In June 2026, Fleming and I visited Gjelina to use our Chase Sapphire Reserve dining credit ($150) which was expiring on June 30th. We won Off-Broadway lottery tickets to see Cecily Strong in What Happened Was at the Audible Minetta Lane Theatre, a thirteen minute walk away from Gjelina. Overall we had a great experience and would dine at the restaurant in the future, even without the credit, if win the area.
This post reviews Gjelina and also how to use the Chase Sapphire Reserve dining credit.
The Buttermilk Panna Cotta with Candied Basil and Sea Salt at Gjelina was a highlight of the evening.
