   Always looking for a good sushi restaurant. Found this gem tucked away on El Paseo. The restaurant is quaint. The menu has many interesting combinations. We had spicy tuna tostadas, lollipop & venue rolls. All were fabulous. Our server, Ashley, couldn’t have been more attentive. Now that I know where it is, I will take advantage of the back parking lot the next time. And there will be a next time.

   Went there for Father’s Day after reading g about the place on Yelp. When we got there, they were not ready to open at 5pm. They were scrambling. The food was pretty good and expensive. The service was ok. We probably won’t go back to the venue.

    Ended up not eating here. If you want to pay $20 for 1 California roll, by all means do it. Place was pretty small and had an odd smell walking in.

    Service was substandard. Only six tables filled in this small restaurant and 3 servers yet it was 20 minutes before one of them came over to take our drink or food order. Very very slow service. Food was delicious and great presentation but overpriced, even in today's inflated market. May or may not go back.

    Looking forward to a relaxed sushi dinner I was greeted by thumping bass music as I entered the door. Not having worn my dancing shoes I felt I should turn and walk away, and I should have. Seating outside was OK, although the table top had a thin layer of sand/dust. The servers were pleasant but placing the little soy sauce dish on the table with their thumb in the middle of it was not cool. The sushi itself was just ordinary except for the pricing which was inflated. This place is not a venue for me.

    Booked The Venue for a girls weekend and everyone was blown away by the presentation and taste. We also found out this is the same owner as Sandfish, which is in downtown Palm Springs, and 80% of the menu is the same. So funny as we tried getting Sandfish reservation for a week leading up to the trip. Highly recommend!

    Normally this would have been a 5-star review, however, this being our 4th visit we've noticed a decline in value and service. We always start with the 24-piece sashimi sampler and the 1st and 2nd time the price was $49 and the slices of sashimi were reasonable, the 3rd time the price had increased to $56, and the portions were still acceptable. However, on May 8th, my actual birthday the portions were so small and sliced so thinly as to almost not exist, in fact, the salmon was served as small cubes. We know there are supply chain issues and quality fish has become more expensive, so instead of skimping on the portions just raise the price a bit. People who frequent better quality sushi restaurants don't expect bargain fare so let the cutomer decide if the sashimi sampler is worth the price.
