“My favorite dining experience this year. Companion delivered on every level. Incredible food, warm service, and a vibrant atmosphere buzzing with energy. Even with a packed house, everything felt seamless. I loved chatting with the manager about wine. They have a really interesting list and they let me try multiple wines before making my selection. Super nice & knowledgeable. Great vibe- like a trendy New York spot but with a warm, laid-back Venice feel”
“Great experience. Sasha was a wonderful server and didn’t steer us wrong with any of her recommendations. They were impressively timely with their delivery of our wine and timed out our food perfectly. Most new restaurants struggle to get service down but companion has it nailed. This is how I would rate the dishes we tried: 1. chicken cutlet with vodka sauce - a must try and a great portion! 2. The Klaus pizza - so simple yet so delicious, balanced and well executed 3. arrabiatta pasta - the noodles are very conducive as a sauce vessel, little spice for depth 4. Focaccia - soft, grilled, large pieces and tasty salted butter 5. Caesar salad - lots of cheese, tasty, only so much you can do to make it standout amongst the rest on this list”
“Came in on a Sunday, with no reservation and just hopes to get a table ! The hostess was super friendly and squeezed us in to a table with an exception of having about 70 minutes to sit. Which was perfect. Our waiter, Allen, was super helpful with the wine and food selection. Everything we ate from the focaccia bread to the pasta and chicken cutlet, was amazing! Will definitely be coming back to try the other items!”
“companion is goated Gorgeous restaurant, so vibey, perfect for a date or a small group. Food is unreal the vodka chicken cutlet changed me. Great service too our server recommended the perfect amount of food and a nice (and affordable) bottle of wine.”
“Kind servers. Great food. Everything we ordered was delicious. I even enjoyed the bean dish and I’m not a big bean person. Solid happy hour options as well. The focaccia bread is outstanding!”
