a luxe evening out.

Right away, I thought of Alex and Olivia at Joliet Cafe. I've enjoyed Joliet Cafe for years-- whether I've come by in the day to get delicious coffee, or enjoyed the restaurant on a romantic night out with the wife - the food is always outstanding. Alex is truly a masterful chef! So just a couple of weeks before Easter, I reached out with this idea. Not only was he open to it, but he took the time to understand the vision and bring it to life. On the day of, Alex arrived early and prepared a beautiful, abundant "feast" that fit the message perfectly. It didn't just look incredible--it tasted amazing. After the service, we placed the charcuterie next to our lunch table, and it was gone quickly! So many people commented on how delicious and well-presented everything was. I share all this to say: Alex's professionalism, creativity, skill, and flexibility make him an incredible choice for charcuterie boards, catering, or any culinary service. He truly delivers--and you will not be disappointed. Thank you again for helping make Easter such a meaningful and special day!

I loved the floral flavor of the Sakura matcha, and the wrap was fresh and flavorful. This is a great spot to grab a quick bite and coffee from, and I would totally come back if I'm in the area.
