Restaurants near Hotel Erwin

Best restaurant in Venice. From the food to the service, Gjelina is a must do in LA.

In an area where finding a really good restaurant can be a sketchy proposition, Belles was a solid option. The location near Venice Beach is good, but obviously touristy. But the Tiki Bar vibe was totally awesome!! Great ambience and the food was very solid as well. We shared 2 apps and split a dinner and everything was delicious. Service could have been a little peppier, but hey, you're in CALI. We got a couple of Tiki cocktails which were awesome, and priced where you'd expect for a top notch Tiki Bar. One thing I'd warn anyone about are the wine pours. We got 3 glasses of wine priced at $17, and they were easily 1/2 of a standard wine glass pour. The glasses were small and the pours were even smaller. I regretted that we didn't send the small pours back (which I can honestly say I've never done) and requested a different drink. If you go the wine route, invest in a bottle. Bottle prices were high for the varietals available, but a much better value than the "by the glass" pours and pricing, which were basically (and I'm not going to pull any punches here) a complete rip off. As my wife said, "that wasn't a pour, it was more like 3 sips!"

We had a fantastic time! Andrew was very helpful with our last-minute reservation update. Our waiter was also kind and attentive to all our needs. The food was great, and the quantity they served was perfect.

Once again superb experience! The menu is always super creative and delicious. The team members work together and have the nicest energy. They really are doing a wonderful job of providing a fine dining experience that is also hip enough for Venice.

Next level. More people need to be coming here. Essential.
