Enjoy a Memorial Day Brunch at Nueva Venice!

Here is a message from Nueva Venice!

We’ll be ready for you early on Memorial Day…serving our Cloud Pancakes, Churro French Toast, Frozen Margaritas, Mimosas ($25 for a bottle with OJ;), Tacos galore and much more.

With its homage to south-of-the-border cuisine, NUEVA is the creation of restaurateurs Jared Meisler, and Dave & Patti Reiss (Reiss Co). This laid-back contemporary mid-century styled cantina imbues the funkiness of Venice and makes an ideal choice to frolic and celebrate Memorial Day.
