    Tuna Niçoise Salad
    David M.

    Tender Greens continues to deliver on great salads, plates and sandwiches to choose from. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. But, after many many seared tuna, backyard steak and fried chicken plates I have been obsessed with their Tuna Niçoise salad. Not all places use seared tuna (but rather canned tuna) on a Tuna Niçoise but you got to use fresh seared tuna!!! Check of all the ones I've eaten.

    sea bass plate with seasonal veggies and roasted potatoes
    Hayden L.

    The service was quick and friendly. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. The Seabass was tasty as were the sides of seasonal vegetables and roasted potatoes. I wish the Seabass was a little bit bigger in portion for the price. The ambiance is casual and clean. There's a free parking structure and it's in the same complex as the AMC for a bite to eat before or after a movie.

    Green Pozole (bowl)
    Zan L.

    I've lost count how many times I've eaten at Tender Greens and it's always consistently a really good option. They have salads, sandwiches, soups, bowls, and plates but I tend to always get a soup or plate. The portion sizes are not very large, however, the salads can be a really nice amount if you don't like larger portions or especially for lunch. This past visit we stopped in for dinner and overall had a nice meal. There is free parking attached to the mall it is located in on the ground floor. Tender Greens itself is up on the second floor closer to the Equinox. When we arrived, there were a lot of people inside picking up delivery orders and we did have to wait quite a bit for our food, but it was very tasty when it did arrive. Basically you place your order at the counter, they give you a number, and then bring the food to your table. Inside is quite large and can host many different sized groups, there's also an outdoor eating area. For this visit, I chose the Green Pozole and really enjoyed it. I wish there would've been more meat inside, but it still had some nice flavors. We also ordered the Steak Plate and that too was very good. The steak was cooked just how I like it and it had a really nice sear and crust to it. It was a bit chewy, but still I overall liked it and would recommend.

    Green onions contained in a salad where an onion allergy was listed AND no onion/cilantro mix was specified.
    Monica L.

    If you have food allergies or dislike certain foods, do not order from this location. I specifically marked two things: 1) No onion/cilantro mix and; 2) Onion allergy. My salad was slathered in onions. What's worse is that they were not visible, but buried underneath the top layer of the salad. Absolutely despicable. I hope this establishment is sued into oblivion, as their carelessness can cost someone their life and/or health.

    Chipotle BBQ chicken plate with 2 sides - spinach and mac n cheese
    Tracy B.

    First time at this location but I've eaten at TG before. This store has a nice outdoor patio and large seating area inside as well. It's located upstairs next to the Equinox. The Ordering area is towards the back of the space near the restrooms (not by front door) so kind of an odd layout. My husband had the chipotle chicken plate with 2 sides, baby spinach and mac n cheese. I had the Med steak salad. Both come with delicious buttered (and a little spice?) toast. The service was quick, it wasn't crowded and the gentleman working to bus tables checked on us a few times and cleared plates as soon as we finished. He was very efficient. I would recommend Tender Greens for healthy options on your lunch break or after working out!

    We had a disappointing experience. Our pickup order was 30 minutes late beyond the scheduled time, and unfortunately the food didn't meet expectations. I ordered a medium rare steak, but it came out well done, and somehow everything was already cold by the time we received it. I spoke to management about my experience and was hoping they'd want us to come back and have a positive experience, but instead they simply apologized with no offer of a discount or credit or any sort. While I appreciate an apology, it doesn't mean much from a business if they don't incentivize you to come back and give them another chance.

    Green pozole soup
    Lisa T.

    This location has some ambiance with small electric tea candles at each table. The service was standard, nothing over the top. This was my first time trying the pozole and it was delicious, a little spicy, and a little tangy from the tomatillos. I would definitely recommend ordering the pozole soup. My husband's salt and pepper chicken was standard. The chicken could've been warmer in my opinion. This location is on the second floor and I never realized it was in this plaza complex until we found it in Google maps.

    Harvest Chicken Salad
    Lah R.

    Food was delicious! The Mediterranean Steak Salad featuring feta, tomatoes, pickled cucumbers, green olives, herbs, baby greens, baby sweet peppers, and lemon vinaigrette is one of my favorites. My other go-to salad is the Chicken Harvest featuring stone fruit, Point Loma Farms black berries, pistachios, goat cheese, caramelized onions, baby lettuces, and golden balsamic vinaigrette. These are healthy and delicious salads. Service provided by Robert was excellent. Robert delivered the food to the table and was responsive to any requests. The staff was courteous and professional. The food tasted fresh. Thank you, Robert and team! The ambiance is casual as this location is in a two story shopping center adjacent to the Equinox, so a lot of people dine at Tender Greens after working out. I highly recommend this Tender Greens if you are looking for a fresh and delicious salad in a casual atmosphere where customers are treated with the utmost courtesy!

    Avocado toast and tomatoe soup, happy vegan is the last plate here.

