Galla Park Social

Overall 7/10 not bad, but not for meVery nice restaurant with friendly extremely friendly staff. Came for my brother's birthday and made a reservation via open-table. It was for Sunday Afternoon so even though we switched reservation times, they still had our table ready and we were the only people there besides a few at the bar(it was NFC/AFC championship night). Our waitress was super friendly and explained everything that was asked. Amazing ambiance, perfect for their midnight club scene. All of the food took a very long time to come out, but when it did, it was delicious and hot. As i previously said, it was AFC/NFC night so i give the chef a brake, there was most likely only one and we ordered 7 plates. I had the salmon, which was super tender 8.3/10. I will post the rest of the food my family had, they all said it was pretty good. You're really paying for the location and ambiance. As a restaurant, it's not bad, but I would personally go elsewhere. If you want a drink or a quick bite with a small group and you're in the area, I would recommend it. Parking is tricky, i recommend rides share if possible. The parking spots behind the building are for UDF, with a few unlabeled spots, but they seem like tow-away traps. First come first serve parking on E 1st Ave.

Modern with a touch of chill vibe. Great place to grab a bites or for a date night It happen to be happy hour and definitely have some great line up for that as well. May need to have another visit just for that. That Calabrian Scallops would be my favorite, especially that Calabrian chili sauce.

We went here for a holiday party and it was great! Service was amazing! Never felt like we had to wait for anything!

We (party of 4) did not have a good experience here. We had a reservation for 8pm, but when we showed up on time we still had to wait several minutes for a table. Then, we sat for 30 minutes without a waitress, and had to flag down somebody to get service. They gave us free drinks and a free appetizer, but the service continued to be slow and subpar. Towards the end we walked into the bathroom and saw a large group of waitresses loitering in the bathroom talking. I'm assuming they hide out there often hence the bad service. The food was fine but nothing special. I would not recommend - it feels like a club masquerading as fine dining.

Galla Park Social offers the most beautiful ambiance, decor, and vibes for a birthday celebration! We had reservations for 4 PM on my birthday (not realizing that there was a half off happy hour from 4 PM - 6 PM)! This was a huge win once we received our bill! Our server (Megan) was absolutely great too We started off with a bottle of champagne; Galla Flatbread; and Short Rib Bao Buns. The Galla flatbread was delicious! The flavors of the evoo, heirloom tomatoes, pickled onion, roasted garlic, cambozola cheese, arugula, and aged balsamic really compliment each other well! The flavors literally burst in your mouth! The short rib bao buns were super great too! The soft bao buns are topped with tender Bulgogi-flavored meat, pickled shishito peppers, and Asian slaw. You may want to request more than one order of the short rib bao buns as one order only consists of two bao buns. Trust me, you will want more! For our main meals, we ordered Single Smashburgers & Fries as well as a side of Mac & Cheese. The smashburgers were packed full of flavor (the Galla burger sauce was divine); the fries were hot and crispy; and the mac and cheese was nice and creamy! The mac and cheese had a bold, pepperjack cheese flavor which is what I feel sets their Mac and cheese apart from other restaurants' mac and cheese! We had so much fun at Galla Park Social and will definitely be back again soon! Thank you for an awesome time and great food!

The service was great but the food not so much. Lacked flavor and portions were very small for price. The bao buns were definitely the best but everything was a let down. The flatbread was drenched in balsamic and the whipped feta was just basically garbanzo beans with a side of feta. The salad had a few slivered almonds and was 95% arugula.

Restaurant by day, club by night. NOT a FAN! Went later in the night and in a blink of an eye they were getting ready for campus club life. No need to compete with the other places in the area. The food portions have changed. The veggie stack is literally a salad. Ordered crab cakes that came out 5 minutes later.... Didn't taste fresh. The salmon was just okay. I wouldn't go again tho.

First time to Galla Park Social for us. Burger week motivated us to come, so glad we did. We were fortunate enough to find street parking on a very busy Friday night so parking was a breeze. However there is a lot right across the street that offers parking as well. You enter and immediately notice the bar is the central focal point. This is clearly an place that goes from dining to social hot spot/bar after the kitchen closes. It has a large two sided bar, seating maybe 15 on each side. It offers plenty of screens to watch sports. Club music, full of bass, plays in the background but not excessively loud--You can still have a conversation without saying "huh... what did you say"There are two main dining alcoves. One has hanging ferns and the other is a series of big rounded taupe booths. The booth area also has a lot tv screens for watching sports. There is also a line of high top tables that run parallel to the bar and patio seating So many options! I prefer the green alcove with the ferns as the lights from the screens is a not excessive over there and the seats are very comfortable. JmoService was great. i really like how the managers interact with the guests and helps out the staff. That is always a good sign when they are willing to help the servers out and then mingle with the guests. I said before, we came in for burger week. I am so glad we did. Out of our three different places we went to this week Gala Park had the best burger... hands down winner, not only in taste but in value. It nailed burger week. For $8 we received a big, smash burger with cambozola cheese, arugula, roasted tomato, galla burger sauce and it was on a great tasting, fresh bun that even had sesame seeds on it. (So nice to not have a brioche or potato bun) fries were also included... and there were lots of them! Omg... it tasted amazing. I think they accidentally sent us the double (burger week was a single) . I looked on the menu and this burger usually costs $22..... and let me tell you.... I cant believe I am saying this but this burger might be one of the few burgers that warrant that price. So good. Also, for a "smash" burger it wasn't paper thin which was appreciated. Oh... just so good!!!They are rolling out new menu items next week. I really like this place. Think we will need to go back and check them out.

I had a disturbing experience at Galla Park Social on 2/08/25 involving one of their employees, Josh M. the VIP manager at this establishment.After making a comment, I was forcibly removed from the bar along with my sister. During the incident, I was shoved and spit on. I found this behavior completely unprofessional and unacceptable. I have witnesses and photo evidence documenting what happened.I have since filed a police report regarding the incident and will also be reporting this to the Ohio Liquor Control Commission. I strongly believe that security staff should be held to a higher standard when dealing with customers.I hope management takes appropriate action to ensure this does not happen to anyone else. Until then, I personally would not recommend this establishment.

I witnessed an assault last night at Galla Park Social. The manager, Josh Muller, spit in the face of a guy he was escorting out. They were arguing but it's inexcusable for him to spit in the face of anyone. Clearly he cannot contain his anger in high stress and has no business being a manager in my opinion. Disgusting and disgraceful.
