    Seafood tower. Omg so delicious 10/10!!!

    The lobster spaghetti was seriously the bomb! It had the perfect amount of spice, and there was definitely a bite of lobster and shrimp in every forkful. The noodles were cooked to the perfect al dente texture, making every bite absolutely delicious. We also had the seafood tower with hamachi, lobster, jumbo shrimp, and Hokkaido oysters, and it was hands down the best seafood tower we've had in Vegas! Everything was so flavorful, and you could tell just how fresh the seafood was. And I can't say enough about the Caesar salad! The lettuce was out of this world, and the chip croutons were on another level. Not to mention, everything is made in-house, so you know it's fresh and made with care. From the incredible food to the amazing service, this place did not disappoint! Be sure to see Maverick and his crew for some of the best dining service on the Strip. You won't regret it! We'll definitely be back!

    The avocado toast with that burrata!

    REVIEW #1800!! I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it was. I've been to the Venice location and didn't love it - so sceney and more about the experience than the food. But this was really nice. We came for Easter brunch. The hostess asked if we were celebrating anything and that was a bizarre question given that it was Easter morning... off to a weird start. We were shown to one of those ubiquitous banquette booth situations but they were actually spacing people out, which was nice and unusual. Most of the time in Vegas right now, you ARE going to be sitting practically on top of another two-top regardless of how busy the place is. There was a special Easter menu with a handful of interesting options. We started with the deviled eggs, which we are wont to do. Usually, these SOUND great on paper but aren't good in actuality. These beauties were actually delicious, with just the right amount of mustard and a trout roe topping that was fresh tasting and not at all fishy. We ordered off the regular brunch menu for our mains. I chose the avocado toast, which came with a delicious topping of fresh burrata. Burrata for me is hit or miss... if done right, it's wonderful, but most of the time it's cold and flavorless. This was clearly fresh and absolutely made the entire dish. My partner had the fried chicken sandwich, which was also good. But the starter and my avocado toast were the winners. Our server was lovely. Friendly, professional and gave excellent recommendations. This was a nice surprise and we will definitely be having dinner here on an upcoming trip. Approved!

    Market Green Salad
    Denise V.

    Grabbed a group lunch at Gjelina during our stay at the Venetian in Vegas. It was very pretty inside. We ordered a couple items to share for the table. The market green salad was just alright, it needed some flavor or dressing, just something. The Turkey sandwich was really good. The cacio de pepe pasta was also good. The roasted cauliflower was amazing, a favorite of the whole table. Also ordered the ginger lemonade (not pictured) and loved it, very refreshing. Service was really friendly and attentive. A bit on the higher priced side, but it's Vegas.

    Sticky toffee pudding with ginger ice cream.  Amazing!!
    Trish S.

    We decided to try out this restaurant based on it's convenient location (inside our hotel) and the menu. Such an incredible find! The service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was chic comfort. The food far exceeded our expectations. The dessert of Sticky Toffee Pudding with a sharp ginger ice cream was so good it was a much an experience as a dish. Everything was craveable.

    Gjelina in Abbot Kinney has been on my list of places to try forever and was excited to discover they opened a location inside the Venetian. Took the opportunity to head here for a quick lunch during our annual CNY trip. Though we had reservations, we ended up waiting an additional 10 minutes before being seated. Started off with a 2 salads which came out pretty quickly. Both the beet and the arugula salads were tasty and were tossed with the perfect amount of salad dressing. Next out came the orechiette pasta which was just ok in my opinion. Then came both pizzas (chorizo and mushroom) which had the perfect amount of char and blistering but didn't think the dough had much flavor. Thought the chorizo was a tad bit too oily and salty to my liking. The mushroom pizza was the star of the meal. Mashed potatoes were just ok and quite enjoyed the brussel sprouts. Service was spot on and appreciated them expediting our order so that I could head back to the room and finish my afternoon meetings.

    Stopped by Gjelina at the The Venetian Resort Las Vegas before the No Doubt concert and had a great experience. The service was awesome and the drinks were on point. The beet salad was fresh and flavorful, and the mushroom flatbread was a standout. The lobster pasta was good, though the lobster itself was a bit on the salty side. Overall, a solid spot for dinner and cocktails before a show on the Strip.

    Perfect spot before going to the sphere!! They say farm to table and everything is made from scratch.. yeah it is and it makes all the difference. With family in from out of town, they couldn't stop saying it was their favorite meal in Vegas AND it's more than reasonably priced! The service is spectacular too! Every level of it was exceptional and the place was packed. Big shout out to our server Matt with the great mustache. He really made the experience and went above and beyond

    We stopped here for lunch while waiting for our room to be ready. We sat at the bar and were taken care of by Amanda and Jeremy, who were both wonderful, friendly, attentive, and impressively fast with service despite it being a busy time. For food, we ordered the Gruyere pizza and Brussels sprouts, both of which hit the spot. Everything was well-balanced and flavorful without being heavy. To drink, we had a Sancerre white wine and an Aperol, which paired perfectly with the food and made for a light, refreshing lunch. Overall, it was an easy, enjoyable stop. Great service, food, and exactly what we needed to kick off the trip. Would absolutely come back!

