Located in the bustling Abbot Kinney neighborhood of Venice, there is a seemingly easy to miss little spot called The Tasting Kitchen. It is adorable, bright, and warm inside. We were greeted by the friendly staff and grabbed 2 House Bloody drinks while we waited a few minutes for our table. The Bloodies were thirst quenching and perfectly fresh and spiced. We enjoyed the amazing Banana bread while we waited for our entrees, the grilled tomato sandwich and short rib hash. There are a lot of meaty entrees so a vegan/veggie may have a hard time ordering, make sure to ask the helpful server for some help.
After brunch, you can walk and shop around Abbot Kinney or even walk down to Venice beach.
Tips: Def make a reservation, the restaurant is small and gets busy on Sundays. Grab a drink from their full bar while you wait for table.
