Absurd mandatory tip
Avoid exaggerated prices and obligatory tips specified only at the time of the bill. It's not written anywhere and I don't know if it's possible to impose this. Fixed tip of 20%
Be the first to ReplyDelicious food. Very satisfied.
Delicious food and prompt and pleasant service. We had a mix of veggie appetizers (cauliflower, Japanese sweet potatoes, carrots, mushrooms). Muchsrokms and Japanese sweet potatoes were our favorites. My main dish was heirloom squash dish, which was fantastic. I will happily return. It was very busy at 7:30, but empty at 5:30.

Fantastic vibe and imaginative menu. Vegetarian friendly. Great wine options & delicious food. Chanterelle mushrooms were sublime and the scallops were succulent & memorable. Even though it was raining we ate on the beautiful back patio, protected from rain by umbrella & warmed by fire pit. If you can nab a table, do so. You will be delighted.

Amazing, unique flavor combinations. Really great service, awesome atmosphere/ambience, and an overall great foodie experience. We had the roasted fennel, agnolotti, pork chop, and escarole salad. All wonderful! But definitely get the warm date cake for dessert.
Be the first to ReplyPoor and very expensive gastronomic experience
We chose this restaurant because it was close to our hotel and because it was recommended to us by good friends that enjoy nice restaurants. The service and ambience are good but for a restaurant classified in the bib gourmand of the Michelin itinerary the food is quite poor. We ordered three dishes to share between the two of us: a steak tartar (classified as a main course) but which comes without any side dish and only on top of toasted bread (…..). The steak was poorly seasoned (it had no flavor) and was missing, for example: egg yolk, mustard and pickles. Mandatory ingredients in a steak tartare. Furthermore, the meat looked like it had been chopped in a machine and was pasty (which is an insult to a tartare steak, tipically chopped by hand). Additionally, we ordered a seasoned bean dish. Although the beans were of good quality, the seasoning was nothing innovative: parsley and onion with olive oil. The dose is tiny. In other words, it was nothing more than a weak adaptation of the typically Mediterranean (namely, Portuguese) black-eyed peas. Finally we ordered a duck confit. This was good and well seasoned. For these three dishes and two beers we paid 140 dollars including a mandatory 20% tip. I repeat, $140 for three dishes, two of which consisted of a small dose of absolutely basic and uninnovative beans and another of poorly seasoned steak tartare with poorly cut meat. This restaurant being part of the bib gourmand is an insult to other cheaper ones with better service and a Michelin star, such as the fantastic State Birds Provisions in San Francisco.
Be the first to ReplySad really
I wondered if the compulsory 20% service charge would affect the service. It does. Ordered a tuna salad, inedible as it tasted only of salt. Changed for a tomato salad, asked for no salt. Visible salt when it came. Then (afterwards for clarity) I asked the waiter and then the manager for the salad without salt. Reply: we don’t alter any part of the menu. Left hungry. Not the usual American service which deserves a 20% tip.
Be the first to ReplyA classic
A Venice Beach classic. We start with a spectacular Kampachi and then delight us with the burrata and close with a pizza accompanied by cherry tomatoes. Highly recommended.
Be the first to ReplyA great disappointment.
A great disappointment. We were recommended this restaurant. The waiters were nonchalant and generally grumpy. Ordered tartare which was served on black toasted bread. Smallest possible portion. Got lukewarm water without ice. Got a bill with a default 20% tip. Completely incomprehensible that they got such good reviews - maybe they have reviewed themselves?
Be the first to ReplyRude Staff
Delicious food but very rude staff. Unhelpful. Abrupt. Feels like they are doing you a favour. Add 20% compulsory gratuity with worst service we’ve had in LA.
Be the first to ReplyGood Food Bad Service
I had al albacore salad and meat balls. The food tastes really good. The decor is weared. Alternative . The negative side is the service: waiters are arrogant, feel untitled and treat you like you are nothing. The fact the restaurant automatically adds 20p cent to the bill for service might be one of the reasons of the poor service: should the waiters tips depend on the satisfaction of the customer they would probably behave differently….
