I've visited GAIA a few times now, and I really enjoy their lamb empanadas! They're delicious, although I do wish they were a little bigger. The atmosphere is nice, but some of the seating arrangements are rather awkward. I personally prefer sitting inside near the lounge area, where it's warmer, more inviting, and generally more comfortable. Unfortunately, my most recent visit left a sour taste in my mouth. We came for brunch, and while my sister was actively using our hookah, a server abruptly took it away, stating that the cutoff time was 6pm. What made the situation particularly frustrating was that other guests still had their hookahs. The server was incredibly rude about it, and when I brought the issue to management's attention, nothing was done to rectify the situation. I've enjoyed my previous visits, but the way that situation was handled was disappointing, especially considering the inconsistency in how the policy appeared to be enforced. read more

My good gf invited me here for dinner which was fitting since i had bookmarked this spot quite some time ago. The designer for this restaurant put their foot in it ok? It's so visually pleasing. I remember our waiter being friendly and helpful. Overall we were pleased with the food, except for the chicken nuggets with caviar. We'd pass on that for sure. We'd come back to give a few other items a try. read more

I've had so many fun nights at GAIA, it's truly one of my favorite spots in DC! Whether you're looking for a cute dinner, drinks with friends or somewhere to celebrate a birthday, it's such a great spot to spend the evening. The space is beautiful, upscale and super aesthetic, with great music and energy. It's also such a good place to meet people. I feel like I always end up talking to someone new when I'm there. The food is a huge reason I keep coming back too. The branzino is my favorite, but the lobster pasta, lamb chops and skirt steak are all worth trying. The cocktails are delicious, and the staff has always been friendly and welcoming. Definitely one of those places where the food is just as good as the vibe! 10/10, a great time guaranteed. read more

I was in DC on a random Tuesday and my friend and I wanted to grab a bite to eat so we decided to go to Gaia. I had it bookmarked for some time so I was excited to give them a try. When you arrive, they have security posted outside of the restaurant checking ID before you enter. Then when you enter you walk to the hostess stand, who asks you if you have a reservation. We did not have reservations and as a result, our seating options were limited. We ended up getting seated on the end of a row. The menu options are significant however it can get pricey really fast. I ordered the salmon lollipops, sweet plantains and a cocktail. Everything was pretty tasty. Our server was friendly and the music selection was good. The vibe felt a bit pretentious to be honest, but whatever. It wasn't necessarily a horrible experience but I doubt I'll go back. read more

Gaia definitely is a nice vibe! My friend and I came here during the day for a light meal. I ordered one of their cocktails, and to eat, I got calamari, a shrimp skewer on a pita, and cilantro rice. I really enjoyed the shrimp skewer and was marinated with a somewhat sweet sauce. It also went well with the cilantro white rice, which was light and fluffy. I'll definitely come back to experience their night life. read more

Came for a birthday celebration. We had a reservation && had to wait about 20Min to be seated but once we were our server && service was great. Only part that was kind of blah is that our tables were separated for 15 people in same little section This place is loud and there was a saxophone player which was cool. For a Tuesday let me say it was packed but a vibe. A lot of people standing around but that's just folks not knowing how to interact. All the food we got was good and pricing was great. Salmon lollipops, calamari, sauteed spinach, sliders and old fashions. Everything was good-THANK YOU FOR OUTDOING MY EXPECTATIONS. SN: Bathroom line stays long and busy! read more

My friend made reservations here for her birthday. We were a little late due to crazy parking in DC- we had to wait a little for the table to open up. This restaurant was so BEAUTIFUL & modern!! There was regular table seating, a bar section and hookah section throughout the venue. They had a live saxophone player, which was a nice element of surprise. I got the yummy Lobster Pasta, which was served with truffle butter, tomatoes, and parsley. It came as a generous portion so I had plenty of leftovers to take home. They brought out a sparkling candle on top of a doughnut and toasted it with a torch to celebrate my friend's Birthday! The music was loud however no 1's dancing over your table/ food. The service was great and I would love to go back! read more

