The Best New Restaurants In Las Vegas - Las Vegas - The Infatuation

"The first Vegas location of this Venice Beach staple opened in The Venetian’s Restaurant Row, and it’s just as good as the original—despite what protective Californians might want you to believe. This place hits you over the head with fresh produce, and a menu that promises everything local, seasonal, and organic “whenever possible.” Sure, that concept isn’t as revolutionary as it was in 2008, but grilled oyster mushrooms brushed with tarragon butter, and the famous sourdough pizzas, are timeless (and the server will happily guide you through the lengthy menu if it’s your first time). The low-lit, rustic room makes for a great date night, but to avoid the crowds—and the higher noise levels—go for brunch or lunch and ask for a table by the windows so you can watch the conventioneers and tourists pass by." - emmy kasten

This is a newer addition to the Venetian restaurants. They are between Delmonico and Yardbird along restaurant row. The ambiance is romantic with subdued lighting with a task light and candles on each table. Sustainably is key with a farm to table ethos. We came on a quiet Monday night about an hour before closing and we were seated immediately (ten minutes before our reservation). Our server Christian was very helpful and made sure we had water to drink and answered all our questions about the menu. We started with a small Cesar Salad that was larger enough for us to share with large fresh romaine lettuce leaves. For our entrees we had the Lamb Chops, the Pork Chops and the Japanese Sweet Potatoes: All the food was excellent. The lamb and pork was flavorful and the sweet potatoes were amazing. Definitely a five star restaurant that we I'll be returning to on our next Vegas trip.

Gjelina. It had been 11 years since I last ate at the Abbot Kinney location in Venice Beach. I remember how I really engjoyed the meal. Alas, a lot of time has passed and while I moved on to try many different and fantastic restaurants, Gjelina was stuck in the past. Some things should stay buried in the past, like a fond memory. Unfortunately, Gjelina decided to open up in my new back yard. The wife and I made a reservation and headed to The Venetian. Speaking of The Venetian, I remember when parking was free. It still is free for locals but only for 3 hours and only if there are no special events. Meh. Strike One: From the get go I was annoyed. I explained to the hostess with the tablet that we had a reservation. She said okay and then we were seated at a communal table. Sorry, but that is some bs and so I explained that no, I wanted a table. They moved us to a table but her body language was anything but friendly. Strike Two: Gjelina adds an automatic 20% gratuity. This includes parties of one or two. This could explain why the service was poor. They already get 20% guaranteed. My server was not cordial, did not explain any specials, and was gjust mediocre. Strike Three: The food was not impressive. You can write all the cookbooks you want. The food gjust doesn't get the gjob done. We ordered the pork chop and all I could think of was the pork chop at Farmstead in St Helena. The orecchiette was a brown mess with a glob of whipped ricotta that looked more like a TV dinner. Should've gjust gone to Esther's Kitchen in the Art's District. Also, they charge for the bread which isn't that great either. Strike out. Gjelina, no wonder you are rated 3.5 stars for your Venice location. Sorry but you only get two for the Venetian location. What an utter disappointment.

Gjelina is a great addition to Venetian. It's more like a farm to table concept with many vegetable dishes. Their vegetable dishes really shine. There are too many interesting choices to choose from and the dishes are more like family style size, not tapas. The menu online isn't exactly what's on the printed menu so be aware. The pastas on the other hand were just ok. The ricotta gnocchi with sunchokes is great if you love rich, creamy dish but we found the gnocchi to be heavy with the creamy béchamel sauce and all that ricotta. The saffron spaghetti with bottarga was a miss. The pasta was perfectly al dente but all I could taste was the superfluous amount of acidic oven dried tomato sauce. You couldn't even see the shavings of bottarga nor taste it. The lamb chops were tender and well cooked but wish it came with at least some side dish other than a half grilled lemon. Service was excellent and our server Caleb made sure we left happy. The spaghetti didn't come out too hot so I asked if it could be microwaved for a minute or so but he insisted that another one be made. Definitely an experienced server. Empty plates were quickly cleared and our cups always refilled with water. I would definitely try again but next time I would like to stick with more vegetable dishes and try their pizza as they have some interesting options.

