Came here Sunday lunch.
It was amazing! Started with the oysters (love the fresh shaved horseradish, mignonette, and cocktail sauce) and then moved to the Escarole salad (11/10) followed by the snap peas, steak tartare and finished with the four onion pizza! There wasn't room for dessert! The tartare lacked a little salt but we still enjoyed it. The service was top notch! The bussers were impeccable. And I loved the design inside the restaurant. Both lower level and top level.

Be the first to ReplyI had a great first experience at Gjelina.
The baklava croissant was amazing, highly recommended Gjelina. The atmosphere and outdoor garden was a great place to sit in the sun.
Be the first to ReplyI went there with a group of people.
Everyone talks about Gjelina, so we decided to give a shot. Really overrated. Food and ambience. And service... there was one person covering a large area, so we had to talk to 3 other people who were trying to figure out where the waitress was... any order would take forever to be taken... really terrible service. They have 20% service included in the price, so my bet is that, nobody would change the bill to become a 15% service (which really needs improvement). So nobody at Gjelina make much of an effort to change the quality of that, knowing that they will already receive 20% for the service, being that good or bad... Do not recommend it.

Great food and atmosphere! You have to wait in line to order and parking in the area is a little tight but it's worth it.

Sunday brunch here and sadly there was not eggs in the building, but thats not important. We sat outside and it was gorgeous with the trees acting as shade and such rich vegetation all over. The service was spot on as our waiter described every dish in detail and was spot on. However, how was the food? Beef Tartar- very sour and acidic, but balances with the charred sourdough bread Bok Choy- garlic and little spice, probably my second favorite dish Japanese Sweet Potatoes- any vegetable with a yogurt sauce is a hit and this was not different (Favorite) Snap Peas- the mint made the dish, however it seemed lacking in flavor Celery Root- when eaten with every component it was delicious Escarole Salad- acidic and a little spicy and the almonds added a nice crunch Gem Salad- too much dijon for me Chorizo Pizza- quality ingredients, just prefer more crisp toward the middle Steak Bahn Mi- lots of mayo and don't prefer it in a bahn mi Rock Fish Sandwich- bun was heavenly and overall one of the best grilled fish sandwiches I have tried Lemon Shaker Pie- SUPER SOUR, no sweetness at all Overall, nothing blew me away, everything was good, but not great. The atmosphere, service, and quality of ingredients is what makes this a 4 star for me. If you decide to come make sure it is sunny and you sit outside.

