    March 5, 2026 | Thursday | Salmon Skewer |Dinner w/Sister-in-Law in town! | Walked over via Venice Boardwalk!
    Shantelle S.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Amazing view and vibes - recommend making a reservation bc it gets packed, especially around golden hour. Drinks/food are pricey as expected but worth it for the vibes. Parking can be difficult in this area, the nearby lots will charge $10+ an hour. This is the perfect spot to bring your friends who are visiting LA!

    Loved the vibe at Kassi Beach House -- beautiful beach-style atmosphere, great cocktails, and delicious food. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view!

    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

    Starting at Kassi

    I actually lived here in Venice Beach for 3 1/2 years way back in my "single" days; and knew every nook and cranny from Playa Del Ray to the Venice pier. This was my playground at a time when a young man needed a playground! I always knew of the Hotel Erwin where the Kassi Rooftop is located but never ventured in? The (pretty terrific) people we were with on this Sunday afternoon lead us to the Erwin and subsequently to Kassi. WOW.........was all I could say when the elevator door opened and the view I could see was from Palos Verde to Malibu and from the San Gabriel Mountains to Catalina; yikes, was this breathtaking! This spot at Kassi is absolutely Southern California at its best. With a "Chill" DJ spinning music and the food and drinks being served, along with this magnificent view and magnificent weather (in February mind you) this transplanted Chicago boy is definitely thinking of moving back here?

    gorgeous view of the west side located on top of hotel Erwin! located amongst other popular bar hopping spots so the huge bar area seems like a popular night out destination. It is pretty cold after 6pm and there seemed to be no heat lamps, so bring a jacket. Made a reservation at 8pm on a Sunday- saw others get turned down for no reservation. The food was surprisingly amazing- got the refreshing watermelon salad, flatbread with taramasalata (2nd fav), crispy halloumi, salmon skewers (great but nothing special), and the table favorite lobster orzo (MUST have).

    Cali at its best! Great rooftop vibes with a beautiful view! Super spacious for grabbing food or just to enjoy drinks. The food is nothing to write home about but it was good. I really enjoyed that for my birthday they treated both my mom and I to champagne and I really appreciated that!

    Zucchini chips, ahi tuna crudo chip, & crispy halloumi.

    Beautiful rooftop in Venice with an incredible view. Great spot to bring out-of-towners! Food was tasty and our server was great.

    Parking-is it difficult and only hotel parking and expensive?

    They do have valet parking at the hotel but we never used them. We were able to find street parking on multiple days but be sure to read the signs. There are also other lots you can choose and metered parking

    A Beachside Find That Surprised Me in the Best Way I was…read morelooking for a vegan-friendly spot close to the beach in Marina del Rey for my friend and me -- and we found this gem. The energy was relaxed, the location couldn't be better, and the menu? Full of pleasant surprises. I ordered the vegan tacos, and they were everything. Fresh, flavorful, well-balanced -- the kind of meal that makes you feel light but full in the best way. You can tell they care about quality here, not just checking a plant-based box. The service was friendly, and the space felt calm and intentional. This was one of those unexpected finds that I'll absolutely be coming back to. If you're near Venice or Marina and want something vegan without sacrificing vibes -- this is it.

    The executive chef needs to rethink their choices. We ordered calamari which came out resembling…read moreonion rings and all I could think of was the infamous storyline in 2025 of kitchenS serving pork sphincters as calamari rings. It was these 'onion rings' only, no bodies/tentacles. The dish hit the table with a plastic ramekin of cocktail sauce, no sweet chili. The food runner had no idea what we were talking about when we pointed that out but said "sure I'll bring you more sauce." Which made us feel like we were asking for something "extra". We ordered 2 poke bowls with tuna. The tuna was high quality, but the rest of the dish fell apart. First - who uses long grain rice in a poke bowl? It's sushi rice or nothing. It was a bizarre choice and the rice was undercooked to make it worse. Second - once again, it came out unseasoned and without any sauces whatsoever. Your menu states it has ponzu, chili oil, and bang bang sauce on it. When we asked our server for some sauces because it was absolutely bland, we were brought soy sauce and chimichurri sauce (!?!?!?) So your kitchen needs an overhaul on its dishes and your service staff desperately needs to be retrained on how your dishes are presented - they never should've hit the table like that. The ambience is nice but a bit gritty and weathered. The host and serving staff were pleasant and quickly took care of our requests, but they felt like they shouldn't have needed to be requests in the first place if the dishes had just been executed correctly.