My friends and I decided to dine here and it did not disappoint. Reservations are highly recommend. Thank you David for arranging the reservation for us. Our server, Oliver, was very nice and attentive. Our drinks were perfectly made and I was very pleased with my Okd Fashioned. Food: Pickled Vegetables Hamachi with Black Garlic, Sesame, Lemon Truffle Pizza Orcchiette Beef Cheek Bolognese Cacio e Pepe Wow!!! What a wonderful and delicious dinner. The pickled vegetables was an added touch to cleanse our palate. The Hamachi was so tasty. Actually, all the dishes were yummy. If anything which I usually enjoy, the cacio e pepe was my least favorite. Still good. Overall, a memorable night spent with lovely friends, strong drinks and delicious and flavorful dishes.

I came with a bachelorette party as a last minute pivot since Lavo screwed up our reservation, and I'm glad we pivoted! The food was delicious and service was really great. I had the duck hash, crispy egg with prosciutto, and the escarole salad. All the other girls really loved their items as well.

Great restaurant, the food is very good. Salads are BIG and fluffy (like the Radicchio salad), especially like the Ricotta Gnocchi entree. Great oysters. The Seabass MAY be a bit fishy, have had it twice now. Service is generally fast but one time when seated at the bar on a Friday early evening it took an hour and a half to get my entrees after relatively fast service on the appetizer and salad. I complained directly to the manager who did not apologize and said he would "look into it" - after another half hour finally my entrees were served (Ricotta Gnocchi and Seabass). After that experience I was not going to return ever, but I did - and the next time, at lunch, the service was fine. They will not do take out, but if you sit down, order and package yourself, that functions the same.

We made a reservation here because we saw that the restaurant served farm-to-table meals. We checked in and were seated promptly near the large windows, which was great for observing and people watching. We ordered the white pizza with sauce on the side, the sea bass, and the root vegetables with mole sauce. I think our most favorite thing was the pizza, which had delicious cheese and also the sauce on the side was great. Our least favorite thing was the vegetables in mole sauce because the mole tasted more like a spicy curry that was too overpowering and should be described that way on the menu since I think of mole as being more subtle. The vegetables also could have been cooked a little longer. My partner enjoyed the sea bass but he thought that the plate was a little on the smaller end with only as small salad as the carbs. I think there was a mixup with our servers since we were told that we would get one server but then Christian ended up taking over but he was great at getting us in and out and helping us with our orders. It was just a little confusing though since we didn't know who to flag down for the check. But the staff is super helpful and checked in on us, grabbing our plates and making sure we were okay. I like that the automatic 20% gratuity is split among all staff because it is true they all contribute. Happy that these sorts of restaurants serving fresh food exist.

This is exactly what Vegas needs more of - farm-to-table, intentional dining. If you are a fan of large, heavy, bulky meals then this place is not for you. As an LA native, I am ashamed I haven't been to their Venice location! The restaurant itself is beautifully designed, contemporary but chic. The dining tables near the windows give it an indoor/outdoor vibe with plenty of people watching. Service was great although we went around rush hour so it took some time between orders to catch our server. The menu is designed to be family-style. We ordered the kampachi, a beet burrata salad, Brussels sprouts, and pork chops. I have to preface this by saying I do not eat pork chops but this was so decadent and hearty. The flavors of the greens, garlic, and sweet potato went so well with the perfectly cooked meat. 10/10 dining experience for me. I can't wait to be back!

I was walking at the Venetian last week and stumbled on this restaurant. I was able to speak with the manager, David Reynolds, and he gave me a tour of this restaurant. I was loving the ambience and that they have 2 private rooms. Definitely aesthetically pleasing and told him I would be back. I'm back with a few of my girlfriends and Gjelina did not disappoint at all. Although he was not working, David was kind enough to make sure we felt welcome. We were offered our first drink on the house. Oliver was a great waiter. He took care of us and gave us lots of attention during the dinner. We ordered 5 dishes to share and each were fantastic. All of us raved on the service and the food all night long. Pricing was not bad at all. Truffle Mushroom pizza is a must though. We ended the dinner with a comped dessert as well. We were definitely spoiled last night. And I will definitely come back and will recommended this restaurant.

We usually love all the restaurants at the Restaurant Row in the Venetian. The menu looked great and we were excited to try it. Hugh disappointed! We should have know better by the lack of patrons. After we were seated and ready to order, we were informed they had a waterline issue earlier and hadn't been signed off to serve water. No coffee, tea, soft drinks, water. Alcohol and juices were offered and bottled water. You would think they would offer bottle water for free. In hindsight we should have gotten up and walked out ( our bad). We ordered the Blueberry lemon buckwheat pancakes and crispy fried eggs with prosciutto. The pancakes were drowning in blueberry compote, way too much. The eggs dish was ok. Mediocre food. Since it was so slow our serve made friends with a table near us and spent her time conversing with them. She didn't have to fill water glasses( haha ) .

