- AAndreaLos Angeles •20 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoIt’s winter, and we had a table by the window. Watched sunset and the beautiful colors in the sky and in the waves. And the sound of the waves added another dimension.  This kind of atmosphere and scenery is rare, and that’s why we would come back. Whereas the food? It’s OK. To us it seemed overpriced for the quality of cooking. For example I had a filet mignon, which was more medium done than medium-rare, not much flavor in the sauce, the mashed potato rather bland. The quality of the meat seemed excellent, very tender, but also that’s spinach was boring and a bit of overcooked. So I think in summary, if you want to come for an atmospheric romantic night and enjoy the scenery, this is the perfect place . The service was wonderful.More infoMoonshadowsPrice: Expensive• American• Malibu•4.6
- DDr. CharlesVIPSt. Louis •378 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoFirst the view of the ocean and the open windows to listen to the waves made the experience so enjoyable. Second, our waiter was delightful. He even asked if we had any allergies to foods. Recommend Dukes for any occasion.More infoDuke's MalibuPrice: Moderate• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Malibu•4.7

- DDavidVIPLos Angeles •22 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2025New 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!More infoGjelinaPrice: Expensive• American• Venice•4.7