A star for that delicious butterscotch pudding, a star for our sweet server and a star for the efficient operations and ambiance, I guess but overall food is meh. Parking Ofcourse is annoying, we ordered a few breakfast appetizers, the cauliflower was the better one and we enjoyed the pizzas, from the dishes if we had to choose. Mimosas were cool, I'll say, but can def do better with food quality and taste of dishes. Happy Easter y'all!
Be the first to ReplyFood is good however Gjelina has lost care for patrons.
They have a no modifications policy which I wasn't aware of. It's no where to be found on their website or website menu. Before I could finish asking if they could omit the prosciutto from a salad, the waitress very tersely cut me off "no modifications". It would be good if patrons could finish a sentence first. Omissions also feel different than modifications but it's their policy. Given Gjelina have an automatic 20% gratuity on all bills, it feels like there is no standard for patron care from servers. They don't care how they treat you since the 20% tip is guaranteed. Will skip Gjelina and stop recommending it to others going forward.
Be the first to ReplyThis place is solid.
A must eat location in Venice. I had my birthday there and I was stoked! Definitely check it out, great wine, pizza and desserts.
Be the first to ReplyI think Gjelina makes the best pizzas in LA.
And I should know having lived in New Haven, Connecticut, for four years. If you like our style. The crust is perfect and the toppings as sophisticated as you want or don't. Combine that with a whole bunch of scene-stealing dishes just three of which are as diverse as various fish crudo, Japanese squash, and duck confit. You might wait for your reservation but, once seated, service is always knowledgeable and attentive. I can't go often enough.
Be the first to ReplyWent for brunch on a Saturday after being highly
Went for brunch on a Saturday after being highly recommended. Looked busier from the outside but it was not really that busy. Had a res so was greeted and seated right away. Hostess was friendly and sat us upstairs inside by the window. Good seat since it was a sunny but cooler day. We ordered coffee and some other stuff. Coffee was warm, maybe a little more than room temperature, so that was a turn off. And when I got a refill, I realized why it was not hot, because the coffee sits in a thermos pitcher. Food was fine, nothing spectacular, but good enough to finish. As for service, let's just say we got served. Very AI impersonal and I guess when the 20% service charge is automatic, they don't have to try. On to the next...
Be the first to ReplyWent for dinner with my son and husband for my husband's
Went for dinner with my son and husband for my husband's birthday. Guess we should have checked reviews first. We dine out a lot and never have experienced such pretentious, rude, poor service especially considering the high prices and mandatory 20% service charge. Our waitress (tall with short dark hair) was cold and rude. First, as stated on the menu - they literally will not change or substitute anything - so if you have any dietary restrictions or preferences, forget about any accommodation. For example, there is a vegetable that has a yogurt sauce on top - they could not put it on the side for someone in our party who can't eat dairy. If something is sprinkled with nuts, they can't withhold the nuts or put them on the side. The waitress was unapologetic about this, and made us feel It was inappropriate to ask. My entree was served before any other food came out. After waiting for 10 minutes with no other food coming out we pointed it out to the waitress and she looked at us blankly and sarcastically said something like - "so?" and " Did you think all the food would be brought at the same time?" I said it got cold while I waited for other food to arrive - can they heat it up ? She said, "no". Very blasé and unapologetic. She finally said they could remake it if I wanted - of course making me feel bad about wasting food. But otherwise the dish would have been cold by the time everyone else's food came. Overall a very unfriendly, impersonal vibe. We would never have left a 20% tip (as we regularly do in other establishments) for the awful service we received, but we were left no choice. By the way, even with the mandatory 20% tip added to the check, they still include a tip line. The food was creative, but not outstanding, and definitely does not warrant ever coming here again.
Be the first to ReplySuper trendy spot in a super trendy area.
Still feels somewhat relatable and dressed down. Sat outside and people watched, lovely spot. The pizza was delicious, each bite was complex and different. Each bite was its own experience. The service was very casual but really attentive and responsive. Eat here!
Be the first to ReplyBe advised this restaurant DOES NOT accommodate food
Be advised this restaurant DOES NOT accommodate food allergies or sensitivities. They do not have this listed on their website. I have had the privilege of eating at some of the best restaurants all over the world and have never been refused an accommodation due to a food allergy. The staff was smug and rude. And for this I paid a mandatory 20% tip. There are many fabulous restaurants in LA, unfortunately this is not one of them. Do not waste your time or money here.

The food here was delicious! I loved the agnolotti & the pomodoro + burrata pizza. They didn't have Margherita which is my favorite from the takeout section. My sister loved the beef cheek pasta as well. Only think I didn't love was it was super super loud even though we sat on the outside patio area. I also didn't love the auto 20% service tip... waitress was a little rude, so I didn't love that
Be the first to ReplyI was really looking forward to eating here and sadly it
I was really looking forward to eating here and sadly it was extremely disappointing. Food and ambiance was great but service was exceptionally terrible. Don't know our waiter's name because he never introduced himself. Given the number of great options nearby, I would not return. Would consider takeaway though.

This was the best Rockfish sandwich I've ever had!! The salad simple and fresh. The salad dressing was delicious. I would recommend this place to everyone visiting the Venice Beach area.