Gjelina, coming from the heart of Venice bringing clean produce forward meals to Las Vegas. Gjelina has a no modification policy to make sure you get the true experience of the dish & I can appreciate that and love the integrity behind that. The cocktails were amazing and didn't leave a headache, pricing is nice for the Las Vegas strip!

The services was good Oliver took care of us and was very nice. The place was clean. The waiter would come by and refilled your water. We ordered several dishes to share. We got the hamachi, pickle veggies, mushroom truffle pizza, orecchiette pasta, cacio e Pepe, a few drinks and the bread pudding dessert. I like how everything is from farm to table. My two favorite are the mushroom pizza and the orecchiette pasta. I will be back. Thank you Oliver and Davis for a wonderful dinner.

Although Travis Lett hasn't been involved since before the pandemic Gjelina continues to do "farm-to-table" California fare in an honest way, the recent opening of Gjelina Las Vegas filling the space of a prior bar at The Venetian with seasonable Vegetables, Pizzas and Proteins from local farms. Described as "New American," a footprint easily twice the size of that in Venice sporting light woods and a central Bar, guests are seated at spotlit tables where charming servers are happy to make suggestions from a menu divided into four sections. Quite unlike the usual "Strip Restaurant," a well-priced wine and cocktail list focused on small producers complimenting plates focused on Produce, a natural Orange from Hungary proved well-suited to light starters such as organic Bok Choy grilled and seasoned as well as springy Oyster Mushrooms in Tarragon Butter. Yet another Venetian/Palazzo spot offering Pizza and Pasta, though all Gjelina's Pies come from a lengthy-fermented Sourdough starter, cured Chorizo shines as housemade Pepperoni while Orecchiette with Beef Cheek Bolognese outpaces "Chitarra" that looks not hand-cut, but extruded. Definitely a grown-up Restaurants, a Sweet Potato with Charred Scallion Yogurt sloppy but tasty, look to the thick-cut Pork Chop dressed seasonally for a rare deal and don't forget Dessert, though telling staff it was a guest's birthday saw no celebration of any form both the Sticky Toffee Pudding and Pistachio Chocolate Tart were very good.

If you're looking for simple crowd friendly food with a great environment this is a good place to come to with friends or a work gathering. Ordered the roasted brussel sprouts with walnuts & a chili lime dressing to start with. The brussel sprouts were good had a tangy bite to it with a nice crunch from the walnuts. The sunchokes came late after the entrees but once they finally got there they were interesting. Deep fried with a herb green goddess dressing. Never had a sunchoke before but they had the texture of a potato cauliflower hybrid Next we had the lamb burger, the Gruyère pizza with caramelized onions, white cheese and arugula topping and the gnocchi with mushrooms (off menu special) 2 of the 3 were good, the side vegetables with the burger were pickled peppers with a spicy kick that balanced nicely with the lamb burger but I wish I got the fries instead. The gnocchi was the worst of the three bland boring and under seasoned the portion was tiny. All in all I would go back with friends for pizza with cocktails . Everything else was ok, with seemingly healthy farm to table ingredients I didn't feel guilty eating the dishes, but everything seemed to lack the wow factor.

Dinner at Gjelina at The Venetian was a whole vibe. Clean, sophisticated aesthetic? Check. Impeccable service? Double check. It felt elevated without trying too hard, like that effortlessly chic friend who just gets it. Great food, good energy, and a menu that really lets the ingredients shine. We started with the Mixed Market Greens, crisp and herbaceous with a bright Meyer lemon vinaigrette that practically screamed, "I'm fresh!" Paired with the Roasted Oyster Mushrooms, soaked in tarragon butter and kissed with lemon, it was an earthy-meets-bright combo that (as the kids say) absolutely slapped. The Beet vegetable mix was another standout: creamy burrata, sweet Fuji apples, crunchy seeds, and toasted sourdough all playing beautifully together like a flavor symphony. For mains, the Orecchiette with Beef Cheek Bolognese was hearty and comforting, while the Cacio e Pepe kept things simple and peppery with just the right bite. The Guanciale pizza isn't for the faint of palate: it's bold, quite a bit salty, and spicy thanks to the olives and chiles. Meanwhile, the Beef Tartare was fresh with just the right pop of citrus to tie it together. The wine selection? A+, with a balanced and diverse lineup that paired beautifully with everything we ordered. We finished with the Pistachio Chocolate Tart: rich, nutty, and sweet without being clingy. Fresh ingredients, killer flavors, a beautiful setting, and warm, attentive service. Already planning my next visit.

