    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!

    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.

    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!

    Kassi Venice Beach, located on the roof top of the Erwin Hotel, will be the TOP of your day in Venice Beach! The food is as wonderful and as beautiful presented as the view! The dishes are meant to be shared the same way as the experience! If you're with a group of friends, a romantic date this or even alone to grab a bite and relax Kassi is the place in Venice to do it! The staff is superb, our server Sophia and floor Mgr. Gavin made us feel like long time friends. Take a day see the beach and enjoy this locals new discovery Kassi Venice Beach!

    View of Venice beach from our table!! Iconic SoCal view!!

    Wow!! One of the best rooftops!! Gorgeous views all around!! Great service!! The food and drinks were good, but not outstanding. Definitely worth it for the vibes and views and experience especially on a nice day!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

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

    There's valet parking next to the hotel however there's several $10 lots right behind closer to the beach. We literally walked 3 minutes from one of those lots to the hotel.

From the moment you walk in, you feel it: every single staff member, including the wonderful owner Orcun, pours their heart and soul into creating a truly special experience. The warmth, sincerity, and care are felt instantly. The service is simply outstanding -- attentive, professional, and incredibly kind. You are never just a customer here; you are a welcomed guest. Their knowledge of wine is remarkable. The team guides you through their beautiful wine selection with such passion and detail, it feels like being introduced to wine by true gourmet connoisseurs. And the food... out of this world. I adore Mediterranean cuisine, but this place takes it to another level. This is Mediterranean heaven. Every dish is a perfect harmony of taste, presentation, and soul. It's not just food -- it's art. Each plate feels thoughtfully designed, deeply flavorful, and made with love. United Bowl Nation is more than a restaurant -- it's an experience. A rare place where excellence, heart, and authenticity come together beautifully. I cannot recommend it enough. Thank you, Orcun, for reminding us that when food is made with love and served with heart, it becomes unforgettable. This place is a gift.

We came in during Happy Hour and ordered the Beef Cigar Rolls ($18.50), the Slow Roasted Beet Salad ($24.95), and a glass of red wine ($15.50). Those three items alone came out to $67 after tax, which made the rest of the experience even more disappointing. The woman at the front did not honor the Happy Hour price on the Beef Cigar Rolls, even though their sign clearly says Happy Hour is from 5-7pm, Wednesday through Sunday. The Beef Cigar Rolls themselves were just okay. The yogurt mint sauce was good, but the "wagyu" filling was fairly dry when you tasted it on its own. The Slow Roasted Beet Salad was especially disappointing for the $25 price. It was mostly a large pile of lettuce with dressing, raw cuts of cauliflower (not cauliflower rice as mentioned), and only a few beets -- with no carrots, even though they're listed on the menu. Another confusing part was the menus. They seem to have three different versions -- the website, the framed menu at the restaurant, and the printed paper menus -- and they don't match. Some Happy Hour items aren't listed on any menus, just the outdoor sign, and some items on the website aren't on the printed menu. Overall, maybe it was just an off day, but between the service and the food quality not matching the price, I wouldn't come back.
