    My friend and I who are birthday twins, down the same birth year convinced me to come here, and so happy I did!! We were seated on the patio right against the edge over looking the amazing view and beach. Food and drinks were amazing. The service was great. Park downstairs in the building, valet is $10 and convenient! The valet guys are so sweet as is the staff in the lobby greeting you to come in. Love the music they play there and standing in the elevator the music starts off the vibe to a great experience. Make sure you make reservations. We got in since it was still early in the day but it is a new place and will get busy!

    This spot has incredible views of Venice Beach and is a fun, party vibe. The drinks are solid and the food is better than expected. I'd come back again with a group!

    We came here for a work event, and I was surprisingly impressed with the food here. Usually for a place that has good vibes, good views, you don't really expect the food to be good either, but it actually was!. My favorite bites were the zucchini fries, the flatbread, the chicken skewer, and the taramasalata dip. Service is really great as well, they come and check in on your often!

    Came here with a cousin who I hadn't seen in a few years. You can never really go wrong coming to this rooftop, regardless of what name it's currently under. If you're into rooftops,l particularly those that oversee large bodies of water, this cannot be beat. I closed things out with a nice bottle of still water and cuz ordered a few alcoholic drinks. And while we just happened to pop in without a reservation, there was ample room to stand around the perimeter of the flowery garden like thing in the middle. Even when this location was previously known as the High Lounge, or High Lounge Rooftop, they would often feature DJs particularly when the weather was great outside. You would think with the Coachella music festival going on that there would have been ample seats and tons of space to move around, but that was not the case. This place was pretty packed! All in all, another solid outing at this particular rooftop. What staff they did have seem to be buzzing around like super busy bees, tending mostly to those seated with reservation, which is understandable. Without being seated via reservation you'll have to head straight to the bar, minimizing any significant interaction with the staff as a whole, except of course the bartender himself. I would place this rooftop in a top five with regards to So Cal rooftops, and #1 if water is your thing.

    Love it here. The music, scenery and environment feel like the French Riviera. Great drinks. Will try their food next time. Definitely plan to be back.

    March 5, 2026 | Venice Beach | Kassi is a restaurant with great views, delicious Greek food, and friendly customer service! Ora King Salmon | Shared | I had been to Kassi before, because of an event, and I knew right away that I would order the Salmon Skewer again, as it was delicious, as well as flavorful! Seasoned with perfection, as well as a delicious lemon-y flavor! Greek Fries | Shared | Thick & flavorful, alongside lemon aioli, za'atar & thyme! We both enjoyed the lemon-y flavor, as it stood out immensely! Zucchini Chips | Shared | I highly recommend, flavor upon flavor, alongside feta & za'atar! Yum! Customer Service | Incredibly attentive, as both of our servers, one in training, checked on our table often! Both were friendly and conversation flowed easily! Though it wasn't cold, it was quite windy, so they offered us each a blanket to keep warm! Super sweet! We were both grateful for the blankets! Upon Arrival | My sister-in-law landed at LAX, had eaten on her flight, but we both decided on a light bite to eat at Kassi, which is on Venice Beach! She dropped off her luggage at my place, and we proceeded to walk up the Venice Boardwalk! I checked online for reservations, and there was only one left, so we just took a chance! We took the elevator to the rooftop and we were seated immediately! Reservations | I highly recommend, as this place can get very busy, as it was tonight, even though it was quite windy! There was a private party, as well as numerous tables filled with excitable guests! Scenery | I had been to the rooftop before when it was another name! The views are absolutely incredible, 360° views, including the oceanfront! Gorgeous at sunset, & spectacularly lit all around at night! Overall | Great customer service, incredible views, all around and memorable bites! I'm grateful that Kassi is near, as it was a great place to take my sister-in-law on her first night in town! Score!

    A great rooftop, great vibes, good sounds, and ven better drinks... I happened to not get flicks of that because I was in the moment, I also had the cucumbers 7.8 / 10 but after I added some more salt, 8.5 / 10 I believe the only drink I had was the Cadallac Marg 7.8 / 10 but going for the straight Ocho Repo did me better... also the Bottled Still of Aqua Panna. Our waiter was so cool by the way! She is actually the reason for the high rating and I wish I could remember her name right now.

    Went here for drinks before dinner on Valentine's Day and it was very popular! Probably because it has a great view of the sunset & ocean. We enjoyed our drinks but be sure to wear a coat because it did get pretty windy and chilly up there! I believe the servers will bring you a blanket upon request though. I'd recommend this as a date spot or as a place to bring people visiting from out of town. The views are the best part, and the drinks were solid. My fiancé is very picky on espresso martinis as she only likes the ones with real espresso, and they passed the test.

    Make a reservation! We saw people being turned away at the door. A few things went well for us when we visited for our anniversary- the view, the gluten free fries (the server was very knowledgeable), and the drinks (good but not especially unique). What I DIDN'T anticipate was how loud it was and the party atmosphere. There was a DJ set up and we were initially seated right in front of the speakers. We were able to move, luckily. I don't know why I expected a quieter, lowkey (aka romantic) vibe on a rooftop bar in Venice- it certainly wasn't that. But it WAS fun and great people watching!

