Very Wrong: Venice Room

Someone with terrible taste took me to the Venice Room (2428 S. Garfield Ave., Monterey Park). It looked sort of cool and retro from the outside.

But then I stepped inside. It's a dump, one that is stuck in the '70s.

The daily lunch special is a cook-your-own steak with baked potato, salad, bread, and butter. It's $7.75 for a 7-ounce steak and $13.50 for a 13-ounce steak. You get what you pay for.

I paid for it in the bathroom all afternoon.

And you know what? I was stupid enough to return because another person with terrible taste convinced me to try Wednesday Burger Day.

Believe it or not, I spent another afternoon in the bathroom. I hate this place.

  3. I'm surprised you hang out with people with terrible taste, or at least let them pick the restaurant to dine at.

  5. You were totally asking for it by cooking your own steak (sounds like Melting Pot right?) and only $8 for a steak.

  6. Oh no. :/ Dude, we don't even pay $8 for a nice steak that we buy to cook at our own home. That's sayin' something.
