1429 Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Venice, CA 90291
It was definitely worth the wait to sample some new dishes while strolling along Abbott Kinney Boulevard in Venice, CA. Gjelina had a variety of dishes to choose from -- a vegetable dish were among the few items we set our eyes on. Although a bit disappointed the dandelion, anchovy, parmesan, lemon & breadcrumbs (Gjelina's take of a Cesar Salad) salad was not available, our vegetable choices were not bad at all, most especially the roasted fennel.
I like the casual atmosphere of this place. It had a rustic feel and much to our surprise, there was a back patio to accommodate even more guests as our host took us towards the back. I liked it. And yes, I would definitely return to try the other dishes on the menu and I would recommend this place if ever you're in the area.