In Sin City where it's all about glitz and excess - Gjelina is an oasis of simplicity and good food. After a whole week in Vegas, I was vibing with allll the vegetable options and that their bar program reflects their the philosophy - lots of small batch, interesting brands that aren't your usual! We stopped here for a lite lunch and our server was great with recommendations. We ended up having: *Beet, Sourdough Panzanella, Burrata, Toasted Seeds, Frisée, Fuji, Apple Cider Vinegar - this salad was so so good! super flavorful with golden beets and all the textures! *Frites, Harissa Aioli - look, I'm a Heinz girly and usually am not into ANY other catsup, but damn - Gjelina's is good! I was worried that the fries were a bit pale looking (aka under fried), but I enjoyed them! *Cappelletti Spritz - our server joked that it was like an aperol but without the Red40. I laughed BUT I mean it was really good - so good that I ordered for pick up at my local liquor store upon my return. It's less sweet than Aperol. It's kind of like Aperol and Campari had a wine-based baby. *Because I liked the Cappelleti so much, I had the bar tender make me an Americano - usually made with campari but the Cappelleti was perfect in it! All in all a great meal - you will pay Vegas prices here at Gjelina in the Venetian though!

Gjelina is such a great choice at any time of day or night, that we came here twice in one day. An early breakfast to beat any crowds, & then a 3pm lunch when they are on their in between (3-5pm) menu. Breakfast: Banana bread - warmed & lightly toasted, served w/a pear butter & butter butter. Perfect sweetness, great toasted texture. Duck Hash - a runny fried egg topped a generous portion of potatoes, bell pepper & duck chunks. A decent dish but blown into last place by the other things we tried. Soft scrambled eggs - w/chives, & served w/a great slice of thick fresh sourdough, this was very good Maple bacon - THE star of breakfast. 4 thick slices of maple-shiny, smokey bacon that made us eye roll with each bite bc it was that good. Lunch: Market Salad - a large, lightly lemony vinaigrette-dressed assortment of beautiful greens, with a side of crispy-skinned chicken breast/wing section added for protein. Loved this! Pomodoro pizza - add burrata? Yes please! Served w/a dish of dried herbs, parm, & red pepper piles to add as we wanted. Topped with melty burrata & a simple tomato sauce, this thin crust pizza had a nice char & a good balance of crisp & chewy textures. The 3-5pm menu has a nice selection of oysters, crudo, charcuterie, salads & pizzas. They were apologetic about the small menu, but imo these choices represent some of must trys here. So you miss the lunch AND the dinner crowd, & you get to try their great wood fired pizzas. Win-win! Gjelina is always yummy, & the service gracious & top notch. They deserve the automatic gratuity added to all the bills. Highly recommend.

Had cheese pizza and mushroom Pizza 100% delicious. Also had their ceasar and beet salad again 100% delicious. They made very good drinks too. For 4 people we each had our own pizza and salad, pizza was great for leftovers after the sphere show. Bill was close to $350 for 4 with 5 drinks

Great service and ambiance for sure. Located in restaurant row between the Venetian and Palazzo. The star of the show is the quality. Great quality farm fresh food you can't beat anywhere. Our amazing server Lizeth went through the menu items with us and made some delicious suggestions. We tried the beef tartar (wow) the ricotta gnocchi (melts in your mouth) and the pomodoro pizza with burrata (full of flavor). All were spectacular! Come here when you're in vegas, otherwise it's your loss.

The food here was phenomenally good! Heard this place newly open in Vegas after other locations in LA and New York! The beet salad here was absolutely amazing, unlike anything I've ever had before! The service was also amazing. Our waiter was so attentive, and the food came so fast and he also made great recommendations. The ambiance is nice. We had lunch here on a Monday and there weren't too many people. I am for sure coming back again for the beets salad!

