The Rose, which has served millions of customers since its founding in 1979, will close Dec. 15. Chefs Jason Neroni, Ray Garcia and others helped make it a legendary L.A. restaurant.

The Rose Café, a beloved institution in the Venice community since its establishment in 1979, has announced it will permanently close its doors. The decision comes in the wake of acclaimed chef Jason Neroni's departure in December 2023 and the subsequent appointment of chef Ray Garcia earlier this year.

The Rose, one of Venice’s most iconic and enduring restaurants that relaunched in 2015 under Sprout restaurant group and chef Jason Neroni, will close permanently after brunch service on December 15,

We can hardly believe it given the affect that the eatery has had on the city’s culinary culture but the Rose Venice has announced that it will officially shut down operations after Sunday brunch on 15.
