Leona has made its way onto the restaurant scene in Venice with progressive California cuisine that is seasonally driven and globally inspired as mentioned on their website. I found it to be a charming little spot on Washington. We arrived for a late dinner around 10:00 pm and the service was excellent.

Must try on the menu:

DUMPLING SQUASH: Tapioca Risotto, Burrata Cheese, Red Wine Reduction, Crispy Black Quinoa

LOCAL BLACK COD: Sweet Onion Jus, Japanese Mustard Greens