Love that there's a new addition to the Venetian/Palazzo restaurant row. Great price point. This is one of the few restaurants where the service exceeded the food. This is a produce forward, sustainable foods concept restaurant. However, something about the way the food is seasoned and/or cooked doesn't leave you the "taste" of freshness and brightness I was expecting -- salad was overdressed, soup was oily, mushrooms very smoky. The best dish we had was the dry-aged ribeye. I need to come back and try a few more dishes to see if I can give this restaurant 5*.

Soooo delicious! I'd eaten at the Venice location years ago and was surprised and happy to see that a Las Vegas location had opened up recently. We made it a point to dine here and it was so worth it! Delicious pizzas with melt in your mouth burrata and one of the best sticky toffee pudding desserts we've ever enjoyed (and we've eaten a LOT of them!). The ginger chantilly cream was ambrosia! Friendly staff and lovely decor. Highly recommend!

Make SURE to read the details when you get your check at the end of the meal!!!They charge for ICE!! Not an extra special big ball/ cube, a regular drink on the rocks and they do not disclose that. Every other restaurant and cocktail we had had in our weeklong stay we had never been charged for ice in a vodka on the rocks with a squeeze of lime. We ordered their margarita pizza, which comes with Buratta on it, (as stated on the menu. ) When we got our bill there was another line item for buratta cheese?!? Even though the pizza is supposed to come with it . The pizza was not covered with it, so this wasn't something we had that would've been additional. There were a few splotches like it always is when you order a margarita pizza. They tried to tell us that we asked for extra, which is complete BS. They wouldn't remove any of it from the bill. Then they started arguing with us. We felt scammed! My background is hotel and restaurant management, and I truly was appalled by the service!! Oh, if you don't like the service, there's a mandatory 20% they add onto your meal. So there is no repercussion for bad service. I will never go back. There are so many better restaurants in the Venetian with much better service. Plus, the food was meh.

It's an easy review. Do not waste your time or money. My wife found the place several weeks ago and we made a reservation as we were both excited to see what they offer. We went early so as not to be rushed prior to our later show. 5pm, not even a quarter of the seats filled. We arrived in time, were seated and remained there unattended to for over 30 minutes while the other patrons around us were served. We didn't even have a drink order in yet. We tried to get someone's attention and after that failed we left. When we left I informed the floor manager and his response was to run off and ask a server what's going on. Not we are sorry or please wait. We didn't even get a bye thank you from the host stand. Very fortunately we found another place on Saturday night. Nevertheless the experience was one of the worst dining out we've had in a while, for context food poisoning level. They failed the basic tenant of hospitality, be hospitable and in a town with high standards. I'm interested in seeing what replaces this place in a year when it folds. Can't really review food on taste but what we saw looked pretty generic after all. They also have a strict no alterations policy apparently. Probably because they can barely operate as is.

