A few Irish accents completed the mood. Our server (who was very busy) was another highlight of fun and great service. NOTE the service is crazy quick. So if you want to order drinks and appetizer as we did - don't order your mains at the same time!! Wait until you have enjoyed your appetizers and then order your mains!! The food (especially the fried chicken appetizers with whisky aioli) was good. The cod and chips was acceptable but (having just returned from the UK) we would pick something else next time. Also parking is tough to find - BUT allow me to suggest about 0.2 miles down the street there is a large multi level shopping complex with stores like Fat Burger and Total Wine and many more - LOTS of parking - and it is free!!!

Between the service, ambiance, and food, you really have to see it for yourself. My dad had the lamb stew, which tasted just like how we make it at home. I would give this place 200 stars if I could.

Twice in one day I witnessed two separate staff members go out of their way to help people in ways not required or expected of them. In the afternoon, one of the staff very subtly and respectfully gave a homeless woman who was clearly having a difficult time a pastry and a drink and later that same day, another staff member helped walk man in crutches up the street who wasn't even a customer. The entire staff here is kind, engaging and caring with all people regardless of their background.

The smug tool sitting next to me lost in his own self-imagined glory was just bizarre. I grew up in Beverly Hills and these people made BH look down to earth. Couldn't wait to get out of there. Had to scrub the stain of these self- absorbed jackasses off of me.

Most importantly the atmosphere is so thoughtful and well done. Good music on good speakers at the right volume with warm sound where you can feel it but still hear each other talk. Mezze platter and cheese boards looked like a work of art of when they came out. We were there 4-6pm and there was golden natural lighting throughout the space. It's one of those places you can really settle into and disappear into the experience. I plan to be a regular.

The wait staff and bartenders, like Asher, are absolutely delightful - especially Faith, and Brian; who works the door. Brian is the nicest guy ever. A+ to all the employees! Top shelf. I've visited this place a few times and it was littered with entitled, snobby girls 21-28 who seem to pattern their lives after the Sex and The City divas ..but they are ALL Charlotte! If you know, you know. There is one gypsy girl who parties there everybody needs to watch out for. She's about 5'4," chubby, long scraggly brown hair, big black blouse, dog chain around her neck, and rolls dice while waiting outside in line with her blonde cohort. This rare girl is a psycho who screams random insults at men indiscriminately as they walk by. Clearly she's mentally ill ..but it is Venice, so ..ya know. This place always has great music, and the upstairs is divine. All the male patrons I've spoken to here have been pretty cool. I do take some pity on the single gents here just looking to meet a nice girl, knowing full well how many party girls will be trying to con a free drink out of them, but alas, it is what it is.

It's an intimate and comfortable setting, with only around 14 seats available. Executive Chef Keigo Yoshida and General Manager Masaki Ishiba were running a two-man show the night we dined as Asakura and did an astounding job. They balanced perfectly executed dishes with warm hospitality, keeping all the guests happy in the meantime. The Omakase menu offers dishes created to the absolute highest standard; the Chawan Mushi with Black Truffle is the best version I have ever had of this dish. Outstanding! Please see photos for the menu but keep in mind the menu will change with the seasons. I cannot wait to return to Asakura. And....free parking in the lot.

Great place for a glass (or few) of wine and dinner. It felt cozy and intimate without being too loud. The guy at the bar, who I assume was either the owner or manager, was really personable and welcoming. He poured us a couple samples and we ended up going with a red that we really liked. We ordered the focaccia, meatballs, and lasagna, which we both really enjoyed. Tasted like we were having a meal at someone's home. There's a small back lot for parking but street parking was relatively easy to find. You can also ask for a table nearby a wall plug if you need somewhere to plug in your laptop. This is going to be our go-to eats+wine+study spot when we're on the west side.