My non-Yelp friend told me GAIA Superclub was super slick and that I'd love it. At that time, GAIA was relatively new and reservations were tricky, so it took me a while to see for myself. He was right, GAIA is definitely a VIBE! Very chic, soft lighting, contemporary decor, sexy music in the background.. Okay, you got that covered, but what about the food?!?! No worries there.. The food in my DC native tongue was "Like That"!.. Lol!! Meaning, good as h*ll! We enjoyed the calamari, skirt steak, grilled octopus, Gambas Al Ajillo and lobster mashed potatoes.. Delicious is an understatement! Hats off to the chef! GAIA is the latest sexy Mediterranean restaurant that's been popping up throughout the city and it can definitely hold its own! If you want great food and an atmosphere that matches, definitely come to GAIA for a date night they'll remember!.. you can thank me later! :) read more

The Steak , the Bronzino and the Grilled Octopus were my favorites . The service felt a little rushed since they kept clearing the table while we were still eating, which was a bit off-putti But overall, good vibes, great food, and good drinks. I would definitely go again read more

Ok, let's start with the only thing they got right: the ambiance. It's beautiful, chic, dimly lit, and very "IG aesthetic." Perfect for pictures and a cute girls night. But don't get too comfortable because the place is small and packed. And parking in DC? A complete nightmare before you even step inside. Now the crowd... early evening was a vibe. Calm, cute, enjoyable. After 9pm? Whole different scene. Choose your time wisely. The service started off decent, nothing special. Then at the end, it went downhill fast. We asked about dessert and instead of taking our order like normal, the waiter basically dismissed us and brought out random, bland ice cream like we were like, "huh, is you cool, dude?. No explanation, no effort. It felt very much like "you've been here too long, wrap it up." Completely turned me off. Now let's talk about the food, because this is where they really lost me. Our apps/starters came out lukewarm, which already had me side eyeing the kitchen. We tried the caviar golden nuggets, calamari, and lamb racks. Everything was just good. Not amazing but just good, ya know? Then the entrées /mains came out hot, I'll give them that. Skirt steak was seasoned well, branzino was cooked properly, and the lobster pasta tasted rich in the moment... BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT THE AFTERMATH: That same lobster pasta had me and my friend's stomachs on absolute FIRE later (food poisoning). Not a little discomfort. I'm talking headache, stomach twisting, questioning every life decision that led me there. At that point, I don't care how cute the place is. That is unacceptable. How are you going to serve poisonous pasta??? So now I'm sitting here thinking... what exactly did I pay for? Because it definitely wasn't a luxury dining experience. Final verdict: Cute for pictures, terrible follow through. Between the disrespectful ending to the service and the way that food had us feeling after, I will NOT be returning. Ever. Gaia Supperclub DC: pretty face, ugly experience! read more

First things first, do not drive here unless you enjoy a parking situation that will test your character. On the bright side, you're right next to Stan's, so dinner at Gaia and a strong drink next door makes for a solid night out regardless. The space is gorgeous, elevated, the kind of decor that feels curated. But it's smaller than the hype suggests, which explains the strict two-hour dining limit. Main dining or the Atrium are your options; the real difference comes down to when hookah service starts. Our server was pleasant enough knowledgeable about the menu when you needed him, but the pacing was off. The food had its moments skirt steak, branzino, and calamari were all genuinely good. But the overall experience felt like it was riding its reputation harder than earning it. The Tuesday night event draws the crowd, and once you're actually in that space with the clock running, it lands differently than the reviews had me expecting. Prices are as elevated as the aesthetic, so come with your budget adjusted accordingly. I enjoyed it for what it was just not the experience I was sold. Maybe a summer visit changes the energy. For now, I'm in no rush to return. UPDATE: 2 of my friends became ill and we're thinking it's the lobster pasta. I'm the only one who didn't eat it. Yikes. Definitely be on the lookout for that one. read more

