GAIA Steakhouse

Eliece the bar tender was cool! Good service. I came for happy hour. I had the short ribs and sangria. I'm very particular sangria. It was definitely on point! Very nice for the Christmas season. The short ribs was succulent. It was the perfect snack.The restaurant ambience was magnificent. And the tunes were good! I've definitely found a new spot to come too! Can't wait to come back and try the dinner menu.

Very underwhelming and overpriced.Ambiance was good.... Service wasn't good in my opinion to be adding an 18% service charge for a table of 4 is insanity. Didn't know that ahead of time.Our waitress def didn't do $70 worth of service so i was annoyed about that. The mac and cheese was bland.My lobster ravioli was good but my friends didn't care for their lamb chops...The star of the sides were the fingerling potatoes and that says a lot!! Wouldn't be back!! I'm going to stop looking for leads on TikTok and come to Yelp like i usually do!Not impressed.

I tried this place recently for a birthday dinner. They were great at accommodating a large party. The appetizer choices weren't to my liking or spark of my interest. The creamed spinach was delish. The crawfish mac and cheese was good but lacked seasoning. With salt and pepper added, it was much better. I often have fears of my steak being overcooked. My steak was perfect! The cotton candy on a mannequin head is a cute touch for dessert. The staff were very nice. The bartender was amazing. The restaurant was a bit warm in temperature which didn't allow for the most comfortable dining experience.

This is probably going to be one of my longest reviews. Let's start by saying that I've been dying to try Gaia since they opened. I ventured over for happy hour (4:30-630 M-F) and I was wow'd by the prices! All the food is $9 and specifically cocktails, wine, and beers are 40% off. The ambience was cute for a date night but I came with my mama haha!I'm a big fan of the lychee martini and the lychee and rose was PERFECT for my palette. My mom really enjoyed the hibiscus margarita but our top fav was definitely the Strangers in paradise. Now on to the food....we got the chargrilled oysters which didn't necessarily wow me. I got them Rockefeller style and it definitely could've used a bit more flavor. The meatballs and waygu sliders were soooo good flavor wise but a bit on the salty side. The bruschetta was good but nothing spectacular. All in all, I would definitely go back for happy hour and I'm excited to go back to do dinner. Our bartender was really nice and knowledgeable of the drinks and what drink I would like best based on my normal drink orders.

Disappointing ExperienceWe decided to try this restaurant based on positive Yelp reviews and made a reservation for our party of 12 at 8 pm. Unfortunately, the service and food were mediocre. We specifically requested our server, Lynn, to take our entire order at once so everything could be served together. Despite this, after our drinks and appetizers arrived, we waited an additional 90 minutes for our main courses. We only received our food after questioning why parties seated after us were being served first.The tomahawk steak, which we requested medium rare, arrived raw. When we spoke to the manager on duty (MOD), he blamed Lynn, claiming she delayed placing the order. However, we had clearly asked for everything to be ordered together. When we requested a replacement steak, we were told the kitchen was closing for cleaning and they couldn't accommodate our request.To compensate for the inconvenience, the MOD offered us a free white tea shot and cotton candy, which felt inadequate given the circumstances. Our total bill was nearly $2000, and this experience left us extremely disappointed. We will not be returning.

Bad. Don't go. No love in the food. Got the octopus. Opps they are out of the chimichurri that is supposed to come with it. Fine. Don't want octopus. Oh, we can make chimichurri. Cold and flavorless food. And they fought with me when I wanted to send it back. Place was empty on a Friday at 9pm. Mardi Gras parades everywhere. No one in this empty place - for good reason

Throughly enjoyed myself at Gaia! I end up going on a night while it was storming like crazy. Once we pulled up to the door, there was a gentlemen who met us at the car w| an umbrella. I love that they thought about their customers enough to do that.The atmosphere is really chill and laid back. Perfect for a date night or girls night out. I end up ordering a Filet Mignon w| Macaroni and mushrooms-- amazingly amazing. I love how they sprinkle sea salt on the steak once it's cut in front of you. I've always believed that a steak is really top tier if you don't need steak sauce and I absolutely didn't need it at all. It was the perfect temperature and I could actually taste the steak instead of it being overly seasoned. I ordered a super cute drink (can't think of the name, rose something?) which came w| an actual frozen rose that was sprinkled over the table and a rose popsicle.I can't wait to go back to this establishment. Food + service was excellent.

I'm so disappointed in Gaia. The good: Ambiance, service staff, decorThe bad: Wagyu steak was a joke. It came in two pieces. I have never in my life been served a steak in two pieces, much less a $140 steak. And they were two teeny-tiny pieces. And one of the teeny-tiny pieces was a hunk of gristle. The lobster Mac and cheese was tasty, but we couldn't find any lobster in the dish. It was like a basic, creamy Mac and cheese.The burgers were ok.Sooooooo....2 burgers, a 6 oz wagyu steak, lobster Mac and cheese, and 4 cocktails. Over $500. I don't think we'll return.

I came to Gaia for a birthday dinner with my fiance. I came here because it was supposed to be upbeat eclectic steak house. The place has a beautiful curated ambiance, but the music when we got here was putting me to sleep and had Billie Eilish style of covers of other songs and was not it.The table we sat was in a cute little back room and was very personal but the table legs were a little uncomfortable and the table was a little too far but it had some style with it. The service was great, it was fast, everything was explained and even the awesome cut of our steaks with salt bae action display was super cool. Just remember if you want to take a picture of the steak tartare with the quail egg make sure you let them know because they squashed it and was not able to to do the squashing myself. Which I like to do. As far as the appetizer flavors and display we got the Spanish octopus which was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing with the chimichurri which had a nice little spice kick to it that was perfect. We also had the steak tartare with the quail egg and caviar that was super delicious and citrusy bringing all the flavors together. Our main dish were the private reserve cut and the filet mignon. The private reserve cut was cooked perfect for a medium rare and the filet mignon was slightly overcooked to a medium instead of a medium rare but the quality of meats were great and super tender and delicious. We paired the steaks with Sautéed mushrooms and that was a great pairing. Finally we had the espresso drink, but switched it with a reposado don julio and a bottle of CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE bottle of wine which was delicious. Their pricing was pretty on point for a steak house and they had a very large wine selection which I did appreciate. Finally the dessert was the ice creams. We loved the ice cream flavors which was the mango, pistachio, chocolate and red bean. They had an outside of white chocolate that was quite overpowering and took away from the ice creams. The chocolate paired well with its outside regular chocolate not white chocolate exterior. The mango tasted well with the white chocolate but the pistacho the white chocolate took away from it. The red bean was too light that you can barely taste even with just the ice cream itself. They do not bring or make the reservation any more special for birthdays, which is something I did appreciate from gw fins and other nice restaurants even if they did a free Dessert taster that would be an awesome add. Service fee is included. I will come back but please keep the music nice and vibey, house music, disco, funky, lo-fi but not Billie eilish style.

Never sent a steak back till todayOrdered 6 reserve steaks. All six wrong temp. Was suppose to be medium. They took them back and brought them back well done and tasted like the grill Only 1 steak was properly cooked the 2nd time. Lobster Mac and cheese was changed to crawfish Mac. Horrible fishy taste Would not recommend this place Very disappointed
