- GGregoryHouston •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAlisa is hands down the best Greek food in LA. Every dish we tried was bursting with authentic flavor, beautifully presented, and made with obvious care and high-quality ingredients. But what truly set this experience apart was the impeccable service. My friend has strict gluten-free dietary restrictions, and the staff went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and accommodated. They answered every question with patience, offered thoughtful recommendations, and even double-checked with the kitchen to ensure everything was safe for her to enjoy. Our server, Evan, was incredibly sweet, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. He made us feel like family from the moment we sat down. His warmth and professionalism took the entire experience to another level—we truly felt cared for. If you’re looking for a place that delivers not only extraordinary Greek cuisine but also unforgettable hospitality, Alisa is it. We can’t wait to come backMore infoAlisaPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Venice•4.3

- MMLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined on Apr 13, 2025We’ve been to Telefèric many times since it opened but today they outdid themselves. The lobster paella by Madrid native chef Gabriel was outstanding as were the patatas bravas and the garlic shrimp. And, as usual, the service was above and beyond. It is our go-to place for Spanish food in Los Angeles. A+++More infoTelefèric Barcelona - Los AngelesPrice: Expensive• Spanish• Brentwood•4.4
