Came back to test out their food this time and, we were not disappointed. I will start off by saying, if you're starving, this is probably not where you want to go. But if you want to go somewhere with a gorgeous view, cool vibes, friendly staff and really delicious, albeit lighter dishes, then this is the place to go. We really liked everything we got. Our drinks - Bloody Mary and Japanese Penicillin were delicious. What we ate: pulled flat bread - fresh and tasty. Tzatziki- very good. Greek salad - as good as it looks good on the pics . The spanakopita quesadilla - may have been my favorite. The lamb skewer - so tender and juicy. Our server, Max, was very cool. He was attentive and made recommendations when we asked. Overall a very cool place to come especially on a weekend. Next time we're going to come in the evening and experience the sunset vibes here. @KassiClub @YelpLA read more

Wow -- what an incredible rooftop spot! I'd heard about this place for a while, but I had no idea what a treat I was in for. Stunning 360° views of the ocean and city, beautifully designed seating areas, a lush green space in the center -- even if it's artificial, it still works. The chilled sparkling red wine was surprisingly good. The Cadillac margarita, on the other hand, fell a bit flat. Excellent spot for a date or drinks with friends! I bet sunset here is surreal. read more

HO-RRI-BLE service , the attitude of the employees is just stupid, who do they think they are???.... they treated us like if we are not on their HIGH level!!???.....I was never greeted or attended.....I can't make a review on food or drinks because we were never served....We left after 20 minutes of waiting for someone to at least offer water. read more

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). read more

Book a table to watch the sunset. Stayed at the Erwin Hotel for a birthday weekend getaway. The Kassi Rooftop Venice Beach is literally on the rooftop of the hotel. Make a reservation as the tables do fill up. I called and also walked up to reserve directly with the hostess on site to make a Saturday night reservation at seven to watch the sunset. Go for the views! So nice to wake up in the morning and enjoy the sun rising as the day wakes up in Venice Beach. Even more magical to watch the sunset with a 180° view from the rooftop. Although we had requested a table for two right next to the perimeter to enjoy an unobstructed view, one was not available when we arrived. However, once one opened, we just moved one table over to enjoy the views overlooking the beach. Service was very good. Suzy was so sweet. She made several recommendations as both the salmon and lamb skewers that we had planned to order were sold out by 7 PM. Ordered a nice spread of appetizers, a Greek salad, and beef skewers. Since we were staying at the hotel, we kept watching them bring up fresh vegetables every day. The tomatoes and cucumbers looked so ripe and juicy. The Greek salad was fantastic. Cucumbers, Kalamata olives, white onions, and feta cheese with a healthy serving of those juicy ripe, locally grown fresh tomatoes. Add a splash of red wine vinaigrette. A perfect way to start our evening. Added a trio of appetizers. The zucchini fries with whipped feta and zaatar was amazing. One of our favorite bites of the night. The crispy spanakopita was also very good as was the whipped avocado dip. I was surprised that the dips did not come with any thing to dip into them. We also ordered a flatbread, $5 for basically one pita, which was okay, but not the exceptional. My husband also enjoyed the beef tenderloin skewers. Maybe next time we will get the salmon and lamb if they don't run out. Since it was my birthday, the hotel gifted me a $40 voucher which was a nice bonus for evening. Service was excellent. Nice to have a bottle of water which they kept refilled. Bring a jacket, because even in July, it does get chilly when the sun goes down. Blankets are also available. Thanks to Suzy and the team at Kassi Rooftop Venice Beach for a magical birthday celebration. It truly was memorable evening. read more

Came here with some traveling coworkers for a drink and some sun. I was never a huge fan of High Rooftop, which had great views but the menu was always meh. Complete 180 now. The food was legit. Fries, hummus, and the SKEWERS (chicken and salmon) were all good enough to order another round. Cocktails, alc and N.A., were all beautiful and had a great mix of unique flavors. The servers let us stay longer than we were supposed to because they had a reservation after. Overall can't wait to come back now, especially with out of town friends or a hot date. read more

This is a great spot to come out for a chill and chic rooftop experience right by the beach. The view is incredible and I feel like this is the most accessible place on the whole block. Definitely grab reservations tho because you will need it! It gets booked up quick. Lots of seating options tho and also standing area too if you wanna just swing by for a drink or two. There's a bar there as well you can walk up to to order drinks from if you don't have a table reserved. A couple friends and I came out for an afternoon of drinks and apps. It was the perfect day and our server was very friendly. Our drinks were freshly made and tasted so! To be expected, a bit on the pricey side but it's not that bad. I want to come back again in the future, especially with summer coming around the corner. read more

