   We sat outside in the back garden and appreciated how spacious and quiet it was. I am vegetarian and there were plenty of items available for me to order. The food and service were wonderful and we will definitely be back!

   Food was good, but the entire experience is overshadowed by how uncomfortably close the tables are to each other. you can't have a private conversation.

   Super cozy Greek spot in a great part of Venice Beach! The vibe is chill and the food is really tasty. Perfect place to hang out with friends and enjoy some delicious Greek dishes.

   Delicious food, great vibe, and a team that really knows hospitality. We tried a variety of dishes, and every one of them was built from simple ingredients, but done with real attention to detail. The spinakopita and anchovies were the perfect start. Branzino was light and flavorful, and the wagyu skewers were rich and satisfying. The standout for me was the octopus, it is incredibly tender, served with carrot purée and dill aioli that added just the right contrast. The Greek salad and eggplant dip were also excellent. Nothing felt overcomplicated, just well thought out and skillfully done. The Schiopetto we ordered was a perfect match. Highly recommend for a relaxed but memorable night out.

   Hey Alex, Thank you for such a beautifully written review — you captured exactly what we strive for: simplicity, warmth, and attention to every detail. We’re so glad you enjoyed the octopus (a favorite of ours too!) and that the Schiopetto hit the right note. Hope to welcome you back soon for another relaxed, memorable night!

   The ambience was fantastic -- each detail was so thoughtfully procured whether that be the decor, the finishes, even the hand soap in the bathroom. The restaurant was beautiful, and felt so warm and comforting -- as if you were sitting down in someone's home. Our server Frances was phenomenal. She was personable, kind and gave us so many wonderful recommendations on the menu, as well as allowing us to try many wines that would fit out palates. She was extremely knowledgeable about everything on both the wine list and food menu. The food was excellent -- the romesco mezze was spectacular, and the mussels were to die for. Highly highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone!! I will definitely be coming back.

   From the moment you walk in, this place transports you straight to the Mediterranean. The decor is warm and inviting, and the service was flawless—Alisa in particular was outstanding. She made our evening even more enjoyable with her attentiveness and great recommendations. The menu leans heavily toward seafood, which was exactly what we were hoping for. It’s worth noting that since this is a wine bar, the cocktails are wine- or sake-based—no traditional spirits—but my Spritz was perfectly refreshing, no complaints there! We tried the spicy feta dip, eggplant whip, bluefin sashimi, branzino, and roasted potatoes. Everything was flavorful and beautifully presented, with generous portion sizes across the board. I’m already looking forward to coming back—especially once patio season kicks in. A solid 10/10 experience!

   Alisa 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 back

   So happy to have this place in the neighborhood. I used to frequent the previous restaurant in the space, plant food and wine, and was so sad to see it go simply because I loved the back patio which felt like an escape to the Mediterranean. I was thrilled to see Alisa opening up in the space, and have since been there three times since it opened; each visit has been better than the last. The food feels authentically Greek and they have an excellent wine selection. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable and the service staff is very friendly and accommodating. Our server (Fred I believe) made excellent recommendations and was very attentive. All around an excellent experience each time I’ve visited. Great for date nights, dinner with friends or a spot to bring anyone visiting from out of town. I look forward to returning this summer with the reopening of the patio. Highly recommend!!

Looking forward to welcoming you back soon!

    Great food, vibes, and aesthetics! We got the spanakopita, Greek salad, tzatziki dip, and chicken and wagyu skewers. Everything was fresh, the bread was so delicious, chicken was very juicy, and salad was refreshing. The staff and our server, Ferdinand, were super friendly and professional. Overall, great place! Will be coming back soon for sure.
