Ive been here for lunch but i've heard great things about their breakfast items so i had to give it a try. I got the breakfast burrito and it was super, super good - would get again. I just didnt love how wet it got toward the bottom and the salsa was nottt the best. Otherwise, very flavorful and yummy. My friends loved their dishes as well and also said they would order both again. Service and location were incredible as usual - love all the workers there and the amazing venice views read more

I don't usually leave negative reviews because I always try to focus on the positive aspects of a business and give credit where it's due. Unfortunately, my experience at Great White in Venice left me disappointed, and the main reason was the service. First, we arrived around 9:15 a.m. after seeing that the restaurant opened at 8:00 a.m., only to find out that opening had been delayed until 9:30 a.m. Honestly, that wasn't a problem at all. We waited outside, and when guests started arriving, we got in line and ended up being among the first few parties seated. The food itself was good, and the restaurant has a great atmosphere. My issue was with our server, Nate. I understand that everyone has bad days, and I also work in the hospitality industry, so I try to be very understanding. However, the service felt extremely cold, detached, and uninterested from the beginning to the end of our meal. I'm not expecting over-the-top friendliness or a formal introduction, but there was virtually no warmth, no engagement, and no sense that he wanted to be there. Throughout our visit, an older gentleman working on the floor (possibly a busser or food runner) showed far more hospitality, attentiveness, and genuine care for guests than our actual server did. After we had finished eating, I ordered an orange juice while waiting for some pancakes to-go. I was asked whether I wanted the juice for here or to-go, and I specifically requested it for here. I then waited approximately 30 minutes. During that time, I received my check, paid my bill (including a generous tip), and watched multiple tables that had been seated after us receive their drinks and food while I continued waiting. My server walked by several times, looked in our direction, but never followed up or asked if we were still waiting on anything. Eventually, I flagged down another server, who was very kind and immediately looked into the situation. She returned and explained that the orange juice had apparently never made it onto the screen. However, I had taken a photo of my receipt, and the orange juice was clearly listed and charged. The issue was never the $10 orange juice. Mistakes happen. We all make them. The disappointing part was that nobody simply acknowledged the mistake or offered a sincere apology. A quick "I'm sorry, that was my mistake" would have completely changed the experience. One additional observation: I was told that cash is only accepted if you have the exact amount. That's perfectly fine, but I think that policy should be clearly posted at the entrance or on the restaurant's website so guests know beforehand. Again, I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, and I genuinely wanted to leave a positive one because the food and atmosphere were enjoyable. Unfortunately, hospitality is about more than just delivering food to a table. Based on this experience, it seemed that our server either dislikes working in customer service or was having a very bad day. Either way, many other staff members we interacted with demonstrated the warmth, energy, and hospitality that guests hope to experience when dining out. read more

My friends and I came for a pretty late lunch, and it was busier than expected for 3pm, but no wait for a table. We sat in the cute outdoor patio area under some shade on a really nice day. Our server was friendly and gave my friend recommendations when he asked. I ordered the Pisco Passion and Swim Club sandwich with sweet potato fries. The drink was light and refreshing. The sandwich was delicious with all the flavors combining well together, and the fries were nice and crisp. I do think it's a tad expensive, but I had a good experience there and would consider going back. read more

Got to stop here with my family after a 12 mile bike ride from Manhattan Beach...they SERVED! Best coffee I had my two weeks in the area, unbeatable acai bowl, delicious sandwhich and beautiful atmosphere. They were steadily busy but the service never missed a beat. I'm still dreaming of my latte - yes you should get two. read more

I was looking for a place to meet a friend near the ocean. The menu at this restaurant looked delicious and we decided to give it a try. There is both indoor and patio dining. The vibe is casual and beach chic. All of the food is delicious and this is one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. The restaurant has very few parking spaces on site. The only downside is that the paid parking is ridiculously expensive. Anywhere from $10 to 15 minutes to an hour, $20 for two hours and the price goes up and up. There is one hour metered parking nearby which isn't very convenient if you have to keep going back to refill the meter. If you're lucky you might find distant street parking that is unpaid. This is nothing against the restaurant, but as Venice as a city in general. High prices like these without any special validation, are sure to keep people from coming to these places at all if you can't afford it. Perhaps that's how Venice would like to keep it. Only people who can afford the parking are allowed to enjoy these businesses. read more

Entire experience was fantastic from hostess to paying the bill. I didn't have a reservation, hostess sat me immediately and she was really friendly and cute (respectfully). The ambiance was very chill California energy (I'm from New York lol), which I loved. The decor also was giving spa vibes in a good way. Byredo hand soap in the restroom, okayyyy! My server Joshua was super friendly and attentive, appreciated his good energy. Breakfast menu had a lot of delicious sounding options but I went for the breakfast burrito with hot sauce and it was fantastic. Breakfast burritos are very hit or miss IMO and this was a hit. I also had two cappuccinos bc I am a caffeine fiend and also jet lagged and they were both very good. Highly recommend to anyone in the neighborhood. I just realized they have other locations throughout LA too which I'm sure are also good but this one did not disappoint at all. read more

