Best Restaurants with a Vibrant Bar Scene in Culver City

The staff was kind and very friendly. The dishes were served with perfect timing. We were able to enjoy our meal deliciously.

This is an exceptional restaurant, particularly for its views on a sunny day. The service is very good and the food was good. I had the lobster roll which was more a lobster burger and my friend, a Cobb salad that was a deconstructed Cobb and not in a good way. The fish appetizers were good. It is quite the scene and the great place to “wow” out of town visitors. I find the $20 valet parking annoying.

Great experience for 17 year anniversary. Andreas was a great waiter and treated us well. Only minor issue was that we got a cocktail with lipstick on the glass. Other than that, the evening was excellent. Will definitely come back!!

Service was on point. Food was exceptionally delicious. We had the mussels, jumbo scallops, and the short ribs. Every dish had excellent flavor. Highly recommend.

New Years Day and we wanted some place that we knew would be fantastic, so where else but Gjelina? It was busy but the hosts and servers were unfailingly polite. We ordered 6 things from the menu. My wife's vegan so she had the vegetable sandwich (she had to fight me for it, it was so good). Brussel sprouts, grilled fennel, and the frites were all great. My son and I split the anchovy and burrata toast - a first for me - and it's my new favorite. Finished with the excellent pomodoro pizza - no cheese and none needed, because the jammy tomato confit is the star of the dish. I love this place. It never lets me down. Happy 2025!