We had stumbled into this amazing place purely by accident as we saw it while strolling on the boardwalk on a Sunday. We took a walk over and were so happy to see such a cool rooftop restaurant! The bar was open but it's standing room only mostly but who minds it with the amazing view. Dinner required reservations so we immediately made them through Open Table for a couple of says after. The ambiance was trendy casual with many happy people enjoying the sights. We had sunset reservations and we lucked out with a table on the west side on the edge. Our waitress Sophie (or Sophia, blanking on name, so sorry) was super friendly and very helpful with explaining the menu items. She offered two glasses of complementary white wine since we were celebrating our anniversary. Please clone her, she was great! We had the Harissa Honey Chicken and Ora King Salmon skewers, asparagus with this delicious creamy sauce, whipped avocado (A MUST!) with some of their tasty warm flat bread. Their Ouzo Orzo was simply delish and we topped our meal with their Watermelon Salad. All the tastes complimented each other perfectly. I do need to say that the chicken and salmon skewers were pretty big so one might be perfect for my next time (there will be!) and both were cooked to PERFECTION! They only have one dessert and it was like frozen yogurt with small marshmallows and some crumbly sweet baklava. A nice little treat to end our perfect night. I did have a dirty martini that was pretty yummy but their espresso martini truly was delish. Can't wait to go back! Oh, and get this! They offered us blankets when the heat lamp kept turning off! They have a few for those special situations. I love this place! read more

we are so happy we were able to dine at Kassi! We went on a Monday night and were able to get reservations before hand (highly recommend!!). For those who were walking in, a group of 2 behind us, the wait was close to two hours! We were seated right away and we had the lovely opportunity to have Karissa (I hope i spelled her name correctly) as our server. She was quick, sociable, and honest. We were asking her for recommendations on foods and drinks and everything she recommended was amazing! We started with the pulled flat bread - this was an 11/10 it was so fluffy and soft and buttery and just so amazing!! as I am writing this review i realized we were never given the spanakopita quesadilla which is okay - good reason to go back! we ended up getting the beef tenderloin skewers which was so soft and mouth watering, we also did the lamb skewers which were still good just not AS good! the drinks were excellent, the vibes were immaculate, and she walked around with blankets for those who were cold! we highly recommend here and we can't wait to be back (: read more

We had a wonderful experience at Kassi! From the moment we arrived, the customer service was exceptional. Our server, Sofia, was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. She took the time to answer our questions and gave great recommendations, which made our meal even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation. Every dish we tried was flavorful and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere was also fantastic--stylish, lively, and perfect for a relaxing meal near the beach. What really stood out was the level of hospitality. Sofia made us feel genuinely valued as guests, and her friendly service elevated the entire dining experience. read more

I popped in her for lunch courtesy of a Yelp Elite event and 10/10 will absolutely be coming back. I'd been to High a few times in the past (solely for the view after the first time) and the food/drinks were a total bust and you basically were just coming for the view. But Kassi has done a COMPLETE 180!! Aesthetic/Decor/Seating: she's giving like OG Bungalow (but less nuts) + soft Mallorca beach club energy. They had a DJ set and the intimate seating areas all along the side of the walkway are super cute. I recommend trying to get a table on the north or west side for the views. Absolutely wear sun screen/have sun protection if you're sensitive to sunlight as not every spot is shaded. There's also standing room at the bar if you just want to come for drinks, music and the views. Customer Service: 10/10 - the two gals at the host stand were super sweet and well organized in greeting guests and getting them seated. George took my drink order and then passed off to Jasmine how was my server for the majority of my meal. Honestly bravo on hiring both of these individuals! George appeared to also be moonlighting as a tour guide with the table next to me and was giving them great tips on spots in Venice as he was pointing out from the roof top view. He was very attentive and thoughtful and was nice enough to move me to a shaded seat once a table opened up. Jasmine was very thoughtful and friendly and knew the menu items well! She gave great recommendations and overall stellar customer service. Food/Drinks: I ordered the crudite with whipped avocado, gem salad, salmon skewer (Jasmine's recommendation) and the Ginger spritz (spacing on the name) mocktail. Overall the food was very well prepared, I would just make a few minor tweaks. The crudite and whipped avocado was my absolute fave I could have made a meal out of that combo alone. The salmon I was pleasantly surprised I was worried it was going to be a bit dry but was cooked perfectly and also paired well with the whipped avocado. The gem salad (although still good) was my least favorite. I think the melon was unnecessary and took away from the salad + it could have used a pinch of flaky salt on top. The mocktail was a smidge on the sweet side for my liking but still good. Parking: I would give yourself an extra 10+ mins for parking and just plan on parking in one of the paid lots. I parked in the one on N Venice Blvd ($20 for the day). Yeah it's a lot but this is standard for visiting this area of Venice so I'd just embrace it if I were you. Location: Kassi is on the rooftop of a hotel and if the hotel is busy it can be a smidge chaotic getting up to the rooftop but overall no major hurtles. There was a trash/sewage odor in the hotel on the elevator ride down which was a bit of putting so hopefully they get that fixed soon. Overall: 10/10 for the food/drinks, amazing views of Venice and beyond an exceptional customer service from the team! This place has only been open for about 2 months and is no doubt going to be POPPING OFF soon once more people catch wind of it. Don't say I didn't warn you and absolutely you need to make a reservation for weekends (yes even lunch) and dinners. read more

