In Short – When owner Connie Anderson left his post as executive chef at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills to open AK, he created a modern, casual, subdued universe based on Cal-French cuisine with strong ties to his Swedish-Scandinavian roots. – Not many places will offer herring three ways, Swedish meatballs with cucumber salad, lingonberry preserve, pork schnitzel in brown butter with capers and pumpkin cheesecake, gingersnap crust, or lingonberry ice cream for dessert. Designed by Peter Fergin, this lovely, understated environment seats 70 with an indoor/outdoor patio, a…

Went there on saturday nite with a gift certificate so the meal was free. Still left very annoyed. It was very unprofessional. I guess it was the last nite for the old crew of chef while the new crew chef were in the back so i guess there was anger between the staff. Why the staff are telling guest this i have no idea. Why they have the old kitchen staff in while the other staff there is unbelievable. Maybe to save money. I do not know. But maybe guest should told that they going a crappy service because the owner is trying to save money. Does any know the number for the business bureau? I felt that i felt i got rib off. Ran out certain item. Long wait. Angry staff. Some staff look like they soak in water from the back. I blame this on the owner. Seriously does any know how i can get my money back. Thanks. Just choking. Not Really

Great comfortable hangout with good food!
by mdjani82 at Citysearch
My friends and I always have a great time here. We've been going back almost every week for their delicious food and their friendly service. It's a wonderful Venice hangout, not pretentious and comfortable.
Their fish selection changes often but love the yellowtail and we are addicted to their mac and cheese.
The service team is fun and welcoming. They always remember us and makes us feel at home. Friendly yet professional.
- Pros: Food and Service
- Cons: What are the drawbacks?

AK keep walking or even cross the street...
by richardstein at Citysearch
As if gangs werent enough of a reason to keep moving in Venice the latest reason to run for it is AK a pretentious high priced, poorly realized excuse for a culinary expericnce as ive had to sit through in years. After waiitng forever for an appetizer ,what comes out of the kitchen should have stayed there. A chef should probably be involved here somewhere. You cant find your waitress with a geiiger counter after an interminable wait and it goes down hill from there....the prices are exactly what youd expect so put your credit card in your other pocket and keep walking there are plenty of actual pleasant dining experiences elsewhere in Venice.
- Pros: nice street
- Cons: name it- the food the prices the wait the wait the wait
