    DO NOT EAT HERE! This place is so disgusting! They served 100% completely raw chicken that looked like it sat in a pan to toast the outside for 2 seconds. I should’ve known something was off when the “crispy” chicken was ice cold and not crispy at all. They got our whole office sick that ate different things. Do yourself a favor and go ANYWHERE ELSE… when told about it, they said they’d let the cook know 😒.

    Deliciously plated meals and my first LA kosher restaurant, closes early on Friday for the Sabbath. Wait staff was great and so was the kosher (!!!) BLT. Prices are in line for the area, because it is in Beverly Hills city limits. Expect $25-30 for meal and soft drink, and roughly $50 per person for +alcohol or +appetizer.

    The only thing better than the food at La Gondola is the courteous and professional service. It's status as LA's Premier fine dining establishment is well earned. Highly recommended.

    I paid almost $40 for a burger and $20 for 6 half strips of bacon (pre tax and tip), which is absolutely insane. The bacon was good but only worth half the price. The burger was really plain and I would probably have enjoyed an In N Out burger more. The place is sort of superficial, the presentation is fancy, but there's not much substance. The servers were pretty nice though.

    This place is just next level! I hit this place up every single time I am in LA whether business or pleasure. I love stopping in for a quick lunch at the bar with a glass of wine. This place will always be a fave of mine. Stick with ribs and a burger. I just recently ordered the crispy chicken sandwich and it doesn’t come to the toenail of those others, but still quite delicious.

    I just went here for drinks and dinner with my mom as a late mother's day outing. the staff and food were superb. We got some off the menu drinks and the Asian spring rolls and some chicken wings that were delicious. what really shines about this place are the waiters. mine tonight was Dennis and not only was he friendly, helpful, and kind , he was extremely attentive and made sure everything was perfect. he even picked out drinks for me that were amazing. Thank you Dennis! I hope you get aptly rewarded for your outstanding work!

    High class food more on the pricey side. The price has gone up since the pandemic but YNt quality is still the same.

    I made reservations a few weeks in advance to eat in LA Gandola. Unfortunately, once I was seated, I was told that they couldn’t accommodate my nut and sesame allergies. The menu looks great and the staff is kind, though it may not be a safe place for you if you have allergies.

    Delicious kosher food. Had the chai steak and mango tango drink

    I enjoyed the ambiance and thought the service was excellent, with reasonable prices. However, the food was mediocre. The minestrone soup was forgettable, the chicken marsala was messy and bland, and the jambalaya was also a messy plate as you can see in the photos. The one bright spot was the chicken waffles.

    Hello guys Wanted to share my latest visit at La gandola. Last time I was here was many years ago for my birthday which was very nice. This time around I ordered the mushroom onion steak burger and the beef wrap, each come with your choice of side orders we got regular and sweet potato fries. The regular fries were ok- nothing to write home about. The sweet potato fries were actually amazing. I’m not usually a fan of sweet potato but the crunch and flavor of these were on point. I wasn’t impressed by the wrap. I’m definitely a burger guy. The burger was great you can’t go wrong ordering a burger here. Few things to keep in mind. If you want the starter bread you should ask for it once you get there. We were sitting for a little while before we asked for it because we assumed that they would bring it out. When we did it took too long for it to come and it came after our food which kinda defeats the purpose of starter bread. Let’s talks about the service, it was OK. If you want a drink menu you need to ask for it.

    Just got the egg rolls and the half chicken for dinner at home. Great food. It's very tasty. I'll be back soon.

    We really enjoyed our meal last night at LA Gondola. The food was yummy, the service was great. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it was is an expensive evening, it came to around 230$ (including tip) for two of us. We ordered two starters, two mains, one dessert and two alcoholic drinks. I could definitely see myself coming again, but for a special occasion and not our weekly date night.

    Food. The same stuff they have been doing for ages but the food quality is worse and smaller portions than before. They did not even time the food to come out well. Fries were cold and soggy. My mom had to hold her salad bowl in one hand to finish it as her main was delivered too early. The waitress was friendly but it took forever to get seated (and I had a reservation) and then services like refilling the water glasses were seemingly not available. The music was loud and I could not hear or really engage in the family conversation. Very expensive for what you get and I'm only writing because this was my second bad experience in a row. Probably will not be coming back.

    One of the few good restaurants in LA. Great food and amazing service. Alfredo is the best and friendliest server you can ever ask for!

  • 5/5 Moses S. 1 year ago on Google
    Phenomenal food. Steaks and ribs are fantastic. And the service is first-rate. We've been there many times and it is always a fantastic dining experience.

  • 5/5 Paul (Payam) M. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best kosher restaurants in Los Angeles. The food is so good that I highly recommend this place to people who are not kosher. The steaks and burgers are delicious. The bronzino is superb.

    One of my favorite places to eat the in world. Can wait to come back out west just to grab a plate .. Follow us on Ig @Adotupt & @Offtoptvnetwork #them⭕️utsiders

  • 5/5 Akiva G. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent Restaurant, with large portions and classy cuisine. If you love kosher food and happen to be in Los Angeles, this is the place I visit time and again. Smoked Turkey gouda and mouth watering French Fries and Salad, "What a refreshing Oasis of Kosher Foods!" I will return to LA Gondola because I've been several times over the years and the quality or experience hasn't changed. Beautiful decor, and warm servers brings you back to when people really enjoyed putting a smile on your face. La Gondola thank you for remaining one of my favorite kosher fusion dinning experiences.

  • 5/5 Eric A. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious cuisine served elegantly in the heart of Beverly Hills on Wilshire bl. Classic items on the menu, and great portion size. You can come here often, the menu is extensive enough to choose from. We got the tuna tartar, ribs candied bacon, burger and all were perfect.

  • 5/5 Eden Z. 1 year ago on Google
    La Gondola is easily the best kosher restaurant in Los Angeles! If you want to go to a place where you know you will receive the best, this is the place to be! The executive chef comes out to make sure his customers are enjoying their food… that says it all already! They serve the most delicious food, have amazing service where the waiters do an amazing job and are genuinely kind, and the place has an amazing and young ambiance, especially Thursday’s and Sunday’s is what I’ve noticed! Definitely try their appetizers and their new drink variety! They always have new and creative items added throughout the holidays… always fun trying their new and tasteful items. Thank you La Gondola for being the best at what you do!