I came to visit a friend and this was one of our first stops straight off the plane. Everything on the menu sounded amazing but we ended up sharing the avocado dip, a breakfast burrito, and finished with the diavola pizza. Yummy food!!! Eddie is fantastic and the sweetest! We had great service and my favorite thing about him was that after he learned I love sauce, he kept bringing different in house made sauces for me to try. This restaurant is so beautiful and sitting on the patio was a great start to our afternoon! read more

Came here on a Sunday looked for reservations they were booked so we walked up and were able to be seated right away. No wait at all. Parking is annoying we parked across the street for $10. It was pretty packed but the food was good, service was good, we had our pup so it's nice to have outdoor seating even the indoor seating insane indoor so we sat inside outside. Walked around the beach afterwards because we had time left and we paid for parking. It's a really busy area but overall the experience was good read more

Strolled through Venice Beach and stopped by this much-talked-about spot (thankfully had a reservation!). The place was buzzing and had such a great vibe inside. We didn't catch our server's name, but she was an absolute delight - warm, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. We started with her recommendation, the Diavoli pizza--thin crust, perfectly done, and the salami tasted more like pepperoni (exactly what we were hoping for). For mains, my husband had the shrimp pasta, and my sister and I shared the salmon curry. Both dishes were good, but the salmon curry truly stood out--rich, flavorful, and paired with sweet potato, chickpeas, and black rice, which was such a unique and delicious surprise. Ended the meal with a chocolate mousse, and honestly... perfection. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you're around Venice Beach! read more

My review is specifically for their breakfast burrito. I've eaten it once before, a couple years ago and it was pretty great. Ordered the same thing (breaky burrito with no bacon, but avocado instead) and it just wasn't up to par. It's always crowded so maybe just an off day? Regardless, this is LA so you have plenty of breakfast burrito spots to choose from. On the weekends, it's a bit chaotic inside and not the best organization so be patient. I might give it another whirl if I find myself back in Venice Beach and craving a burrito. Or maybe I'll try something else for a change. Albeit crowded, ambience is open and welcoming for groups. read more

Had an absolutely incredible experience at Great White -- easily a 5-star spot. The breakfast burrito was unreal -- perfectly packed, super flavorful, and honestly one of the best I've had. You can tell everything is fresh and thoughtfully put together. Then we got the margarita pizza, and it did not disappoint -- crispy crust, great sauce, and just the right balance of cheese and basil. But what really sets this place apart is the outdoor atmosphere. Sitting outside in the heart of Venice Beach with the ocean breeze and that laid-back California energy is unbeatable. It's the kind of spot where you can relax, people-watch, and just enjoy the moment. Perfect food + perfect vibe = can't miss. I'll definitely be back. read more

I've been coming to this place for several times and food is always great! I always order toast and poached eggs, and extra add ons. Service thought on the other hand is always slow. My servers most of the time only present to take my food order, barely come back to check during my meal. I would always have to wait over 15 minutes after I finished my plate and sometimes it's quite bothersome to look around for my server to close out. Something good, something could be better. read more

Love love love this spot! I recommend going on a weekday or early on a weekend or it gets quite busy even though they have a lot of seating. The food and coffee is always great quality and tastes delicious. Service is solid. It's priced a bit higher because it's popular and in a great location, but it's worth it imo. read more

The Great White was (mostly) a great find. For a party of two, the wait was about fifteen minutes, which felt reasonable during the lunch rush. We ordered the following: * Banana bread - Came highly recommended, but unfortunately a hard pass for me. It did not live up to the hype and was a bit dry. * Black cod with mushrooms - The fish was moist, the mushrooms perfectly cooked. Definitely recommend. * Fish tacos - Or more accurately, fish lettuce wraps. While missing the tortilla/hard shell, they were still very tasty. The sauce had just the right amount of heat. Service was solid overall. Our server was attentive and friendly, and the front hostess was welcoming. The food runners were efficient--nothing more, nothing less. The restaurant has a bright, airy ambiance with both indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is limited, but the location is just a short stroll from the beach. Overall, we were pleased with our experience. read more

The parking here is a whole situation so you can either rely on luck or factor in at least 15-20 minutes to find some depending on what time of day you're heading in.

Super overpriced and portion is shamefully small I got a mushroom pizza, a harvest bowl, a burrito and a smoothie bowl to share with two girls and we left feeling hungry still. The mushroom pizza was very dry and there wasn't any impressive cheese pull. The truffle wasn't infused into the mushroom. Felt a bit out of place The bowl was very bad lol. They put a bunch of random stuff in there and the bowl was literally half empty. Bull shit lol Smoothie was fine Burrito was the size of my hand filled with potato and cheese instead of- I ordered it for the bacon and eggs. Rip Didn't rly enjoy anything in particular read more

Came here for Saturday dinner and it was packed inside and outside with their outdoor patio. They really stuck to their great white theme. The restaurant color was white with white menus and servers all wearing white. We ordered the harvest bowl and the salmon coconut curry. The harvest bowl was so tasty. I dont usually eat salad but I would eat more salads if they tasted like that! My salmon curry bowl was tangy which I'm not used to for curry but it was good. Service was good. Pricing was ok.

