Omakase Cocktails 12/10 Service We reserved the Omakase experience for 5:30 on a Friday evening. The restaurant was just opening and we were met at the front by John who was a hilarious and very welcoming host. As the restaurant was fairly empty, he gave us our pick of table and recommended a nice, quiet, romantic spot outside. Once seated, Mila, our server brought us cocktails which were amazing. We started with the Kyoto Sour and the Flor Picante both of which were refreshing. Mila explained that if you make reservations for omakase, the chefs will shop for fresh ingredients that day and create new special dishes for the dinner service. The omakase is constantly changing as well which makes every experience unique. Over the next three and half hours we had a magical experience with delicious small plates and the best service I’ve had at any restaurant. Mila brought us each course and then described everything we were about to try. She was never far away and often would stop to chat with us and answer questions about the dishes. The highlights were the toro, scallop crudo, truffle pasta and escolar sashimi. We ended the night with a raspberry sorbet and a chocolate truffle ice cream. Mila also brought us champagne as we were celebrating my birthday. Overall, the three and a half hour omakase was perfect and the service was the best we’ve had. Big shout out to Mila & John for making the night one to remember! I would 100% recommend The Venue!
It’s a been a while since I’ve been here, maybe a decade. Still just as great as I remember. I’m a bit surprised about the lower rating but maybe it’s bc they got stuck at the outdoor patio in the cold. Overall, all the sushi is creative with a mix of sauces and aiolis. The Fish n Chips was different but the addition of jalapenos added that spice that you aren’t used to with Japanese food. My only complaint they don’t have Asahi. Idk but I’m going back, hopefully sooner than next decade.
Had a wonderful experience. My husband and I did the Omakase and it was absolutely amazing! Everything was so fresh! Our server was Mila and she was so friendly and welcoming! Explained everything to us as it was brought out. We were there for about 2 and a half hours and it was nothing but outstanding! Chefs were amazing! The atmosphere was lovely. The hostess was on it. We will definitely be back and will recommend to everyone!
The best sushi and sashimi we’ve ever had. High quality seafood and delicious. Great service. A bit pricey but worth. If you’re visiting Palm Desert, this is a must stop dinning place. Highly recommended.
Excellent sushi bar, restaurant, staff, the food. The Venue, has outdoor & indoor seating, we sat at the sushi bar, the chef was amazing & our waitress was just as amazing. The food was delicious a great spin on sushi. New age style rolls. The fish was so fresh & they have white tuna. A delicacy served by few restaurants. Ty we will be back.
had an amazing dinner with my family here, ordered all the nigiri options on the social hour menu, miso soup, toro sashimi, bao buns, and their limited edition cocktail “autumn’s embrace”. We loved everything. Our server Mila was incredible, super attentive, kind and helpful. I would 100% come back just for her service.