    I was staying at Palazzo and I walked by this on the way to the Venetian Casino. I saw that they had a woodfired pizza oven and homemade pasta, so I stopped by. The restaurant itself is usually pretty packed, but there were some open seats at the bar so I sat there. The staff were attentive in the vibe was cozy. I ended up ordering pickled vegetables and the chorizo pizza. The food was excellent, the staff were attentive, and they had a good wine selection that was fairly priced. If you don't wanna go outside the Venetian complex for Italian, this is a great spot. Next time I'm there, I'm going to try the homemade pasta.

    Arugula salad

    Freshest ingredients and wonderful services! We tried Gjelina for the first time after we finished a show at the Venetian. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner and would recommend it to everyone. Located in the Venetian hotel on the restaurant row near the theater, the restaurant offers farm to table fresh ingredients in mainstream American cuisine. When we arrived, the hostess greeted us warmly and we were seated right away. The menu was simple with salad, pizza, homemade pasta, and meat dishes. We ordered the arugula salad, beet salad, and a mushroom truffle pizza to share among us. Serving size was generous and the salad was fresh and light. The pizza had a mild truffle flavor and it was the perfect size for two people. As for the services and ambiance, our service was quick and our waiters were very attentive with our beverages. The dining area is well laid out for intimate date nights and larger party sizes. Our bill came to $75 before tips, which we felt was an excellent value for the meal. I wish they will be expanding the menu to add more fresh fish among the mixes. Highly recommend!

    Crustless cheesecake (could have used a little crust)
    Steve G.

    In a hotel with fantastic food, a place with "good" food also stands out... We made a reservation here because we knew that this place was farm to table. We actually had the roasted chicken, which was pretty darn good and the greens underneath that were even better. We also had the Wagyu beef pasta, which was good, but I hate to say it, was just a little bit like Chef Boyardee pasta. It was good, but maybe the extra tender beef made it feel like it was mushy out out of a can? The crustless cheesecake was a good finish as was the coffee, but both were a bit on the pricey side for what we got. We ate at a number of places at the Venetian hotel, and loved all of them. This place was probably our least favorite, but was still very good. I might check out a couple of the other places along the way. By the way, here's a tip, if you check the Venetian rewards email that you get once you check in, you can get a free drink with the purchase of an entrée. Pretty good Prosecco. We got the same thing at the Greek restaurant nearby where they brought a glass for my wife and I, but here they only brought us the one. Again, a good place to eat, but compared to other places very close to it. It was lacking in service and food quality.

    arugula salad, grilled chicken, goat cheese dip, corn and brocoli.
    Cristina M.

    From the service (10/10) to the food (10/10) and the vibe - it was an excellent experience. Our server, Christian, was super helpful, friendly and personable. We ordered a few sides and the arugula salad with a side of perfectly grilled chicken breast. All of the food was amazing! Highly recommend.

    Arugula salad
    Jessica G.

    Omg those broccolini's were so good! It was like a Caesar salad but crunchier? The shrimp app, omg that sauce was so good I literally soaked up the whole thing with my bread. The service was amazing, my glass was never empty. There was always someone to help me with anything, not just my server. The place was a bit dark, but I'm guessing it was "romantic," it definitely a great first date spot, or just hanging out before going to the sphere. That second one for sure! I'll Definitely be back for seconds!!

    I just made a reservation for your Las Vegas location. Is the automatic 20% service fee that is added to all checks a tip or simply a fee?

    It's consider their tip!

All I remember was going through the casino areas of Paris Hotel, and then going down one floor to the Horseshoe area to reach this bar just minutes before closing on a Friday close to midnight. I quickly grabbed a seat at the bar area and perused the menu, which has a ton of drinks, beers, wines, mocktails and even snacks. Even when close to closing time, patrons filled up all the bar seating which isn't a lot; most seating was couches and tables near the knickknacks. I got myself the Bee's Knees, which is cranberry and pineapple juice, apple puree, cinnamon fire syrup and some ginger beer according to their menu just outside the front entrance. I can only describe the taste as a sweetened fruit juice with a ton of fizz from the ginger beer, and the pineapple and apple came out on top for overpowering the drink overall. Some mint leaves and a slice of grapefruit were added in, and the mint leaves made this drink feel more like a special cocktail. This and other mocktails is $13 before tax, so pretty high price especially when considering their other alcoholic drinks are not that much higher than that... I actually still loved my drink, though! It was a nice wrap-up for my last day in Vegas and I'm curious now to look a lot more carefully at the stuff on the walls if I ever come here again!

Overall, it was a great experience, and I would return again in the future. Expect drink prices to range from about $30 to $70, with some even higher for the "market price" drinks.
