WHY WE LOVE IT (GOOP)
Horseshoe bar, check. Complexion-enhancing lighting, deep-emerald walls, and dark wood, check. House martinis made with bayleaf-infused vodka, plus aged Flannery steaks, and design by the cool kids at folklor? Next-level Venice dining, unlocked.

American Beauty is the steakhouse Rose Avenue didn’t realize it needed: All the delicious, nostalgic, good stuff you expect from a meat-forward spot is on the menu, but there’s also a hamachi collar and the ubiquitous crispy Brussels sprouts dish (the restaurateurs responsible know their audience—American Beauty is the brainchild of a trio of Westside restaurateurs responsible for Superba Food + Bread and The Tasting Kitchen, with cochefs Elisha Ben-Haim and Anthony Goodwin).

The design thoughtfully preserved elements of the original Venice Ranch Market building but opened up the front (for sipping strong drinks while people-watching) and added outdoor seating. Grab a generously poured $10 glass of wine, choose your sexy steakhouse setting—booth, barstool, bent wood chair, they’re all here—and combat iron deficiency in style (or order the grilled corn and maitake mushrooms instead). In the area before 5 p.m.?

Swing by The Window, the restaurant’s takeout arm, which kicked off the hype months before American Beauty’s opening night by serving highly photogenic burgers from a window in the same building.

425 Rose Ave., Venice, CA 90291