Not a bday, holiday, or event just a random Sunday in February, the occasion - ME! My friend picked a few other choices before we decided on this place for dinner. His exact words, wow you've been everywhere. Then he said what about GAIA and honestly I had NEVER heard of this place so GAIA it was. We intended this to be dinner but unfortunately the brunch menu lasted until 6 p.m. That was a bummer because my friend raved about the pasta! Ambiance: Upscale! Too cute! A vibe! SEXY! DRESS ALL the WAY UP! Why? You'll be out of place if you don't! Of course, I came over dressed and fit in perfectly. They do allow hookah but it's in its own little area. I didn't feel smoky at all. Can we talk about the owner for just a few? Okay Gorgeous! This beautiful little itsy bitsy Ethiopian woman sitting in HER restaurant is drop dead gorgeous! Shhhhhhesh! Lucky for me I got to meet her. Thanks for coming by to say hello, not only are you a beauty but you're so sweet and kind! Food came out quick! Nice! Let's get into it! Mango Mimosa - YUMMY -easy to drink $18 Skirt Steak - Served with eggs! Great meal! Shrimp and Grits - Delicious! Dessert - Champagne - why not! Food and drinks were amazing! Service - perfection! This is where the cool kids come. You should too! Surprised I had not heard of it! He's a foodie, so in his tastebuds I trust and he says we are coming back for the dinner menu!

I visited Gaia for the first time in late August 2026 with a girlfriend as part of our little adventure trying new, elevated dining experiences -- and it did not disappoint. The live saxophonist was phenomenal, engaging the whole room and keeping the energy alive. The DJ vibes were also on point, with great tunes of Kaytranada, house music, and lofi tracks -- perfect if you love a good music mix. We went during happy hour, and the place filled up fast. The space is somewhat small, so it got crowded, but that just shows how much of a vibe this spot has. Later in the evening, we were able to find seating and truly enjoy the experience. The food was excellent. The calamari was tasty, and my braised rib was full of flavor with well-balanced seasonings. Drinks were great, too. I considered trying hookah, but it felt slightly overpriced. Overall, Gaia is a fun, lively spot -- perfect for dinner, drinks, or just soaking in the music and vibes. I'll definitely be back. read more

Overall, I had a great time at GAIA! Arriving at the reservation time, we were seated promptly. The decor is very sleek -- everything you would expect. It was dimly lit with music playing. Apparently, there is a live DJ on the weekends. I must go back to experience that. For starters, we had the crispy calamari and grilled octopus. The calamari was fried perfectly and was accompanied by banana peppers. I love banana peppers, so that was a lovely addition. While the octopus was tasty, I did find it to be a bit tough. It was difficult cutting with a butter knife. Tzatziki sauce and olives were plated with the octopus, which balanced it out. I would get the octopus again, but would be cautious. For entrees, we enjoyed the Skirt Steak, Gambas Al Ajillo, and Lobster Mash. The skirt steak was cooked perfectly -- medium well, and tender. The shrimp dish came out piping hot! The shrimp sat atop spinach (a bit salty) and tomatoes. As for the lobster mash, the flavor was there! However, it would have been a little easier to eat if the lobster was cut instead of a huge claw plopped on top of the potatoes. Good...but could have been better executed. All-in-all, a good time. I want to go back and try other dishes. Enjoy! read more

Recently, I was invited to a work-related event at GAIA Restaurant in downtown DC. Since I arrived early, I had time to explore a bit for review purposes. My first impression, the curb appeal was interesting with shiny displays and a roped and carpeted entryway. Once inside, coat check is available. Across from it is bar seating. However, the bar is partially separated by a wall, with the larger portion located on the other side. Speaking of the bar, I decided to order a drink. I tend to gauge bar service by how well they make my favorite cocktail, an Amaretto Sour. Theirs was fair, but I most likely wouldn't order it again. That said, the bartender was cool and kind. From there, I walked around to check out the décor. I'd give their design style an 8/10. I also made a quick stop in the restroom. While it was clean, it lacked a coat hook and tissue (not TP), so I'd rate it a 7.5/10. By then, guests had arrived and it was time to order. The menu is tapas-style, so I chose the wings, lamb sliders, and grilled lamb chops. I thoroughly enjoyed the chops and sliders, but the wings tasted as though they had experienced frostbite. I also sampled a few items from a friend's plate, and those options were good, too; he really liked his selections. Overall, GAIA Restaurant is a nice Washington, DC dining option. I love tapas-style cuisine, and the hostess and waitress were personable and engaging. The atmosphere, music, and overall noise and conversation level were all enjoyable. Recommendation: It's a good choice! read more

