Marina Del Rey, CA: Uncle Darrow's - "Spectacular!"

2008-07-05T18:05:34-07:00

Review of Uncle Darrow's at 2560 Lincoln Blvd, Marina Del Rey, CA 90291

This is probably one of the best, original restaurants in Venice/Marina del Rey. Sure, there’s good Italian (Alejo’s) and Mexican (Lulu’s) and Sushi (Kifune)… but Uncle Darrow’s is something special. It’s not your run of the mill cookie-cutter restaurant. ...

Review of Axe at 1009 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, CA 90291-3372

by EmilGH:

A nice place with great service that serves local farm-direct and organic foods. Most of the healthy or organic places you go to feature slow service or an icky dining room. But not Axe.This place is great. An interesting menu with some good variety, a really nice wine list, in a ve...

Review of Shima at 1432 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, CA 90291-3741

by EmilGH:
