The cultured community of Venice Beach that lies just south of Santa Monica has once again become the talk of tinseltown. LaLa land locals are ditching the celeb hot spots to immerse themselves in Venice's organic hipster vibe to dine.

Don't be deceived by the laid back locale, reservations are absolutely required in advance: We are, in fact, still in LA.
