The Venue Sushi Bar and Sake Lounge

If you’ve had your fill of European and American cuisine, it might be time for you to sample some nigiri sushi, maki rolls, or place yourself in chef Engin Onural’s capable hands and try the omakase at this 48-seat Japanese spot set back behind some shops on Palm Desert's fashionable El Paseo. And like the name says, sake will be a big part of your dining experience as well. The restaurant's chef and owner, Engin Onural, is a sake sommelier and holds certification from the Sushi Chef Institute in Torrance, California. The Venue is a perfect option for our Palm Desert and Rancho Mirage renters, but also well worth the drive for Palm Springs renters.