    The views during sunset are so magical- it feels as if you escaped Cali and are now in a foreign beach resort. The long passageway feels as if you're walking down a pier. I am glad we stopped by at 530pm it was a beautiful sunset. Staff was extremely friendly and attentive; I made reservations at 6pm on a Friday night. There was a DJ on set which was pretty cool this brought the overall experience and ambience as if it was a party in a beach club. As For the food it is Mediterranean food, we ordered the gem salad ( apples, pine nuts with a creamy sweet and sour dressing), asparagus; served with these creamy yellow / orange sauce, can't describe the taste but it was savory, we also ordered the beef sirloin and honey chx skewers, calamari (1/10 but wish it was a bigger serving size). The drinks were refreshing- I can't recall the names. The parking lots nearby was $20 I don't think the hotel had any valet for the restaurant so this one hurt.

    This was so much fun! An after dinner dessert. We went to this rooftop restaurant tonight after dinner. It was quite cold outside so they gave us blankets and then when some people under a heater left, they moved us to the outdoor heater area which was really nice! My husband got the "deconstructed baklava" which he said was really good. I didn't want anything because I was too full and a bit cold so I had a cup of hot tea which was perfect for a cold night. Everyone working there was so nice. We are glad we tried it and look forward to eating there again!

    For drinks Yes come here For $20 a drink it's good to impress someone for the one and done They have heat lamps and nice couches and stuff Come back for sunset if you can I'd recommend doing rsvp if you can and ask to get a good area You're paying for the vibe and view Drinks are solid I didn't feel skimmed

First off, this place is WAY bigger than it looks from the outside. If you're a beer lover, you'll be obsessed with the self-pour concept. They give you a wristband that you scan at the taps, pour as much or as little as you want, and it automatically tracks everything on your tab. Super easy and honestly pretty fun. I was also shocked by their happy hour, which runs until 7 PM. On the Westside, that feels almost unheard of these days. I heard they used to have a larger sushi menu, but even so, the carpaccio and sashimi were legitimately 10/10. And I'm saying that as someone who's extremely picky about sushi--like omakase-level picky. I was genuinely impressed. Food-wise, everything we ordered was GASSSS. The carnitas nachos, fried chicken, spicy miso ramen, and wings all hit. No notes. The host, Ka, was incredibly sweet and welcoming. One thing I'd recommend: if it's game night, order your food a little early. The place was absolutely packed for the Knicks game, so food took a bit longer to come out, but it was worth the wait. This is definitely going into my regular rotation. Great for catching games, grabbing drinks with girlfriends, meeting up with friends, bringing a date, or even flying solo. They have bar seating, and I even spotted someone working on a laptop, so I'm guessing they have Wi-Fi too. Can't wait to come back!

If this was the world's most authentic bowl of noodles -- like the delay was making fresh pasta or something -- he would have been thrilled and gobbled it down. But this was the hottest and most overcooked gruel. You can see in the picture the congealed situation. My pasta loving boy didn't want it. He was starving and didn't eat it. Not tasty. We were in the mood to celebrate. Disappointing!

When we arrived, the entrance was constantly blocked by the hostess and security chatting. One staff member told me to head to the bar to order, but security then acted like I was doing something wrong. A little communication between staff would go a long way. At the bar, I was skipped twice while waiting to order. When I pointed it out, the bartender told me to "hold on" while assisting a 3rd walk up after me. I asked if we could move to an open table with table service as there were many empty for ghe hour we had already been there and was told no because they were too busy. Fair enough, but that's exactly when management should be visible, coordinating staff and helping guests. Instead, when I spoke with a manager, the response was essentially that he was focused on the bar area. Good management oversees the entire operation, especially during peak periods. I was one of 5 people in our party who spent around $100 on food and drinks (apx $500 spent in total), yet the service was a mess. If it's self-service, that's fine...but make it clear and make it work. Instead, I was skipped at the bar while ordering, staff gave conflicting directions, and there was virtually no support once we had our food. We found ourselves constantly going back and forth to the bar for drinks, utensils, soy sauce, and anything else we needed. No one checked in, and getting help from staff or management was nearly impossible. The food was decent, but the customer experience wasn't. Venice Beach is always busy. This shouldn't come as a surprise. If you're going to market yourself as part of that vibrant community, you need the operational standards to match.

The restaurant was more busy than usual with soccer on, but there were several sizable tables open outside. We told the hostess we had a group of 5, and she said they couldn't seat us. We asked if we could put our names on a list and she said they don't do lists. We asked if there was an estimated timeline on a table, and she said no. So I asked if she was turning us away and she said they couldn't serve us. We walked maybe 12-15 feet down the sidewalk to clear the entrance a little confused, and tried to regroup on dinner. I then watched the same hostess seat 3 groups of 2 and a group of 6. They all got there and approached the table after us, and the restaurant does not take reservations. So I decided to walk back and ask the hostess why we weren't able to be seated. She started mumbling about the tables not being big enough. The group of 6 they sat was a group of 8 eventually and they scooted tables together for them - our group could fit at a four top. We mentioned that. She told us she had to "get special permission" from her manager to seat them, and I asked why we couldn't have been accommodated similarly. She got flustered when we asked if we could scoot tables together or just sit at a 4 top. We had driven 45 minutes to eat there, and there was plenty of space. She acted like we were asking for too much, and told us she couldn't help us the first time because we "walked away," even though we were dismissed and we were still right in front of her. She did not apologize. She was super weird and unaccommodating until a male in our group walked up to ask the same questions. Then we were seated. The restaurant was short staffed, which we did not mind. Watching the sunset is a great distraction. Plus our waitress (red hair - did not catch her name) was absolutely fantastic. There were multiple items that did not make it to our table, but the staff quickly removed them from the bill.
