Venice Art Crawl History: 

Did you know that Canal Club’s owner Daniel Samakow is one of the VAC Co-founders, and that the first Venice Art Crawl community meeting was held at the Canal Club in 2010!  Neat!

About Canal Club:

Canal Club is also located across the street from its sister restaurant, James’ Beach, the first restaurant created by restaurateurs James Evans and Daniel Samakow. “James’ Beach celebrates the familiarity of American comfort food; so when we opened across the street we wanted to celebrate the exploration of other cuisines found in Los Angeles, mainly Latino and Asian. We do so with an emphasis on sustainable, local and quality natural ingredients.” – James Evans

The original VAC Team with former Councilmember Bill Rosendahl at the 2nd year anniversary party in 2012.  Sunny Bak, Erin, David Zentz, Mark Rojas, Daniel Samakow, Edizen Stowell and Lisa Wilson.

On the corner of the 1900s brick building, the small neon sign that reads “Canal Club – Grill and Sushi” does not prepare visitors for Frank Gehry’s grand restaurant setting. A work of art featuring back-lit alabaster walls with 20′ ceilings and a tropical stilt house represented at its center. All together it sets the mood for the exploration to follow.

“The foundation of Asian and Latin cuisines is elemental, fire and water. Nothing is better than fresh raw fish prepared as ceviche, sashimi or sushi; or grilled meats, seafood and fresh vegetables, cooked over a wood. These simple preparations allow the quality and flavors of the ingredients to come through while also being very healthy.” – Daniel Samakow