This place has good food and a good atmosphere, but some funky policies. I shared with 2 girlfriends from my gym that I had not been here and they both raved about it and convinced me to step outside. We had a reservation for 9PM. At 9:10PM we still had not been seated, but everyone deserves some grace. There was a coat rack and we had to inquire about that. It seemed like they were confused that we asked about it, but alas they took our coats as well. Now let me tell you about our table... we were in the back in a corner so close to the next table that I could not slide between the two tables. I added a picture in case you were curious about how much space. It was less than 6inches. Every time anyone had to get up everyone at the table had to stand up and then we were still so close to the table behind us our butts were brushing against their table. I have 0 complaints on the food. I ordered crab cake, brussel sprouts and calamari. All of it was amazing! We wanted hookah which we asked about when we were seated and informed it was not available until 10PM. Not a problem. At 10:15, we asked for a hookah and our waitress sad we were not allowed to order it because we had a 2 hour limit at our table (not posted on their website). I was confused and annoyed because we are still ordering, she never mentioned that there was a table time limit. We were out for a good night. Finally, she said well you can order but you will only have an hour to smoke. we said "ok". It took another 20+ minutes for the hookah to come and I asked if the hour started once we got it. Mind you the table behind us and the table by the bathroom (larger party) got there before us and were still there not being rushed to leave. She said sure to the 1 hour post receiving the hookah. That did not take place. 40 minutes in she was rushing us out the door. The 3 of us spent $470. I really wish there was just more care in how you share or communicate policies and be fair. read more

I went to Gaia to celebrate my friend's birthday! I was pleasantly surprised! I'm one to believe it's hard for a location to have both the ambience you see on tik tok and have high quality food. At Gaia you can get both, just order right! I enjoyed my lobster pasta 4/5 and devoured my leftovers after the night ended! The saxophonist is vibe and so was the music! I felt like I was in Miami for a second. It was also a great place to watch the Anthony Joshua fight. The hookah is very pricy, starting at $90 I believe. If you're looking for a vibe and want to hang out with a larger group, this is the spot. read more

I finally made it to Gaia Supperclub after having it on my list for a while, and even with the mixed reviews, I truly enjoyed the entire experience! For my drink, I ordered the Enough Is Enough which is like a chocolate-covered-strawberry espresso martini but with tequila. It was unlike anything I've ever had and I really loved it! For appetizers, we shared the crab cake, lamb empanadas, and charred shrimp. For entrées, we went with the braised beef short rib and the Mediterranean-style bronzino, paired with fried plantains and the crispy Latin Brussels sprouts. We enjoyed every dish, though I will say the plantains weren't sweet, so they likely weren't ripe enough. Otherwise, everything was flavorful and well-prepared. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, intimate but not cramped with a quiet, moody ambiance that's perfect for date night. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, from the hosts who greeted us as soon as we walked in to our server who made wonderful recommendations. He even noticed I was struggling to dig into the bronzino and proactively offered to debone it for us, which I really appreciated. All in all, a lovely dinner experience, and I'm already looking forward to going back! read more

I've been here twice and both tunes everything I had was amazing! I got the wings as an appetizer, the tomahawk steak with lobster mash and brussels sprouts. Everything was good! The service is great as well! My husband wore a sweater ass and unfortunately, although he was dressed up, he had to have on sleeves to come in. Gaia still let us hold our reservation while he ran to target to get a shirt to go underneath the sweater vest and offered me a free drink while I waited. The dress code mishap wasn't even their fault, and they still showed great service to me. Of course I will be back! read more

