Over dit restaurant

Hotspot
Juweeltje in de wijk
Goed voor speciale gelegenheden

The Tasting Kitchen on Abbot Kinney in Venice originally opened in 2009, with a young, newcomer chef - Casey Lane - who had just moved to Los Angeles from Portland. The name and concept were one and the same, with Lane refreshing a tasting-style menu almost nightly based on what was available at the markets. Known for its handwritten menus, and luxe bohemian vibes complete with an olive tree growing in the middle of the dining room, the restaurant quickly became one of the iconic tentpoles on the famed Westside boulevard. Here, Lane made a name for himself in the LA culinary scene and helped create a hot spot for locals and a destination for an audience beyond.

Chef Casey Lane’s approach is simultaneously serious with technique and relaxed in delivery. The menu will once again be ingredient-driven, with bold flavors, live fire, and coursed with intention.

One of Venice’s most anticipated restaurant reopenings is finally here - and @the.tasting.kitchen was absolutely worth the wait. 🤍 📍The Tasting Kitchen, Abbot Kinney After being closed for years following a fire, this Venice favorite is officially back — with the same effortlessly cool energy, a beautiful new space, and a menu that somehow feels both familiar and fresh. A few standouts: 🍑 God’s Work salad — yes, that’s really the name — with fresh peaches and tomatoes 🐟 Kanpachi — bright, fresh, and delicious 🥩 Picanha steak — perfectly cooked with a bordelaise sauce I genuinely wanted to lick off the plate 🫘 Grilled Romano beans — the sleeper hit of the night; simple, savory, and so good we finished every single one The atmosphere might be one of the best on Abbot Kinney right now — lively, elegant, great music, and somehow still easy to have a conversation. If you’re looking for a new restaurant in Venice, an Abbot Kinney date-night spot, or one of LA’s most exciting restaurant reopenings, put The Tasting Kitchen at the top of your list.

I was so excited to come back to the TK after so many years. I was disappointed, unfortunately, primarily by the poor service. The waiter did not seem to know what he was talking about, representing the cocktails, wines by the glass, and some of the food poorly. The food was quite good, especially the branzino which was exceptional. There should be more lettuce leaves provided, however, and the waiter made a big deal about us asking for more, saying that we would not be charged. For extra lettuce leaves!! The other dishes were pitifully small for the price, but good. The wines by the glass were lackluster and given the restaurant, I expected better and remembered that the choice used to be better. Overall very pricey and very noisy.

The vegetable dishes were outstanding and the highlight of the meal. The leaks, the tomatos and mozzarella, the onions that accompanied the steak...really memorable. Enjoyed all the pastas and mains. A cool vibe and fun place. Glad it's bad

While we did love the food, the prices were out of this world! I could justify the branzino at $85 for the 2 of us, still high, but ok. The appetizers were skimpy and very expensive. Wines by the glass were also very pricey. I would have happily returned, but not at this price point which is unfortunate.
