The Venue Sushi - Palm Desert

The ambiance it was pretty nice, you can enjoy a good place for talk and eat, the sushi was delicious, my favorite was the ko Ko. The experiment rolls was so fresh and the cilantro fit perfectly on it. We also had a spicy margarita en it was yummy. The service was good and nice, definitely I'll be back.

Fairly well executed dishes. Their pricing was rather expensive, almost to a Nobu level....not sure if that's just what the area calls for? We enjoyed the Wagyu Beef Carpacio, and a couple of the rolls. The appetizers are good, nothing out of the ordinary. The shrimp tempura was crispy and not oily. The restaurant itself is rather small so definitely recommend a reservation.

The outdoor seating area is lovely, with a relaxing ambiance that's perfect for a pleasant evening out. The sushi itself was very good and fresh, with each bite bursting with flavor and high-quality ingredients. The menu offered a nice variety, and everything we ordered was well-prepared and beautifully presented. The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.

I've gone to The Venue several times now. The food, the service and the ambiance are 5 stars. Just thinking about it makes me want to go back. Last night was a perfect example. We were greeted warmly when we walked in. The dining room and sushi bar are gorgeous. Our server Alle made wine and food selections for us beginning with the black salt edamame. We then had Happy Hour nigiri that was perfect as a starter. My son then had the El Paseo roll. I tried it too and highly recommend. The shrimp tempura handroll was great. Thank you to The Venue staff, I am looking forward to my next visit!

The restaurant is located in El Paseo right across the street from Kitchen 86. When you walk in you're greeted by where the designated outdoor seating is. The entrance is between two storefronts and you walk around the outdoor seating to get to it, which makes the outdoor seating area a little less private and intimate. I did not know their sister sushi restaurant is Sandfish in Downtown Palm Springs, but they have a roll named for it. We started off with drinks which were good and not too strong. After we got nigiri, both Escolar and Smoked Salmon. This was the first time my boyfriend has actually tried nonfried/cooked sushi. I love Escolar and he loved it as well. Next we got their specialty rolls: The Dragon, Bosphorous, and The Venue. The Bosphorus was my favorite because of the escolar on the top. The other two were good, but I wasn't a fan of the micro greens. I thought it was overused in The Venue. Overall, this place is good for the area. The fish tastes fresh and hits the spot without having to drive over an hour.