The atmosphere was fun, our waitress was friendly, they have live music after 9:30pm on Friday's, Saturday's & Tuesday's and I appreciated the fact it didn't stink like hookah.. BUT the food is not good except a few apps. I didn't even bother taking pics of my friend's entrees. Jalapeño Cilantro Corn: 1/10. Soggy. Tasted like frozen corn that was microwaved and had been sitting out. There also was zero taste of jalapeño?? Lobster Mash: 0/10. Horrible! The lobster was sooo fishy and the potato's were bland. Do not recommend. Sautéed Garlic Spinach. 2/10. Water logged. Needed salt. Braised Beef Short Ribs: 1/10. Every bite I took was full of fatty pieces of meat... so I stopped eating. Lamb Empanadas: 8/10. Solid. Better than a hot pocket but you only get two for $19??? Salmon Lollipops: 8/10. I wish this was the only thing I ordered and got a dessert. Save your hard earned money and go elsewhere! read more

I've been to Gaia a few times since they've opened and I've seen a decline in the service and the ambiance. It is supposed to be where you go for an elevated experience but my last visit left me questioning if I would visit again. There was a large party with sneakers and booty shorts. Just not what I expect to see in a supper club. And the hostess came over to our table 15 minutes before our allotted 2 hours and told us we had to get up and stand to the side. Excuse me!? Nah, I'm good. read more

This was an interesting experience. I visited for an event, and the venue itself was really cute I could try it again when it's not so busy. However, the service seemed a bit unorganized, possibly because of the event crowd or being short-staffed. My food was mixed up multiple times. At one point, my steak (which I ordered medium rare) was handed to another guest at my table. Once she had already been talking over the plate and about to eat it, I didn't feel comfortable taking it back. I asked for a remake, but it still wasn't correct. By the second attempt, I just switched to a different entrée since the kitchen seemed overwhelmed. The service was slow in parts, but I gave grace the waitress was young, kind, and really tried to make things right. I appreciated her effort. The meal I ended up with was okay, not very hot, but by that point I was hungry and ready to go. Overall, cute atmosphere and friendly staff, but the food and service execution definitely need improvement. I'd give it another shot on a non-event day to see if the experience is better.. read more

I recently went for Brunch with a friend and I enjoyed it here. The music was good and not too loud. Sometimes brunches are loud and I need to hear to enjoy my food, lol. I ordered the crab Mediterranean omelet and it was amazing . It was perfect for what I needed. Something flavorful but light- another plus for me. Some places only have heavy options and it's always too much. My friend ordered the crab cake Benedict. It was amazing as well. The manager checked in with us a few times and was super friendly and accommodating. I love good customer service. Our waiter Daniel was very attentive and helpful. My only problem was the wait time for the food was long. But honestly, the other qualities made up for it. So, I would definitely try again. It wasn't a deal breaker. There's a %20 service charge automatically added but I didn't mind because the service was great. read more

Strictly a bar review! would definitely return for the food as I saw some entrées come out that looked delicious! It's grown and sexy , there's a dress code, there's a DJ, there's a booth ambience, color scheme! Really enjoyed just sitting at the bar and having a drink or two ! It's a large round bar, but still very limited seating, but they allow people to stand and socialize. Many booth seats were available in addition to a couple tables for 2 near the entrance. Definitely make a reservation if you want guaranteed seating. Service was attentive and professional as well. For the price, I've had stronger drinks so I'd consider it very pricey depending on your tolerance read more