Gjelina caught our eye as the new restaurant in the Venetian with a more sustainable attitude towards their food. We spent 7 days in Vegas and ate out every meal. This was by far the worst experience of all the meals. The front of their menu states "A 20% MANDATORY service charge will be added to your check. Our belief is every hourly Gjelina employee contributes to your experience and 100% of MSC will be distributed amongst them." Wasn't happy about the forced gratuity but expected to get excellent service. That also tells me they aren't paying their staff enough for the prices they are charging. Dishes: #1 Roasted Root Vegetables, Mole. This was good, but just carrots in mole sauce. We enjoyed it and the mole was more like a delicious curry. #2 Roasted Oyster Mushrooms, Tarragon, Butter, Lemon. We loved the idea that the mushrooms were grilled to get a smokey flavor, but this dish was awful. The mushrooms were burned on the outside (not roasted). The grill was too hot, and the mushrooms tasted like charcoal. Not much taste of butter or Tarragon. See photo of how burned it was. #3 Barley & Roasted Vegetable Soup. This was very salty and when we asked the waiter if they could make it any less salty, the response was "no, you can choose something else." He then picked up the soup and took it away without even asking. We didn't even get a chance to say if we wanted to eat it. 5 minutes later came back, dropped a menu off and asked us to choose something else. At least they didn't charge us for the soup that they just took away. #4 Half Roasted Chicken, Winter Green, Pan Sauce. The chicken was amazing. Some of the most tender chicken we have ever eaten. They were somehow able to turn a usually dry and bland chicken breast into a magically juicy and flavorful piece with nice crispy skin. We thoroughly enjoyed the chicken portion. The winter greens, however, tasted like a cow had chewed them and spit them back up on the plate. We couldn't eat more than a bite. The Pan Sauce was good, but more like a soup on the dish. #5 Orecchiette, Beef Cheek Bolognese, Whipped Ricotta. This dish was the highlight of our meal. We were all marveling at the deep tomato and beef flavor they managed to create while also having a nice creamy ricotta dollop on top to balance out the dish. After we finished, our server came over and asked us why we didn't eat the wintergreens, in which we responded that they just didn't taste good. He sent the manager over and asked us about our entire meal. We provided candid feedback about what we liked and didn't like. It's the only way a new restaurant can fix things. #6 Sticky Toffee Pudding with Gellato on top. After providing feedback, the manager offered to comp our dessert. When it arrived the first bite of the edge was a bit warm with the cold of Gellato. After the first bite, we thought it was the gelato making things cold, but the pudding was hard and cold on the inside. Difficult to use a spoon to take a bite. These were obviously made ahead of time, stored in a fridge and not properly re-heated. It was comparable to a cold dense hockey puck. You know a dish is bad when it's comped and you can't eat more than a bite. After abandoning the dessert, we just wanted to pay the bill and get out of there. Now on to the "excellent" service and wait staff... They provide very small water glasses. Anyone that goes to Vegas on a regular basis knows you need to drink a lot of water. They were challenged to keep our water glasses full. At one point I held up my empty water glass for almost 5 minutes. Our waiter walked by, noticed this and headed straight into the kitchen. Shortly after they busboy came out and refilled our waters. I asked if they had any larger glasses and was told no. They did bring out larger glasses later. One of the staff clearing the table behind us stacked dishes too high. The dirty silverware fell off, hit my wife's shirt and fell to the ground. Accidents happen, but this just shows the skill level of the staff there. They weren't quite sure what to do and tried to apologize. Nothing from anyone after that. The waiter Matt started out good, describing the dishes, but went downhill fast. Especially after asking about the saltiness of the soup. We rarely saw him after that. They started good about clearing plates, silverware, etc. Almost too fast. When my son said he wasn't quite done with his food, they left it. He finished eating the food on the plate, but nobody came around again to clear the plate. Even after he put silverware on the plate and set it to the side of the table. Nobody cleared it until they brought our dessert. Normally wouldn't be an issue, but when you go from the staff waiting to take plates as soon as you eat your last bite, to leaving a dirty plate...you notice. At this point, my feeling is this overall restaurant is mis-managed and improperly staffed.

Veggies done right and with thought and care! I also love that the plates are small so you can try more things! Definitely worth a visit or two :)

This restraint will over charge you every step of the way, including $3 for ice in your drink and charges for extra cheese on our pizza, while we never asked for it. You will also have to pay a mandatory 20% gratuity whether or not the service is great, good, bad or horrible. Upon disputing the $12 extra charge, the beyond arrogant manger Rico blamed it on the restaurant's policy. I will never go back and hope no one who reads this review.

Yelp
Pretty good meal but they charge you for ice in your drink without telling you. I have never seen this in 30+ years of dining. Pretty royally irked me, and I don't often return to restaurants that I think are trying to rip me off. Hope they enjoy the $10 extra bucks they made on their ice surcharge. They also append 20% AFTER you've paid, don't tell you about it, and it isn't labeled as a gratuity. It felt pretty deliberately misleading. We will not be returning, and want management to know that it is solely because of their attempts to sketchily take additional money from customers

At first I was excited Gjelina opened in Las Vegas, since the one in Venice is amazing. However, I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. Despite the place being nearly empty, the service was non-existent. The staff made eye contact but never approached to take an order. After waiting a while and receiving no attention, I decided to walk out. It's a shame, as the atmosphere seemed nice, but the lack of service was a deal-breaker.

Hands down the best restaurant in Las Vegas. I haven't lived in the U.S. long and have been struggling to find the freshest food here, I was recommended by a friend to go to Gjelina especially because of their produce, which they have delivered fresh from out of town daily! Such care and dedication. The ambience is beautiful, the servers are knowledgeable and super friendly and seem genuinely passionate about the place. My fave dishes were the side of mushrooms and the lamb. I never really care to write reviews but I just had to for Gjelina!! Couldn't recommend this restaurant enough. Only negative is that I can't go every day. Love, love, LOVE. Thank you.

