Loved the food, nothing fancy, just good ingredients, with some creative twists. Service was great too. Almost everything is gluten free too.

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.

Their gluten free bread is amazing! Some of the best I’ve ever had. I loved their BATA (a version of BLT). The music was way too loud, but drinks and food were good, and the waitress was knowledgeable of gluten free dietary restrictions! I would love to go back.

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!

Excellent spot with the very best fries in town. Bonus points for being very very professional and accommodating for dietary restrictions, I was able to get a delicious and safely prepared gluten free meal. Highly recommend!

My kid who can’t eat gluten aways wanted to try to gluten free fish and chips, finally had the time to drive to the boardwalk to try The Wee Chippy. Paid 18 bucks to park, walked over, only to find there are no gluten free fish and chips. Told they’re having a supplier issue. How about removing it from your menu if it isn’t available?

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!

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!

Great location to sit and take in the beach atmosphere. Have some gluten free options as well. Highly recommended with really nice staff.

My sister was visiting and found this place on a gluten friendly app it had great reviews and many GF options. We arrived without a reservation but were still greeted with a smile and shown to a couple of tables for walk-ins. After a few minutes, Sidney came and introduced himself to take our drink order. Sidney was met with a berage of questions about the menu being GF. Sidney let us know that the restaurant had decided to go away from the Gluten friendly menu at least 6 months ago. He did, however, take the time to go through the menu with my sister althewhile suggesting some amazing selections from the daily specials. They still have some really great GF options, and my sister was very pleased with the meal that she had. The classic California roll made with blue crab and the Philly roll were perfect. We also had a few other rolls, including the tiger roll (gf), the Rick James, and the girlfriend jeans. all of our selections were very appealing and tasted excellent. Sidney was exceptional throughout the evening and is one of the reasons why I will be returning to this restaurant, with a reservation, of course.

Gluten free waffles were amazing and they have maple syrup 😋

Whitney Lauritsen

I'm so glad this place is still here, as it brings me a lot of nostalgia from my old days living in Venice. It hasn't changed a bit since 2010, which is great. The restaurant is super accommodating to different dietary choices, like vegan and gluten-free, because they make everything from scratch. Loved the hot and sour soup and mapo tofu. Plus even the rice puffs they put on the table are gluten-free! AND, the food was super affordable for the quality and portion size. The female employee who took served on Saturday night was so kind and helpful, and I was thrilled that the vibe was so chill at 5pm (only a few people sitting inside, but many take out orders).

This is the second time I've eaten here and it just keeps getting better. This time I visited for brunch and had an amazing paleo meal. Gluten and grain free waffle with ham and eggs. It was to die for. My sister ordered the stuffed baked potato and ended up ordering an extra waffle for herself after tasting mine. The atmosphere is great, very Venice. The food is amazing and creative. The prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend popping in for a meal. Even just a drink at the full bar is worth a visit.

I use to vacation when I lived in chciago it was amazing best Italian food I ever had the chef /owner is a wonderful person great man now I live in California and still is the only person I eat Italian from great service and has gluten free pastas n options and the atmosphere is lovely and amazingly comfortable

Morgan Clerc

Very authentic Italian restaurant. We came here with friends and everyone loved their food. I'd recommend making a reservation. We ordered the scallops and the prosciutto and burrata to start. Both were delicious! For mains I ordered the boar ragu which I thought was phenomenal. Others ordered the squid ink pasta with lobster (one normal and one gluten free) and there was a tagliatelle ragu special with venison. I tasted all and all sauces had deep flavor and the pasta tasted fresh. I'd highly recommend you visit Barrique!

Impeccable service and delicious food & drinks. We were a group of 8 and everything was amazing from beginning to end. It was most of our first time here and we will all certainly be back. The smoked trout dip, tuna carpaccio, kanpachi, and duck were the highlights. Most items were gluten free which I so appreciated. Highly recommend for food, service and vibes. Thanks for taking care of us!

Grégory Shum

Very nice restaurant, the birria tacos are very good. The staff was considerate to accommodate their menu for my girlfriend who is gluten free and diary free due to allergy.

David Gross

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.

Extremely incompetent, process-obsessed people at this store who don't care about customers. I called to ask if I could place an order for a gluten free sandwich on the phone, was told that I could only order online not on the phone, then I explained that there was no option for gluten free bread online. This took them a while to understand but eventually they said I would have to place an order online with the regular bread and then call in on the phone to request gluten free bread. So I went ahead and placed an order online. Then they said actually they'd need to check with their shift leader to see if they'd be able to do that and when they did they told me that I wouldn't be able to do this and could only get gluten free bread by waiting in line in the store. Eventually I was able to convince them to make a one-time exception but they warned me I could never do this (thing they told me to do) again. It does seem like it'd be smart to let people get gluten free bread placing orders online and they're losing plenty of customers because of this, but ultimately this restaurant doesn't seem to care much about customers and mostly care about process. I guess they figure don't need to care about customers because their food is pretty good. Still, it's unfortunate short-term thinking to mistreat customers. Update: it's not the people in the restaurant's fault. They try their best. The management hates innovation and treating customers well.