Came on a Friday night with my homegirl for a 9 PM reservation. Parking is tough- valet is $25, but I found free street parking after 10 PM. It started off slow but picked up around 11 when it shifted from restaurant to more of a lounge vibe. The vibe is a little confusing to be honest. Hookah is available after 10 and runs $90, which felt overpriced. They also had a live saxophonist walking around, which added to an already overwhelming noise level. It was LOUD AS H3LL- we could barely hear each other talk. Definitely not ideal for a date or dinner catch-up. As a plant-based eater, I found the food options limited. A few salads, hummus tapas, and $13-16 sides with the exception of a side of cilantro lime rice for $8. No entrees for non-meat eaters, which is weird considering the Latin/Mediterranean fusion cuisine. Drinks were decent but not strong. One was listed at $14 on the menu but showed up as $18 on the bill, so double-check your tab. My homegirl ordered the crispy calamari and branzino and she was spitting out bones the entire time she ate that. I ordered tostones (decent, I did ask for a dip to add some flavor, but the ones I make at home taste better), and we both had two drinks a piece and our bill was about $215 (including 20% gratuity that's charged no matter the party size). Overall, it's giving pre-game lounge more than dinner spot- which, to be fair, might be the whole point. I'd maybe return for drinks only if they had happy hour, but wouldn't come here expecting a full dining experience, especially if you're plant-based or looking for conversation-friendly vibes. read more

Of course my friend and I had to check out Gaia, the new hot spot in the city. We had been meaning to go since they opened and we finally made it! We went on a weekday and had no trouble getting a reservation which was a nice bonus. The space is beautiful and elegant with plenty of room to move around. It's perfect for a happy hour, a night out with friends, for partying or even a date night. They also switch things up with different nightly events that include music which adds to the atmosphere and overall vibe. Our server was great. Very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Now let's talk about the food. We started with the short rib sliders, lobster nuggets and wings. The short rib sliders were the stand out for me. Super flavorful and something I will definitely come back for. The wings were also really good. Well seasoned and cooked just right. For the main course we shared the lobster pasta which I really enjoyed and could've have even more. I also had an old fashioned and it was a solid choice and definitely worth having again. Overall we had a great experience. Good food, good atmosphere and a beautiful setting. I will definitely be back to try more off the menu. read more

GAIA is absolutely stunning. Went yesterday evening with my boyfriend for dinner. Walking in truly felt like being transported to a spot with Miami vibes but with DC sophistication. The ambiance is gorgeous, from the lighting to the energy in the space. Service was excellent! Our server, Yanet, was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. She checked in with us regularly and offered helpful recommendations from the menu. I started with the 75 Degrees and Sunny, their twist on a French 75 super which was quite refreshing. For apps, we had the calamari and the lamb sliders. The calamari was crispy and well-seasoned and the lamb sliders were DELICIOUS. For my main, I went with the branzino and side of brussels. the branzino was fresh and the tomato based sauce elevated the dish. The brussels were great too with a balanced combination of sweet and savory. We ended the meal with the baklava cheesecake, which was the perfrct finish. It was just the right balance of nutty and creamy. My only (small) critique is that shortly after we paid the bill, we were kindly asked to finish our drinks within 5 minutes to make space for the next reservation. While I totally get that it's a buzzy new spot with high demand, it would've been helpful to know up front if there was a time limit. Overall, still a great experience. I'd definitely return especially when they start to offer brunch! read more

We celebrated my partner's birthday at Gaia Supper Club and had an amazing experience from start to finish. We were seated quickly, the atmosphere was beautiful, the music was a whole vibe, and the energy felt celebratory without being overwhelming. Our waitress, Maya, truly made the night. She was fabulous, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Every drink recommendation she gave was spot on and elevated the entire experience. You can tell when someone genuinely enjoys what they do and she absolutely does. The cocktails were so good. The salmon bites were incredible and easily a standout. The lobster pasta was phenomenal and packed with flavor. We also tried a few other appetizers and everything was very good overall. We did not love the truffle chips, but they were taken off the bill immediately with zero hassle, which we really appreciated. What made the night special was the service. Maya made us feel celebrated and taken care of, especially since it was a birthday. We were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed ourselves and left with no complaints at all. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back. read more

