Gjelina is a restaurant that serves locally-sourced, produce-forward food with menus guided by conversations and long-standing relationships with farmers, local ranchers, fishermen, and co-ops. Our first location Gjelina LA in Venice Beach opened in 2008 becoming a staple in the local community. We are currently open for lunch, brunch, and dinner services.
Food was underseasoned, kitchen was focused on speed vs. quality and frankly I could've done a better job with a majority of the dishes that were served. Poor imitation of the LA based restaurant and disappointing given the beauty of the space they designed.
Service was rushed as opposed to warm and I left really upset compared to my standards.
