Granted, I'm a regular, but I'm a regular for a reason. Last night, the food was sublime. Truly. Everything was utterly delicious - welcome back, duck confit! - and I could have easily kept eating and ordering (along with my two equally delighted companions) if I hadn't looked at the table and realized that we'd demolished 10 items. Gjelina is justifiably a classic, and they proved it again last night.

Great experience, it was my first time and it was nothing short of amazing. The food is great, and the restaurant people just incredible. I have a serious allergy and they knew about it and guided me through it. I had an amazing dinner and was not sick! They were so kind and the service impeccable.