The bartenders and bar backs were great, but the rest of the experience was AWFUL. One of our friends unexpectedly started her period, had blood running down her leg and was trying to get to the restroom when the employee cleaning it yelled, "I will fight you if you come in this bathroom". Then proceeded to yell and embarrass her in front of all the other customers in the club yelling at her even after she came out of the bathroom repeatedly saying "I will crack you". It was embarrassing, unprofessional, and completely unnecessary. Considering how much money we were willing to spend our weekend here and on our business trips to DC this place really missed out. I work with high net worth clients all over the world and always looking for a consistent place for good food and entertainment. That interaction ruined the experience for our group so we left to another bar. Not a place I'll be recommending to friends, coworkers, or anyone visiting DC. 10/10 would NEVER recommend. read more

I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday, and unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had. I made a reservation for 11:00 a.m., but despite having a reservation, I wasn't seated until around 12:00 p.m. Waiting an entire hour on my birthday before even being seated was frustrating and not the way I expected to start my celebration. After we were finally seated, it took approximately 45 minutes before our waitress came to our table. Once she finally took our order, we waited another 30 minutes just to receive our drinks. Everything throughout the meal took an unusually long time. When the waitress finally came over, she said they were "really busy" and that there was "a lot going on." While I understand that restaurants can get busy, that doesn't excuse leaving customers waiting for such long periods without communication. What made the experience even more disappointing was that her attitude came across as dismissive rather than apologetic or understanding. I specifically chose to celebrate my birthday here because I expected great food and great service. Instead, I spent most of my birthday waitingto be seated, waiting for our server, and waiting for our drinks. It took away from what should have been a memorable celebration. I hope someone from management takes the time to read this review because this experience was unacceptable. I would appreciate being contacted to discuss what happened and to hear how the restaurant plans to improve its service so that other guests celebrating special occasions don't leave feeling as disappointed as I did on my birthday. read more

I recently dined at GAIA, and I must say, the ambience is truly cute and chic . The restaurant has a romantic setting, with a cute aura that really elevates the dining experience. The well-lit mirrors and carefully secluded DJ booth add a unique touch, making it a welcoming spot for a date night or a special outing. We decided to try a few different dishes, starting with the Brussels sprouts and moving on to the shrimp ceviche, calamari, and the lamb sliders. Everything was fantastic and perfectly executed, showcasing a delightful blend of flavors. However, I want to raise a cautionary note about the jalapeño corn. While it was flavorful, it contained A TONNNNN of dairy, which was not listed on the menu. Being sensitive to dairy , I unfortunately ate it and ended up feeling extremely sick afterward. So, if you're avoiding dairy, please be mindful of this dish! Literally got sick immediately and started throwing up. Recommend that the side of corn should list contents if you're gonna be adding milk to it. Threw up my whole $25 drink and ended up having to go home. As for the drinks, the Arctic cocktails are priced between $20 and $26. They're worth trying, but choose wisely! Overall, GAIA is a beautiful place to enjoy delicious food in a lovely atmosphere. Just be aware of the ingredients in some dishes, and you'll have an amazing experience! I do want to try to branzino so maybe I'll go back! And my friends did enjoy the Brussels sprouts. read more

Overall the food was decent but I was a bit shocked because the vibe didnt match a "supperclub" I thought there was a drss code people were dressed any kind of way, I was sat at a table where the hallway led to restrooms so smelled the bathrooms when the doors opened, the server was nice but she was coming to our table every 3-5 minutes Im like girl lol can we finish our next sentence... I will say the Branzino was good & the drink was amazing but it wasnt the experience I thought it would be ... I would come back maybe sit in the main dining hall read more

I recently visited GAIA Supperclub and, unfortunately, the experience fell well short of expectations. The music was extremely loud, and with a saxophonist playing live on top of that, it was nearly impossible to carry on a conversation without yelling. On the food side: I ordered the pasta, and it arrived lukewarm -- not even warm enough to enjoy properly. To add insult to injury, instead of proper dinner napkins we were given cocktail napkins. The condiments were brought in cheap plastic to-go containers, which felt completely out of place for what's being presented as an upscale supper-club vibe. Service wasn't great either: things lacked polish, and the details (napkins, presentation, food temperature) made the whole outing feel more like a flashy club than a restaurant worth savoring. If you're going, go in with the expectation that this is more about the scene than the meal -- and you might avoid being disappointed. read more
