    It was completely dead when we went - we were the only two in the entire place. To be fair it was the Saturday night before Christmas. There was no need to get a reservation. But we did not stay. Why? Because when we arrived I went to the bathroom and it was filthy. If you cannot keep the bathroom clean and there is no one there, we have a problem. I'm not eating there. So we left and went to another place which was slightly better.

    The food buffet was good and had lots of option. The bottomless drinks were not very nice. The espresso martini was not nice at all!

    We sat at our table for 15 minutes outdoors before our order was taken. However, the food was delivered just as fast as long as we waited to order it, and it was very good.

    Waterfront Venice is in a great location to see all the vibes of Venice Beach. Steps from the sand and on the famous boardwalk, the ambiance captures the colorful eclectic beach feels. The menu has loads of healthy options with a flavorful twist. Food was delicious and service was friendly! What more could you ask for?!

    The cinnamon birthday dessert was delicious and our waiter was fantastic. The food was amazing and a great treat. The prices are worth the food. Atmosphere was relaxing and friendly. I wish there was parking or free parking but this is Venice we are talking about.
