If you are looking for a place with extremely strict rules and an owner that watches the property cameras waiting for you to break the rules then this place is for you. A friend and I were in town visiting some friends from LA. The roof on this place is awesome so we decided to have a take out Chinese dinner on the roof. This was against Donald's rules as the dinner went past 9 (we left around 945) and we were 5 people over his limit. We were fairly quiet as we were sitting in a circle eating and catching up. No music on either. (There was also no propane for the very dirty, never cleaned grill that was on the roof. Also a terrible smell started around 8 that lasted all night. We weren't sure if this was coming from the place or from outside but it was very strong). Donald in the morning messaged me saying that we broke his rules and never do it again. We immediately apologized and vowed to not break his rules going forward. I guess my apology wasn't good enough as Donald then called a few hours later asking us to leave the premises. We were unsure why he changed his mind so quickly. All in all, I would avoid this place. It's not worth an owner watching your every move just waiting for you to mess up so he can kick you out. There are plenty of places in Venice with similar, if not, nicer places.