If you're on the hunt for the holy grail of breakfast burritos, look no further - this place is IT! It is a decent size, perfectly wrapped, and stuffed with just the right balance of fluffy eggs, crispy potatoes, melty cheese... Every bite is packed with flavor, and the tortillas are grilled to that perfect golden crisp that holds everything together without falling apart. We also got their Salmon Mezze Plate. It was fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. The salmon itself is tender and silky, seasoned just right so every bite melts in your mouth. Paired with creamy hummus, tangy tzatziki, and crisp veggies, it's the kind of dish that feels both light and satisfying at the same time. Add in warm pita on the side and you've got the ultimate balance of textures: rich, fresh, crunchy, and smooth. Not only is the food next-level, but the vibe is warm and welcoming too. Service is quick, friendly, and you can tell they really care about quality. It's one of those spots where you walk out already planning your next visit. So happy that Venice is home to this little gem of a restaurant read more

Great spot - excellent food and vibe. Loved the service and coffee. The breakfast burrito is top shelf. Highly recommend.

We decided to come here for brunch last minute on a Saturday and only had to wait about 15 min, thankfully. I thought it would be a high priced, low quality type of restaurant but I was VERY WRONG. The ingredients came from farms that are listed on the back of the menu and the restaurant served food that came from quality ingredients and delivered with a lot of flavor. The restaurant was BUSY yet the server was able to find us in good time and serve food in a timely manner while also giving us to space to enjoy time with the company we were with. We loved the banana bread, breakfast burrito and poke bowl! read more

Personally wouldn't come back for the food, the ambience is nice tho. Great White Breakie, 3/5: I wouldn't get this sourdough was stale and tough, the egg was like a mug microwaved egg, and the the bacon and arugula together was a salty bomb. The cherry tomatoes were great tho! Crispy Chicken Sandwich, 4/5: Loved how the batter was like a fish filet, it's not a typical crispy chicken. The meat was juicy and the sauce was really good, but the bun is drenched in the sauce. Wish the chicken was bigger, way more bun than bread. Came on Saturday 11am - 12pm and only had to wait 35 mins! Definitely very crowded and loud. Interior is nice but definitely feels squished inside. read more

Had an amazing weekend brunch with a friend. Everything we ordered was delicious and thoughtfully done. The crispy Brussels sprouts were perfectly charred with that ideal balance of savory, crispy, and a little sticky-sweet. Easily some of the best I've had. The chicken wings were next-level: deeply flavorful, tender on the inside, crisp on the outside, and not drowning in sauce (which I appreciate). It was a bit on the salty side but what was so nice was that they were stuffed on the inside. The ceviche with taro chips was easily the winner for me: super fresh and bright, with avocado and just the right amount of acidity -- light, clean, and perfect for a sunny Venice afternoon. The creaminess of the avocado took away the edge of acid that most ceviche dishes lead with. The vibe is relaxed but elevated, the patio is great for people-watching, and everything felt effortlessly well executed. Great White is one of those places that makes simple food feel special without overcomplicating it. Will absolutely be back. read more

Wow, what a busy busy place I came here on a Saturday morning around 10 AM and we just beat the crowd. We were able to get seated right away, but I believe we took the last table or there was one more table available. It was a cloudy day so the heaters were perfect I felt like the food portion was sortof small because we finished our breakfast and was still hungry so we ordered from the lunch menu. Not pictured the strawberry matcha! It was so delightful! My favorite was the cod it was beautifully done and the banana bread because it's not so sweet! I like how it's not too sweet here! It was a good experience would probably come back. Oh and they ticket the parking lot- we didn't know you had to pay so we were like oh could've avoided a ticket read more

A really solid breakfast option. It can be extremely busy with long lines, but we got lucky this past Saturday and were able to sit down right when we arrived for a party of four at 10:30 AM. Parking in this area is pretty tricky, the best option will be a pay lot or if you're lucky enough to find street parking. I really like the design of this place. It's really open, bright, and in a refurbished brick building, which really adds to the style. Service was a bit slow, I would say that was the weakest point of the meal, but still the whole experience was really nice. The menu is not very large, but it has a lot of California contemporary classics on it. We stopped in mainly to do drinks so we ended up ordering just a few appetizers. My favorite of the bunch was ceviche. It was really fresh and light and something that I would order again. I plan to be back in the near future to try more items. read more

Came here for dinner at a friend's recommendation while visiting LA. This was the perfect spot to celebrate graduation from USC! Definitely make a reservation, especially on a Friday night, they had same day reservation availability when we booked, but the place was definitely busy!! Mitch did a great job, he provided recommendations and checked on us frequently. Our food and drinks came out quickly. The Bolognese is amazing, highly recommend! Our table also ordered the crispy chicken sandwich and a pizza, I had the chocolate mousse for dessert. Definitely a pricier spot, but we got a good amount of food for the price.
