Alisa wine & friends

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!

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.

Absolutely loved Alice Wine & Friends! This place is a gem on Venice — in the heart of a street packed with restaurants, Alice stands out in the best way. The vibe perfectly fits the spirit of Venice: stylish, relaxed, and full of character. The food is incredible. Every dish is prepared with care, but what really blew me away were the starters and dips — insanely flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. You can tell the ingredients are top-quality, and the flavor combinations are just spot on. It’s the kind of place where you can stop in for a glass of wine and a small bite, or settle in for a full dinner with friends. Great service, great wine list, and a cozy, artistic atmosphere. Highly recommended — Alice Wine & Friends captures the magic of Venice in a truly delicious way.

Alisa is hands down the best Greek food in LA. Every dish we tried was bursting with authentic flavor, beautifully presented, and made with obvious care and high-quality ingredients. But what truly set this experience apart was the impeccable service. My friend has strict gluten-free dietary restrictions, and the staff went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and accommodated. They answered every question with patience, offered thoughtful recommendations, and even double-checked with the kitchen to ensure everything was safe for her to enjoy. Our server, Evan, was incredibly sweet, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. He made us feel like family from the moment we sat down. His warmth and professionalism took the entire experience to another level—we truly felt cared for. If you’re looking for a place that delivers not only extraordinary Greek cuisine but also unforgettable hospitality, Alisa is it. We can’t wait to come back

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.
