"This small but bright Venice eatery combines indoor and outdoor space seamlessly, making its dining room feel like a beachfront cabana. Behind the bar is a large selection of tequilas and mezcals, including enough varieties of The Lost Explorer Mezcal to build a nice flight. Combine it with the arrachera, a skirt steak smothered in a carrot mole sauce, for a blend of traditional Oaxacan drink and Oaxacan-inspired cuisine. Or just grab a seat on the patio and watch day turn to night along Rose Avenue, one of Venice’s favorite streets." - Robert Spuhler