The staff are dressed in matching white t-shirts and pants, and the shirts say "All-Day Cafe." However, we walked in a little after 3:00 PM and found out we couldn't order smoothies (which end at 3:00) or breakfast items (which end much earlier at 11:00). For an "all-day cafe," that felt like a bit of a misrepresentation. ​Since it was very, very hot outside, I was disappointed that they were serving lukewarm water. Unfortunately, there was no vegan pizza on the menu, but our first waiter was very, very nice and friendly, and he had the kitchen accommodate us by omitting the cheese, substituting olive oil for chili oil, and adding spinach. The pizza turned out to be very thin, but yummy, and my party also enjoyed the ceviche. I had an iced coconut coffee that was absolutely delicious. ​After our first waiter ended his shift, our second waiter, Mike H., took over the table and never checked on us not even one single time after someone dropped off the food. When a small issue came up with one of the plates, he was just so nonchalant and dismissive, and Mike didn't add to the ambiance of the place at all. Fortunately, I believe it was a manager who then stepped in with a smile and addressed the issue, which was really nice. Aside from that unfortunate service experience, the food and drinks were tasty, but the misleading menu hours, lukewarm water on a hot day, and inattentive waiter definitely left room for improvement.

    What a wonderful surprise…read more I live just around the corner from Jamaica Bay Inn, and for whatever reason, it took me far too long to finally have dinner here with family and friends. I wish I'd discovered it sooner. The restaurant overlooks Mother's Beach, and the setting is exactly what you'd hope for: peaceful, relaxed, and quintessential Marina del Rey. You almost expect the view to be the highlight... Then the food shows up. For appetizers, we shared the hummus plate and the calamari. Both were excellent. As someone whose kids were practically raised eating seafood around the ports of New England, calamari is one of those deceptively simple dishes we judge pretty harshly. Beachside absolutely passed the test. I ordered the cheeseburger, which was solid, but the real stars of the evening were the roasted Jidori chicken and the jumbo shrimp fettuccine. The chicken was perfectly juicy, something that sounds easy but surprisingly few restaurants consistently get right. The shrimp fettuccine completely stole the show. In fact, it's now become my daughter's regular takeout order, and she's easily the toughest pasta critic in our family. Congratulations... you've officially earned the title of our favorite pasta spot in the Marina. The service was another highlight. Our server spoke both German and Italian, had a great sense of humor, and made the evening feel warm and effortless. Between the location, the food, and the hospitality, I already know this is going to become one of our regular family dinner spots.

First let me say that Nahum, who helped us was excellent. The absolute perfect balance of checking on you but not overdoing it. If it weren't for Nahum, morning sun, and the breeze, I think we would have sent back our plates and left. Really. We didn't tell him there were any issues, because once the decision was made to stay, why ruin his holiday too? lol Ordered coffee. Dreadful. Ok, no big deal. The food came out and I could immediately SEE The Unappetizing . It's special when you can tell that your food is going to be bad before you take one bite. The French toast was Sahara dry, burned and flavorless. The chicken, was competing with it in the dry and flavorless category-- I really can't say which was worse. I don't really use hot sauce and I drowned the tenders in Cholula just to make it halfway edible. Literally we could have waited for the AMC chicken tenders and they would have been better, which is horrifying. Particularly when you try to avoid fried food in general and now you are poisoning your body for no good reason. Husband ordered a steak and eggs, medium well. I'll attach the picture and I'll let you be the judge of whether or not it was cooked properly. Eggs were not good either. Immediately, I gave hubby more than half my plate because he eats All of Everything that's put in front of him. Something would have to get up and walk off his plate for him to not eat it. He was taught not to waste food, period. The exception was steak so that he could take it home, cook it, and then eat it. This was possibly the worst meal I've ever had, and certainly on a special occasion. So many places we could have gone today that would have been a different experience, but it will never happen again. Know that they automatically add an18 percent tip and not just on parties of 6 or more.

I reached out to the Gjelina team about my plastic experience and they were quick to not only take accountability but do a full-blown investigation, update their protocols, and invite me back to regain my trust. INVESTIGATION I was honestly take aback at the lengths they went to to ensure the utmost quality control. They shared that each pizza dough is individually wrapped for transport from their bakery, then assembled onsite. To make sure the plastic mishap doesn't happen again, they updated their protocol to ensure more supervisor and individual checkpoints from drop off to assembly to baking. ACCOUNTABILITY I was really appreciative of the general manager being so quick to respond and share what they were doing to understand the root of the issue AND how they could make it right. It was one thing to apologize, it's another to take action to ensure it doesn't happen again. It was evident to me then that they not only care about their business, but the customer experience as it relates to quality & safety. REBUILDING TRUST The general manager was kind enough to invite us back to have dinner on the house! Impressed by their measures to right their wrongs, I accepted and went to try some new things.... - Zucchini with zatar seasoning: fresh, great texture, good veggie starter - Hamachi Crudo: bright citrus light and delicious. Would've loved a little touch of blood orange to bring some more zing - Chorizo & Fennel Pizza: we braved the pizza again and it really was delicious. Super soft bubbles in the crust leading to a crispy yet soft bite. Amazing texture and flavor combinations - Duck Confit: WOW! I went with my French boyfriend and even he approved. Perfectly crispy skin, juicy cooked to perfection inside, and the grapes were a nice unexpected touch with the flavor profile. DO NOT SKIP! SO GOOD! - Wagyu beef cheek & burrata pasta: WOWOWW! This and the duck stole the show. The flavor was out of this world. Al dente pasta shells with the decadent sauce and creamy burrata. Magnificent! - Butterscotch Pot: delicious delightful, perfect for a touch of sweetness to finish the meal OVERALL There's a lot of great restaurants in LA but not all of them have service to match. Gjelina you really impressed me with your customer care and action oriented accountability! I forgive you and I will return again. (Note: This review was not promoted or requested from the team.
