The food, service, and outdoor dining ambiance were all fantastic. We came here for dinner because it's close to my moms place in MDR and they allow her to bring her emotional support dog on the patio. I would come back again for all the other reasons. In addition, I'm gluten-free, and they were very accommodating! One of the items I had was gluten-free pasta (I always ask for cooked well=soft) with their pesto cream sauce as a side. Very delicious!
I’m leaving this bad review here so that Great White hopefully fixes its delivery and customer service. I’ve been a customer for many years and I will say: they have the worst service ever when it comes to ordering food through their app as they frequently forget to add the items (sides, sauces, key ingredients - you name it) you paid extra for. This time I ordered an avocado breakfast burrito that came without avocado, bacon and any sauce (it was just basically eggs, tortilla and potatoes). I paid $6 for 2 pieces of halloumi cheese. $2 for additional gluten free bread that didn’t come. Last few times? No bacon in the Great White breaky, no extra sauces (that we paid for) etc. You try to call any of their numbers and no member ever picks up. You email [email protected] and they simply don’t answer. There’s no refund option on their app. Their customer service is simply nonexistent.
We love this place! If you're in Venice & spending time in Abbot Kinney, you should consider eating at Greenleaf! Delicious food, tons of vegan & Gluten free choices, plenty of seating (a really cool patio) & kind staff! Also a relaxed environment & great pricing (a difficult find on Abbot Kinney). Make this your next stop!
If you're celiac or have a gluten allergy, don't let the title fool you! There are plenty of gluten-free options. I have been here a ton of times and have never gotten sick. The wait staff is all friendly and knowledgeable about food allergies. They comply with asking to be extra careful. The keto plate and the grain bowl are great options for breakfast and the chicken is SOO good as are all the veggie sides. Love it here. Also, the restaurant is very popular, but even at 10:30 on a weekend the wait is never TOO long. The coffee is GREAT and you can bring your dog!
Located near the Venice Pier, The cow’s end has nothing but a pleasant smell of coffee and delicious food. :)
We stopped here for coffee and because they had gluten-free options on the menu, my wife got a gluten-free avocado toast and a gluten-free donut to go. The staff was very friendly and you could tell this is a place that locals and visitors alike spend time and enjoy the ambience.
When we were there, we met friendly dogs and local people.
Love that they make their own cashew milk! a i’ve been trying to find a place that does this so I’m so happy to find this one! Definitely on the pricier end but what’s new in LA😅I got an iced cashew milk decaf latte and really liked it! Even thorough it was decaf, it was delicious! The nut milk is pretty dense so I wasn’t able to drink a lot of it but definitely happy with the service and quality. They also have gluten-free pastries which I definitely want to try next time.
I brought my coworkers here a few weeks ago for a company team lunch and everyone had a great time and really enjoyed the food! The portions were large and plentiful, so much so that we were super full and still had leftovers to take home. My favorite dish was the kale salad, which was surprisingly flavorful. The pizzas were also great!
I contacted OSPI ahead of time to make a large party reservation, opting for the lunch time prix fixe menu. The whole process was super smooth, and they were very helpful in helping me choose appropriate dishes based on the dietary restrictions of our group (we had vegetarians and gluten free people, both of whom were accomodated).
My only critique is that the food took quite a while to come out at the start. I expected it to be out sooner since we had a reservation and had ordered a fixed menu, but after being seated, we still had to wait a decent amount, so we were quite hungry. After that, the pacing of the meals could've been slightly faster, but it's understandable because of the large party servings. Otherwise, service was great.
Unfortunately I was too distracted eating to take pictures! The food was delicious!
The only gluten free place I could find in Venice Beach. They have really good sauces and authentic horchada. I had the chicken tacos and it was pretty good but not as filling which made me want more.
Solid spot for food and drinks right on the boardwalk in Venice Beach. They were accommodating for mu gluten free diet. Also, the mojito they gave me was weak but I politely told my server and they corrected the issue promptly with a super stiff mojito so all good there.
I remember the fish and chips being delish when I could eat gluten.
Celiac friendly
