    We had an evening at The Pantages Theater and friends suggested we have dinner at Jemma. We were blown away! The kale salad was incredible. The cauliflower appetizer was delicious and the branding was cooked to perfection. We will absolutely be back!

    On the whole really like Jemma as a before Theater place. The parking was reasonable and convenient. Pizza was delicious and I love the Kale salad. Servings are large And easy to split. (I do wish they had the handkerchief pasta) my only complaints are that it is very noisy and that cocktails and wind are SO expensive.

    Perfect dinner restaurant prior to a show at The Pantages Theatre. They also have valet so you can walk to the show across the street. The food and ambiance were a huge bonus!

    This was our second visit before another show in Hollywood. Did not disappoint! The food is incredible. This time we tried James kale salad, Cacio e pepe spaghetti and the spicy vodka rigatoni again. Scrumptious! I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Food and service was great. Perfect place for dinner before a show at the Pantages. A bonus is they have a dinner valet package!! Parking is only $16 when you have dinner at the restaurant. Very convenient.

    I'm a big fan and repeat customer of Jemma. From the moment we arrived through out, service from the Host & Hostess, as well as our Waiter were truly lovely. And the food (Jemma Salad and Cauliflower were the true stars of the meal. The Cheese-Garlic bread, 2 pastas and Chicken Milanese were tasty. However the steak was truly underwhelming…. a lack of seasoning, and though arrived as medium-rate (as ordered), it was tough and to be honest.. tasteless. We each took 2 pieces, but didn't finish what we took. I will say my dog has been enjoying it. I will certainly continue to patronize Jemma, but will stick to pastas, Jemma salad and cauliflower.
