I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
We love nothing more than discovering hidden gems, especially when it comes to food. In Southern California, there are some spots that have a long-standing reputation for offering something special, and this old-school restaurant in Monterey Park, CA, is one you are going to want to experience.
The Venice Room Steak House was founded in 1955 and has become a Monterey Park icon known for its self-cook grill.
For anyone who loves to grill beef, this place is an ideal dinner spot. You get to cook just the part of the meal you actually enjoy cooking, and everything else is done for you, including the clean-up!

The prep station has everything you need to make your perfect steak with a great selection of seasonings and sauces to choose from and combine.
If you are not sure how to grill your steak exactly how you like it, all you need to do is ask your server. They are there to help you grill up the perfect steak.
Your meal comes with a salad, baked potato, garlic toast, and ice cream dessert. At dinner, you have options for a steak with no side or a steak meal special for two. Can you say perfect date night?
Although self-grilling is what makes this restaurant special, not everyone wants to cook their own dinner. The menu has lots of other options, too, such as burgers, butterfly shrimp, tacos, wings, and patty melts.
In addition to wine, beer, and a very extensive cocktail menu, the restaurant offers a selection of combos, each with a perfectly paired meal and cocktail. For example, you can order an Old Philly combo to enjoy a classic Old Fashioned and The Venice Room’s one-of-a-kind Philly Cheesesteak and fries.
The Venice Room hosts music events, including epic karaoke nights, every week. Check The Venice Room website for hours, menus, and reservations.