The view is great! Can't argue with that. The service was pretty solid too!! The food and drinks were underwhelming for the price and portion size. So don't go here starving. Calamari(3/5) Fries(3.5/5) Chicken skewer (4.5/5) flavor only! 1 skewer for $17 or so bucks is wild Beef skewer (4.5/5) flavor only! Same as chicken for the pricing and portion Penicillin with Japanese whiskey was weak - do not order if you love whiskey because you wouldn't know its in the drink Old fashioned- also underwhelming so i switched to beer. read more

We had an exceptionally wonderful time at Kassi. I had to pick a spot for dinner for a group of 5 celebrating a wedding. I had a foodie friend suggest this spot but I was skeptical because with a view this good, I thought the food wouldn't need to try so hard. We were blown away. First of all, every staff member we encountered was exceptionally kind and genuinely engaged. The view when you exit the elevator and step foot onto the rooftop is gorgeous, with the garden and lighting they've designed. We sat in a cozy corner. They had heaters and blankets so we were perfectly comfortable. It was a little challenging to sit a group of 5 with the smaller tables they use but that's only because we wanted to order more and more food. The noise was just subtle music and distant rolling waves, so it was great for conversing. The real show stopper was the incredible food. We thought we'd just have a couple small plates and cocktails and go somewhere after but when the flatbread and tzatziki turned out to be the best we've ever had, we started to order more and more food. Each item was truly delicious. I loved the gem salad and the salmon skewer. The guys raved about the beef and lamb skewer and the quesadilla (that was more than a quesadilla but I can't remember the name now.) Yummy cocktails. (And this was a tough crowd to please so the level of relief I felt was so satisfying to see each person raving about was every sip and bite.) You will impress out of towners. You will impress locals. Go to this place! (We were there on a Thursday eve so it wasn't very crowded. Not sure what it's like on weekends but the way they have it set up you'll still feel cozy and private.) Best of all, on our way out we saw what looked like the chef so we said hi and thanked him. And got his name, Chef Alex, and another man named George who were both so genuinely kind. They've really made a special experience of a restaurant and we all said we want to go back. Good job whoever owns that spot. I want this place to stay a hidden gem but it's too good not to share. Oh and easy valet parking or paid parking lot right across the street. read more

Make a reservation!! Weekends are usually fully booked with only a cancellation waitlist. There is bar seating available if you do not have a reservation. The drinks were very unique and delicious, and you can tell all of the bartenders love their job. It is a GORGEOUS location, offering a rooftop experience overlooking Venice beach. As a LA native, it really transported me to "vacation mode" instantly. read more

Best rooftop bar in Venice, didn't find anything better yet. Good cocktails and reasonable prices.

Heard about the new Kassi Beach Venice from the team at Belles and stopped by for lunch today. The space is really nice--open and relaxed, with a laid-back beach vibe that fits the neighborhood well. The view is actually insane. We shared a few dishes: all the dips, some of the skewers, and a spanakopita-quesadilla kind of dish that ended up being our favorite. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and easy to enjoy. Service was friendly and the pace felt easy, even though it was starting to fill up. Overall, a solid new spot--looking forward to coming back. read more

The food, the views, and the vibes were incredible. The pomegranate mule was delightful. The hummus with the flatbread was amazing on its own, and then the orzo was on a completely different level. When I tell you I was eating up this hummus and orzo like I hadn't eaten in five days, I mean it. Maybe it was the drinks flowing, but the food was genuinely outstanding. A solid 10/10 and I would definitely come back. The rooftop was stunning, with heat lamps that kept it warm and cozy, and the views were breathtaking. Watching the sunset from there made the experience even more special. read more

Besides my beautiful and amazing date,the other highlight of my first visit to Kassi was Gavin our server. If there were an Olympic event for reading the room and recommending wine he'd be bringing home the gold medal. Every wine suggestion paired perfectly with the food and somehow he managed the rare art of always being there when needed while never interrupting our conversation. The ambience was fantastic, the views were stunnin and the whole place struck that perfect balance between relaxed and sophisticated. As for the food the flatbread with avocado whip was so good I briefly considered ordering a second one instead of dessert and the zucchini fries disappeared at a speed that suggests they may be addictive. All in all, a wonderful evening, great service, excellent food, and a venue that's absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommended. read more

