The menu explores classic Mexican flavors like ceviches, aguachiles, and machacas, taking advantage of California’s wealth of produce and fresh seafood “that serve as a wonderful vehicle for the spicy and acidic flavors we’re inspired by,” Cervantes says.ĭishes like carne asada may sound familiar, but savoring slices of the premium hangar steak with grilled onion and greens, an avocado-based salsa and the house tortillas becomes a luxurious experience. “You can especially see that influence on our brunch menu,” which includes dishes like lobster tostada and fish machaca chilequiles. The cocktail menu also reflects those influences, Volfson explains, with drinks like the Smoked Highball with lapsang souchong-infused pine liqueur and the Yuzu Raspado, a refreshing frozen citrus cocktail with yuzu sake and mezcal, garnished with shiso leaf.ĭamian’s menu is inspired by the coastal regions of Mexico, Cervantes explains.

Today, patrons of the city can walk along the canals in the area located within South Venice Blvd., Pacific, Ocean Ave. The leftover canals then fell into disrepair for years until the early 90s, (1993) after the Venice Canals were reconstructed and reopened. In 1929, most of the canals were filled to create the streets around the city, such as Windward Ave. The Venice Canal Historic District is most known for its man-made canals. The Canal was built in 1905 by developer Abbot Kinney as part of his "Venice of America” plan. However, there is more to the Venice Canals then most of us would have thought. To some it may just look like a pond with boats to others they see it as a great backdrop for a photo opportunity. On your way to the boardwalk at Venice Beach, most have probably passed by the Venice Canals. (credit: Venice Canals Holiday Lights Tour)
