    We had a great time celebrating the holidays here. Food and services were excellent. The ribeyes steak, fish, seafood pasta, and mussels were so tasty. The noise level was high on the main dining area but we found there are other areas like outside or upstairs, seems like a bit quieter. We are already planning our next gathering here again soon.

    Another spectacular meal at Gjelina. I've made it my mission to work my way through the menu, and last night I tried the orecchiette with beef cheek bolognese, Japanese turnip and coal-roasted cabbage - all excellent. Special props to the orecchiette. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauce was rich and savory and the addition of the dollop of ricotta bound all the elements together beautifully. Loved it.