We came here for a birthday saturday night and we had a great server, his service was pretty good and the food was good and everything was flowing along well. The first incliniation I got that the support staff is completely unprofessional and untrained was when a young staff member rudely told us to leave because they were closing. Second, a friend went to the bar and asked for a drink and the bartender rudely responded wiith disreprespect and unprofessional attitude. Then when we complained to manager, Sydney, she gave us an insincere "im sorry you feel that way" repetitive statements with an attitude problem. We spent $1,200 to be treated poorly. No wonder the roof top is almost empty on a Saturday night.. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Immediately we were greeted with the friendliest wait, who was so knowledgeable about the menu. He gave us great recommendations for small bites and drinks. Though I'm more of tequila gal, I ordered their velvet foam as suggested by the waiter and my immediate thoughts were, WOW! The foam was so delicious, and the vodka paired perfectly with the ingredients. Of course we had to flame here at the perfect golden hour time, the rooftop bar had a great view of the La skyline+ beach. I loved the Greek fries, with their Za'atar dip, so delicious! read more

Gorgeous views!! If you're looking for a panty dropper sunset while sipping fancy and fun cocktails and listening to solid vibes, or you're just in need of a new backdrop for your next profile photo, this is the spot! I probably wouldn't plan a proposal here but I'd definitely plan a large gathering of friends. Also, the food was absolutely bomb! Not gonna lie, I went in with low expectations - rooftop restaurant in a touristy part of Venice beach with club vibes, you get the gist - but was soooo pleasantly surprised! The salmon and honey chicken kebabs were insanely tender and juicy. The garlic bread with whipped avocado also hit the spot. While the servers were super busy, once we were able to order, the food came out within minutes. I'd definitely goo back. read more

Amazing views, vibe, and service. Our waiter was awesome and one of the friendliest humans I've met in a long time. The views are incredible and I loved that when we went around 1pm on a Saturday it didn't have too many people. We were also able to walk in with no reservation. I don't know how long that will last but it was special! The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because the drinks were all just not cold enough. Especially since it's on a rooftop I expect more from the cocktails and prosecco - everything should be ice cold! Other than that it was wonderful and the food was good too. read more

An amazing improvement over the previous hotel bar & restaurant. Great food and drinks and very friendly service from the waitstaff. Only negative is the hostess was very rude. I called on the phone to see if they had room for two (mid afternoon). She told me soonest was way later in the evening and had a very rude tone for whatever reason. I went onto OpenTable and booked for 30 minutes out and saw they had availability on and off all afternoon. We were seated without issue once we arrived. I am not sure if their hostess just doesn't want to take reservations or what. read more

Kassi rooftop in Venice is an absolute gem. The Mediterranean food is outstanding, the cocktails are refreshing and well crafted, and the ambiance is perfect for just about any occasion. My personal favorite drink was the Japanese Penicillin, it's so good I'm still thinking about it. Our lovely server, Angel, was incredibly helpful with menu recommendations and made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. We went with the chicken kabobs, orzo, and salad, plus the extra hummus and yogurt dip--everything was delicious, satisfying, and beautifully prepared.

My friend and I came here on a Friday night. There was a DJ playing music, and people were lining up to get a drink at the bar, while others were sitting and dining. The place felt very much alive. We didn't order much, just a few appetizers. I really liked the Fried Zucchini Chips ($10, served with whipped feta, lemon, and za'tar - delicious!). They have blankets that you can cuddle with since it's getting cold at night. I recommend bringing a jacket. Also, if management is reading this review, please note that people in the food industry work hard. Please don't make your servers split their tips. We left a very generous tip using our credit card to our server, and I casually asked her if the tip money was going straight to her pocket (as it should), but she said they have to split it with everyone else, including the bartenders. Not fair! Please change that policy. read more

great vibes, come at sunset sometimes. sometimes too much ice in the drinks and they're already as expensive as it is

As always, the best view in Venice with a good vibe. Parked in the neighborhood and walked over, needed to have a reservation to be let up to the restaurant, or at least the man at the elevator asked if I had a reservation and I said yes, so I'm assuming that during peak times, they only let people up with reservations. Food was good, not memorable but you come for the vibes! read more

Absolutely GORGEOUS view and rooftop. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our dinner here, particularly since we were able to see the sunset! We tried the orchard adaptogen cocktails, calamari, taramasalata (smoked fish dip with an order of bread (bread doesn't come with it) and a beef skewer. The cocktail was fresh, the calamari gave bang for our buck, and my boyfriend devoured the taramasalata. The bread was like a thin naan and great for the spread. They were out of the salmon skewer, so the beef skewer was recommended to us by our waitress, and it was juicy and had a nice, light marinade on top. We found street parking and walked over but the hotel has valet parking. The team members who helped us were all super chill and friendly. The crowd was young, Westside professional (at least that's what it was on a Tuesday evening). I'd come back again for sunset views and stellar vibes. read more
