The vibe

Josiah Citrin's casual Venice counterpart to his Mélisse empire celebrates live-fire cooking with an open-hearth kitchen as the centerpiece. The warm, rustic-industrial space opens to a patio that captures Venice Beach's laid-back luxury aesthetic. Premium ingredients prepared over mesquite and wood define the menu philosophy.
