Drawing and upscale, trendy crowd, this restaurant presents a hip, artsy atmosphere in which to serve Contemporary American cuisine based on classics like Cobb salad and grilled chicken. Televisions provide a venue for sports fans to keep up with their favorite teams, while live jazz entertains here on Sunday and Monday nights.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2007, Hal’s really is the grande dame of Venice establishments. With its extraordinarily long bar, art-laden walls and wonderful (if pricey) menu, it draws customers from every corner of Venice society. Though Hal’s is slightly upscale, casual dress won’t draw disapproving stares from anyone at this awfully laid-back place. Two of the best nights to go are... more

Created by a Hal's bartender, the cantaloupe martini is a house specialty, with a fresh melon flavor and potent vodka kick.

The Scene Whitewashed, high ceilings, an inviting 40-foot bar and frequently revolving artwork by artists such as Peter Alexander and Joni Mitchell contribute to the restaurant's hip, contemporary ambience. A mixed bag of diners--from casual beachcombers and trendy young professionals to more mature singles--relax in cozy booths with cool stone tabletops. The Food The... more

Prime patrons, plus their agents, publicists, stylists and attorneys hail Hal's Caesar and seasonal menus. Pastas vary as much as the artwork. Try jambalaya-style risotto with sweet-water prawns. Substantial waits to sit for plentiful seafood. Flirt until Mr. CAA buys you Jimmy-Ritas at the bar. Then trade up when that foxy little-known Euro star strolls in. Hal's pear and cranberry bread... more

I am happy to report that Hal's is doing so well during this economic downturn that it does not need its longstanding female customers.

I love Hal's and as in line with some of the other reviews, I probably love Dennis the bartender more. That said, other staff members, particularly James the bartender and management have a lot to learn about customer service. After going there to watch a... more

I USED to LOVE Hal's... but, the events over the past week has recently altered my entire view. I realized that I don't LOVE Hal's as a place to eat; I love Hal's as a Saturday night bar... more so, I love Dennis, the heavy handed, friendly bartender!

This is why I no longer enjoy Hal's during the day...

Last week, I ordered a take-out lunch for my production team prepping a commercial down... more

I have never written a restaurant review but this was a must. Went to Hal's a little early on a Friday night and were seated quickly to a great booth in the back. Enjoyed the evening with good friends, atmosphere was fun but extremely loud. It forced us to speak louder than normal. Unknown to us, Hal was sitting directly behind us. He came to our table of women, announced who he was,... more