What a wonderful dining experience! When we first walked in the restaurant we noticed the modern chic design of the dining area along with a more relaxed ambience. The staff was attentive, personable and made excellent food recommendations for us. We had an assortment of dishes, all of which were very flavorful. My top dishes were the oyster mushrooms, roasted brussel sprouts, and the chorizo pizza. I am not a huge brussel sprout fan, but Gjelina's may have restored my palette for brussels. The mushrooms were divine with the tarragon butter and a little zest from the lemon. Probably my personal favorite dish. It doesn't hurt that I love mushrooms and this was probably the best I've had. The chorizo pizza was fairly light and clean with nice thin, well done NY style crust. Just the way I like it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Las Vegas that enjoys clean, fresh, farm to table food. My hat is off to the excellent staff at Gjelina, from the GM to the wait staff. We had a first class experience and look forward to dining there again soon!

Absolutely fantastic food! We stopped here en route to the Sphere and had the best meal during our time in Vegas! (Try the beet salad, meatballs and choco/pistachio tart!!) Richard at the bar has a perfect palette and Brian is sweetly solicitous! Don't miss this spot... the food and staff are TOP NOTCH!

Pizza was good, but when the bill came, there was a 20% service fee added. That's fine when it's a big party and they let you know tip will be added, but there were two of us. Seemed sketchy.

My wife and I went for our Anniversary. Freddy was our server and was amazing. We had the Hamchi, beet salad, chorizo pizza, mushrooms and ribeye. The beet and mushrooms hands down our favorite bold flavors and excellent service. We finished the night with the apple cobbler and bubbles. Great new spot to check out in Vegas!

Great service. Best pork chop I've ever had. The manager made us a special non-alcoholic drink for our 50th anniversary.

Service was awful. The food was terrible. And the server threatened my husband when my husband tapped him on his shoulder to get his attention. We were a party of 7 and our meals weren't served at the same time. Very disappointing experience. I would definitely not recommend this eatery.

Brand new restaurant inside the Venetian in Las Vegas. I had the best experience!!! the food is local farm to table and I tell you it was absolutely delicious every single piece of food that we ordered. I absolutely loved excellent service.

Overpriced. Oversalted. Overcooked. Service was awful, got our order wrong multiple times and took forever. Asked for tea, they 'didn't have' and ended up having hot water (how does a restaurant of this caliber not have tea?) hamachi was extremely salty, charcuterie board tasted like it was lifted from Trader Joe's packets, duck confit very underwhelming, soup bland. Tap water was unfiltered and un-iced (they might as well have told us to drink the toilet water). Ended up walking over to Sugarcane directly across for dessert and wish we had chosen it for dinner instead (their service and selection were excellent in comparison). If you're expecting the Los Angeles/Venice quality like we were, please look elsewhere. Extremely disappointing. Do not eat here.

We love Gjelinas. Please open a restaurant in the Dallas Ft Worth area! We ate there 4 times on our February trip and twice last week. EVERYTHING is incredibly delicious and exceeds our expectations. The beet salad is the such an explosion of yummyness! Pizza and pastas are amazing too.

1st time to this newer restaurant for dinner of 6 people. My wife and I shared the RibEye and was throughly dissatisfied. The meal was less than great. Meat was cool and 40 % fat. I realize RibEye is a higher content fat but this was too much. Served like a slab of beef on a plain ungarnished plate. Never going back.

We decided to try this place on a whim since it's relatively new to the Venetian and very glad we did! The food was great and we loved the atmosphere, a bit loud but only because the restaurant was packed. Best Old Fashioned I've had in years too. We went back the next evening just for drinks and had a lovely chat with the bartender. I'd highly recommend.

My fiancé and I really enjoyed our meal at Gjelina! It has a really nice atmosphere with great and attentive service. My fiancé is a big meat eater and I am vegan, so it can be hard to find restaurants where we both are happy. But Gjelina had amazing and unique vegan options but also delicious meat options and appetizers we could both share! The cocktails are to die for and the wine list is super interesting and well thought out. We left full and happy! Can't wait to go back!

Gjelina exceeded all expectations! The pizzas were absolutely amazing--perfectly crisp crust, delicious toppings, and full of flavor. The oysters were incredibly fresh and delicious, a definite must-order. Our party of nine tried a variety of dishes, and everything was outstanding. We loved it so much that we actually went back for brunch, and it did not disappoint! The blueberry pancakes were fluffy and bursting with flavor, and the honey bacon was to die for. Exceptional food, great ambiance, and fantastic service--Gjelina is a place we'll keep coming back to!
