Neighbor
This spot is Permanently Closed.
Venice loves a good neighborhood hangout, so it makes sense that this Abbot Kinney restaurant decided to call itself Neighbor. It’s in the old Willie Jane space, and feels a little like the living room of that one friend who got a little too excited that they have their own house to decorate and just copied what they saw on social media. The food is good - we tried a pea salad that was mostly just burrata, and some solid lamb - but Neighbor is best used as a spot for drinks and a bite while you discuss whether you will one day actually be able to afford a house near the beach.