Located on Abbot Kinney, parking around here can be hit or miss. I got lucky and found street parking nearby. Walked in without a dinner reservation and was seated about 15 minutes later. The ambience of this place is really dark, there seemed to be only a few light bulbs overhead for a pretty sizeable restaurant. I literally read my menu by candlelight! lol Aside from the poor lighting, the menu itself was difficult to read because of the small print as they had so many items listed, the offerings are plentiful. The waitstaff was helpful in offering their suggestions. We ordered a few plates to share, the portions were decent, and the food was pretty good. Nothing stood out to be spectacular but overall a good meal with good variety of flavors...escarole salad, chanterelle mushrooms, wood roasted prawns, and the warm date cake for dessert.
Be the first to ReplyTHE GOOD: Super cool space with sexy lighting and great
THE GOOD: Super cool space with sexy lighting and great overall vibes. Our pizza was also outstanding. THE BAD: Immediately upon arrival we were "greeted" with cold/rude attitude from the hostess and flatly told to "go stand against the wall"... Next came the table service that was completely rushed and impersonal. No greeting, no small talk, just literally asked "Do you want anything to drink." No "hello", no introduction, no personality. The really frustrating thing is that you are charged a flat 20% service fee, so there is obviously no incentive to provide good service. Other than the pizza, the food was only OK. The roasted brussel sprouts were nearly raw, the pasta was just dried pasta (not house made) and was just OK. For the kinds of prices they charge, I would expect a better food experience. THE BOTTOM LINE: Do yourself (and your wallet) a favor and just order their pizza for takeout.
Be the first to ReplyAmbience ~ Good Service ~ Our server was so kind, answered
Ambience ~ Good Service ~ Our server was so kind, answered all our questions, and checked in on us multiple times throughout the dinner. When we ordered, were immediately told the kitchen is behind (our reservation was at 9pm) Food ~ The Food was good, but overall it was overpriced for my book -- it is on Abbot Kinney so you have to expect things to be higher in price. It's great for a 1 and done and move on to another place for better value. We ordered: *4 Onion, Goat Cheese Pizza & the Lamb Sausage Pizza - both awesome, but very greasy and little too much salt for me. *Japanese Sweet Potato - My FAVE! *Orrecheiette - had a good beef flavor, but I felt it had a little too sweet of flavor at the end reminiscent of ketchup...hubby described it as "adult spaghetti o's" in flavor *Selection of Charcuterie - Classic and delicious *Braised Short Rib - fall off the bone, very tender, but the dressed arugula was TOO SALTY *Prawns - good, but nothing that special *Oyster Mushroom - TOO SALTY, nothing special, skip this *Miso Bok Choy - The miso was good on the veggies and I will make this at home for MUCH LESS
Be the first to ReplyWent here with a group of friends (7) on a Sunday night.
We were unable to make a reservation online, but you can make a reservation over the phone. I would highly recommend making a reservation as it does get very busy. We were seated on their back, outside patio. It was lightly raining outside, but the had umbrellas covering most of the seating area. It was just a little cold outside. Their patio was very cute and secluded. The food was very good. All of my friends had gotten some sort of pasta, as you cannot get their pasta for takeout, only their pizza. I had the cacio e Pepe and it was very good. A little bit different than a traditional cacio e Pepe dish. My friend had gotten the agnolotti and she thought it was very good. The server did say that it was a smaller portion of pasta, but it was about the same as the other dishes. While she was eating her pasta, she found a stick of thyme in the pasta. It was a decent sized stick and she just wanted to make the kitchen aware of it, as she had almost swallowed it. When the manager came over and assessed the stick, they were a little condescending about it. They were telling us it was just a stick of thyme and it was a part of the dish. When my friend pushed the issue further, they felt the need to explain that thyme was a herb and it was no big deal. How they handled the situation just put a sour taste in my mouth. Overall the food here was very good and I also very much want to try the pizza, as they have many different options that all looked good. It was also be nice to try in better weather to fully enjoy the outdoor patio.
Be the first to ReplyOverall, the food was good.
We were seated outside, which is probably fabulous on a warmer, drier evening. The agnolotti was a smaller portion than the other pasta dishes, but still tasty. My one critique is that a friend who also ordered the agnolotti found a stick in her dish. She brought it up to the manager to make him aware, and he said it was the stem of a thyme plant in a manner that felt more dismissive than informative. The interaction was a bit uncomfortable. Overall, the food was good and worth a try.
Be the first to ReplyAvoid this place at all costs.
When inquiring if they carry a specific beer, we were rudely told to read the menu. Waitress was extremely rude. Stingy and overpriced. Fixed menu.
Be the first to ReplyThe service is absolutely awful.
The waitress was extremely rude.. It was not packed in there and they were rushing us to leave. They completely interrupted us mid conversation to tell us our "time" was up, while we were still waiting for half of our party to come back from the bathroom. We were never told there was a time limit. It was a fixed menu and when asked if we could get any dressing on the side the waitress was extremely rude with a condescending tone and attitude. It is very mediocre food. I would never come back or give this place service ever again.
