Netflix: Nick Liberatos restaurants explained Restaurants on the Edge chef cooks for A-List

Nick Liberato makes up one third of the dream team transforming restaurants in Netflix’s new cooking-cum-travel show, Restaurants on the Edge.

The chef and restauranteur is joined by fellow chef Dennis Prescott and interior designer Karin Bohn. Together, they travel the world finding restaurants which are losing out on business, despite their idyllic locations, thanks to their poor decor and menus. They are all situated lakeside, mountainside, oceanside, so expect plenty of stunning views from the series.

Nick oversees two restaurants in Venice, California.

The first is The Venice Whaler, which was founded in 1944 and has opened its doors over the years to rock royalty from The Doors, The Beatles & The Beach Boys. So, pretty impressive clientele.

Nick is the executive chef and partner at The Venice Whaler.

The Venice Whaler sits right on Venice Beach with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. They serve up everything from tuna poke nachos and chowder fries to ‘whaler wings’ and oysters, in true American cuisine style! The Venice Whaler also has killer cocktails and is a famous bar in the area.

Nick’s other restaurant is The Pier House. This second beachfront restaurant and bar has more of a fine-dining feel that the fun vibes at The Venice Whaler. Nick is the executive chef at The Pier House.
