Alisa wine & friends

Beautiful restaurant with a cozy, stylish interior. We were surprised to wait almost 10 minutes to be seated, especially since the place wasn’t busy at all. That said, once we were in, the experience turned around quickly. Our server was amazing. Super friendly, attentive, and even offered a small wine tasting to help us choose. Big thumbs up for that! The food was excellent. Every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. The wagyu skewer, while delicious, leaned a little on the beefy side for my taste, but that's more of a personal preference than a flaw. Everything else we tried was spot on. Only downside: it got really loud inside, which made conversation hard at times. But still, with great service and delicious food, I'd definitely come back.

Absolutely loved our experience at Alisa Wine and Friends! We tried a variety of dishes from the menu — every seafood item was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the meat was so tender it literally melted in our mouths. The wine selection was outstanding, and our server was super knowledgeable, helping us pick the perfect wine based on our personal preferences. And the frozen yogurt dessert? Unreal. Light, creamy, and full of flavor — the perfect sweet ending to an amazing meal. The service, food, and atmosphere were all 10 out of 10. Can’t recommend this place enough — a true gem in LA!

Food was amazing! If I’m being honest, I had the bar set a little low because photos I’d seen online didn’t look great (even though the reviews were good!). Enjoyed everything we tried. They also have an excellent wine list. Highlights were the dips, meatballs, and Greek yogurt dessert. Super cute spot atmosphere wise. If you’re able to, get a table on the patio. Didn’t see any bar seats so this is definitely more of a sit-down table experience.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. The staff was incredibly attentive without being intrusive, and every detail — from the seating to the timing of the dishes — was perfectly orchestrated. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. But what truly made the evening special was the exceptional service. The team went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and happy throughout our visit. It felt like they truly cared about creating a memorable experience for each guest. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for not just great food, but also a top-tier service experience!

WOW, what an incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, everything felt just right: the warm greeting, beautiful interior, and outstanding food. As a European, I’ve often found LA food to be — dare I say it — overhyped and, more often than not, a bit of a letdown. Style over substance. But here, everything was the opposite. Every dish was beautifully prepared, full of depth, and unmistakably authentic. It instantly brought me back to my vacations in Greece. Not just in taste, but in feeling too. The atmosphere, the thoughtfulness behind every dish, and the kindness of the team made it all feel special. We’re already planning our next visit and would recommend Alisa Wine & Friends without hesitation!

From the moment you step in, this restaurant enchants you with its warm, Mediterranean ambiance and soul-soothing design. Every corner feels curated with love — from the gentle candlelight and textured walls to the elegant niches filled with delicate sculptures. The attention to detail is breathtaking. The food? Absolutely divine. Flavorful, and beautifully presented — every dish felt like a work of art. It’s a celebration of simplicity, quality ingredients, and masterful execution. Dining here feels like stepping into a dream — intimate, soulful, and rich in beauty. A place where every sense is indulged. Highly recommended for those who crave not just a meal, but an experience.

I like the Greek aesthetic beauty, which is the reason I came. I was set at a table that I can only see the wall in the patio. It really just turned me down a little. So if you go, try to sit in the middle of the patio if possible. However I understood that the beautiful host wanted to give me a table in the sun, and I do love sunlight in a cozy afternoon to get some Vitamin D. Some other tables are in the shade. Some are bigger tables. This restaurant also reminded me of Amour Weho. It looked wonderful on social media. Maybe the food don’t speak to me, or the cocktails are too simple to choose. I really did not like my cocktail. There are so many restaurants in LA serving great cocktails. But not here. The food was plain, it just did not get any joy for my tastebud. Maybe I don’t have a Greek stomach. I knew a lot people like me saw the posts— several plates on the tables looking so cute, and elegant. It is actually not delicious to me at all. I don’t have a hate to the owner after all this is a new restaurant. But the worst worst part is the back ground music. All those old like my gramma’s age American music in such a place really really made me want to leave immediately. I was like what the hell? Not saying it has to be a k-pop music, but some trendy music, at least helps to build the vibe based on this atmosphere. I had a huge disappointment, and I also felt cheated by people who did those beautiful posts, but did not expressed anything real. We are fools for social media? Or the cheaters are smart to fool? My opinions are not right for everyone. It was just how I felt. It might be a great place for people who posted, and really loved it. Just not for me. Indoor design is artistic as well, not interesting to me at all. Walking on Abbot Kinney Street is more enjoyable, and there are so many better restaurants on this street.

The dips were great ($9–12 each), but pita wasn’t included, so +$8 per each pita piece felt overpriced. My scallops were large but arrived cold. Our table was cleared without offering dessert (I still regret I didn’t order), and a few orders were mixed up. But to be fair, the staff resolved all issues quickly and with a warm attitude and the hospitality was definitely felt. The outdoor seating had smoky smell from the kitchen a few times. We also paid an extra 4.7% reservation fee for a group of 6, which seems common. Beautiful interior, but overall, the food and prices didn’t quite match. UPDATED: Rebalanced my stars after their reply to my comment. I told you, their attitude is genuinely warm and hospitable! Initially, I saw only glowing comments that felt curated. But to be honest, now I returned to my review and edited the stars.

so excited that something fun has opened in this space. Went on a Thursday night, it was crowded and lively in a great way. Had excellent Greek wine, delicious Greek salad, the flatbread was lovely with the dips that we chose, and the Branzino was beautiful and flavorful. would absolutely go again. Francis took care of us and was fabulous.

only been open for 2 days and I'm so happy we found this place. We love Greek food and are picky for authentic restaurants. It didn't disappoint. We had the Greek salad, spanakopita, eggplant dip, flatbread, monk fish orzo, and chicken skewers. Everything was full of flavor and really tasty. I personally am not a fan of monk fish in general, so my husband mostly had that, but I still tried it and it was perfectly cooked and sooo flavorful. They have delicious shareables and starters that are tapas style. The mains include a vegetarian dish, the monk fish orzo, and then two pricier and larger meals (lamb chops and steak for two) so I will say I think you either stick to a bunch of shareables OR the heavy mains. Would like to see more mains added just to try more of their food, but even if not we still loved it. Bringing my in laws next weekend. The staff was great, we met the owner as well and he was lovely. Will be back!

The food was delicious! The ambience was nice and the vibe was welcoming and professional. It was expensive for the portions though. I wish it was a little more accessible.
