Travis Lett's Venice restaurant is a hot spot with hot customers and a hot wait staff, so that line has been standard for most of the six years it’s been open. On the Gjelina website reservations are handled by Resy; Table8 also lists the restaurant. But those lines outside are an indication that dedicated walk-ins do get in, so maybe just get in line.

Many Angelenos who drive by this unobtrusive restaurant on Overland Avenue near Palms Boulevard have no idea it is one of the most highly sought-after reservations in Southern California. Each dish in chef Niki Nakayama's multicourse kaiseki meals is exquisite, which may be why there are no apparent openings between now and the end of the year. Reservations are made through Resy, which will allow you to use a "notify" feature, just in case someone changes their mind and cancels. Hopefuls are asked to type in their preferred "start" times. Then you pray.