Be the first to ReplyExcellent and tactful service
Stopped at Gjelina for lunch. One member of our group has significant dietary restrictions and couldn’t find anything on the menu (esp as there are no substitutions). She ended up going down the street for her meal while we ordered. She came back with her take out box and joined our table. I was expected Gjelina to have a problem with that. Instead they thoughtfully provided her with utensils and salt. Classy.
Be the first to ReplyVery good food marred why terrible service
We had a late afternoon brunch Saturday here. We had a 145pm reservation and arrive early and were quickly seated...that was the last of the good service. First getting a waitress' attention took 15 minutes...then a simple glass of wine another 15 minutes. Finally after sitting down for nearly 35 minutes, we put our orders in. I mentioned that they could bring it out as it was prepared. We order a lamb burger (very good), lemon pancakes (good), cheese pizza (ok) and a lamb sausage pizza (good.) We also ordered a side of fries. I was thinking the pancakes would come out first then pizza than burger and fries. Nope...fries by themselves came out 25 minutes later, then cheese pizza 5 minutes later, followed by a 10 minute wait for the pancakes. I then wait for a full 50 minutes from when I order a pizza to get it. Only apology by the surly staff: our kitchen is very busy. If I hear again from some manager that they do not have enough staff to cook or serve, then hire more or accept less reservations. I would skip this place. Staff has a bad attitude and since it is a 20% automatic tip, they don't give a crap about service.
Be the first to ReplyMediocrity on a good day
It’s an average pizzeria charging Michelin prices for absolute mediocrity. It’s 3x the price for the equivalent in Europe with rushed annoying service. The wine is a total rip off. And they entitle themselves to 20% service charge. The $160 bill for two would be $60 in the real world.
Be the first to ReplyDisappointing !!
Visiting from UK we had been recommended to dine here, what a disappointing experience. Dark needed phone to read menu. We ordered dandelion salad very small portion but tasty. Goats cheese pizza and fries the pizza was tasty but fries where ordinary no taste. The service was very poor no one checked how we were doing, we actually had to request a desert menu . We ordered deserts we waited about 40 minutes actually chased them up still nothing, so we cancelled them. Then waiter showed up with deserts we explained we had cancelled them, he then showed his real colours was very rude, and wanted us to have them, when we declined he said well what am I going to do with them put them in the trash !! Furious he took them away. The server them slammed the bill down unfortunately we had to pay 20% service charge for this less than average meal and terrible service. Awful experience!
Be the first to ReplyDate night!
My partner and I visited this restaurant as a recommendation from a friend! It did not disappoint, we got sat straight away on a Friday night, the waiters where attentive and got us water and drinks straight away. They also talked through the menu and wine list very well and helped us pick some fab dishes. The food was great, the wine was great and the waiters where very friendly. Would recommend as a nice date night as it can be quite expensive depending on how hungry you are!!!!
Be the first to ReplySensational in every way
Not enough superlatives to describe our dining experiences. The food was sublime, the service exemplary plus a Fabulous wine list to explore all served up in a truly tranquil and laid back atmosphere. After lunch and shopping on Abbot Kinney we returned for a few wines. The place was buzzing. We couldn’t stay away and visited several times during our Venice stay.
Be the first to ReplyVery tasty food and great service
Very nice restaurant located a bit away from the beach in Venice. Great and creative high quality food. Wine menu a bit limited. Service very professional, considerate, and family friendly. Will definitely come back.
Be the first to ReplyGood food, terrible experience
The food was good, but everything else about my experience at Gjelina was terrible. I booked a table a month in advance and when we got there (on time), they made us wait 30 minutes for a table. The hosts were rude about us checking in, not once was there an apology, not once were we offered a drink while we waited or to even look at a menu. When we were eventually lead to a table, they seated us on the street side patio completely away from the restaurant. So not only were we seated 30 minutes after the reservation time that I made a month ago, We didn’t even get to experience the atmosphere of the restaurant. The food was delicious, but it was nowhere near special enough to make everything else worth it.
Be the first to ReplyBad experience
Everyone suggested i should try this fancy and popular restaurant in my visit in LA. The table wait was very long. The table was miserable. I asked to the waitress to suggest to me the best salad and she brought to me a large bowl with lettuce. I remembered from the menu that they had croutons in another salad so i asked her if she could bring me some croutons to add to the large lettuce salad as i didn’t imagine eating just lettuce for dinner. The waitress answered to me in a very arrogant way that they keep their dishes pure and the only extra thing she could bring me to put to my salad was ketchup and mayonnaise :/ nothing else to say.
Be the first to ReplyPrice/value not OK
As a family of 4, we ordered today on Aug first, 2 times the prawns, pork ribs, a pizza, 2 frites and corns. The pizza was black burned (which restaurant can’t prepare a decent pizza today?), we had to order an additional pork rib for my son of 16 (ridiculous how small that portion was for $32), the prawns were too hot to peel when they were presented on that oven plate, it was really not a pleasant family experience, combined with a too high price.
Be the first to ReplyWhat a fabulous place to spend a holiday afternoon
Never having been to this restaurant the only time to get a table was in the afternoon. We had a wonderful time sitting on the patio eating amazing salads and pizza. Such unusual flavors in both the pizza and the salads. We topped it off with a crumble. I was a bit upset there were no fries available. It is also expensive.
Be the first to ReplyOverrated, salty food with an ATTITUDE
The menu was mind boggling with way too many options & service staff was not too happy to answer your questions about them. For people with dietary concerns, THEY WOULD NOT MODIFY YOUR FOOD FOR YOU. Food took a long time to be served & the portions were miserly. It was also very salty. The meatballs tasted like it was coated in salt & the pizza was very hard. maî·tre d'hô·tell had an attitude. They would not seat you till all the entire party arrives even though the driver took a while to find parking after dropping us off. Even if you were to tell them that you are hungry, they actually asked you to grab a pizza from their deli next door. Horrible Food, Bad Service, Highly Overrated!
Be the first to ReplyOne of the good lunch in Venice, CA
The place is new and modern. Food was good, we had grilled artichoke, pizza and juices. Bar and table are well decorated with woods and gives rustic feels. Drinks were ok. A lot of people during lunch eventhough it was weekdays.
Be the first to ReplyNot worth the hype
I went for lunch with my two best friends hoping for the experience everyone raves about, but sadly that was not the case. We ordered the chicken liver pate to share and it was heaped like a can of cat food on a small piece of toast. While there were 3 pieces of pate toast, it was nearly impossible to eat due to the disproportionate amount of pate on the toast. We also had the smoked trout salad. While delicious, the portion was ridiculously small. And speaking of ridiculously small, I ordered their version of an Aperol spritz which filled less then a quarter of the wine glass it was served it (see picture below). We also had two pizzas, one which was great (artichoke and burrata) but the other mixed mushroom pizza was dry and tasteless. The service was slow, inattentive, and disorganized. Perhaps the servers would be more attentive if the restaurant wasn’t automatically tacking a 20% tip onto your bill. How is Gjelina still listed on the LA Times top 100 list?
Be the first to ReplyThey did not let us know about the included tip in our account
We have been in this restaurant years ago. This time, it was at the beggining on March. We ate there and in the moment of the payment they directly charge the tip:20%!!. We ask manager to leave our own tip but She refused. She said that it was houses rules so we ask again because this was not in the menu. They did not let us know about this automatically charged when we order. We did not want to argue more with her so we paid. But definetly, WE WILL NEVER COME BACK TO THIS RESTAURANT.
