    My reservation was for 8:00pm. We arrived at 7:45pm and the hostess told us to grab a drink at the bar while they set up our table. Walking in, it’s beautiful. Bartender was nice and quick. Great tasting drinks , recommend the Medicine Women!!!!! 8:00pm rolls around , we still aren’t seats. 8:10pm, the hostess grabs us and brings us to our table. Yay? No it gets worse from here. We sit down for our date night and 8:15pm no server checks on us. 8:20pm, still no server. 8:25pm is when the server came to our table. We ordered more drinks, appetizers and our main course. She said she would course it out timingly and we appreciated her for it and that she would bring out bread for us to snack on. Server walks by multiple times, time goes on. We are thirsty , our bottled still water wasn’t brought out to us yet and no bread. 9:00pm….. NINE is when bread came out and our drinks. And from this, I knew it was going to be a long time. For apps we ordered Half dozen chargrilled Rockefeller oysters and French onion soup. 9:30 is when we got our oysters. 1- too much spinach and they weren’t hot. 9:44pm is when we got our French onion soup and when I say this was so so salty. It was so so salty. I took one bite and I was done. Not much longer our steak and sides came out. Two filets (one medium rare & one medium), side of crawfish Mac and cheese, asparagus. Well, one steak was basically rare and mooing still (my “med rare” steak, and my husbands came out rare for his “medium steak”. The crawfish Mac and cheese and the steaks weren’t seasoned enough. Why didn’t we send the food back? Our waitress barely came to our table. Even the table next to us had to ask the food runner where their server was and where their food was because it had been awhile. The lady in the white coat that took care of us at the end was attentive. We got our boxes and check from her. Didn’t even see our server for the rest of the night. First and last time here at Gaia. Sad

    The food was not seasoned. I got the catch of the day which was some fish and it lacked plenty of seasoning. The crawfish mac n cheese was lacking flavor and cheese. It was quite dry. The drinks were pretty good, I got the margarita. The service was not that good except 1 of our waitresses was new and she was really nice. I would not come back here because it is not worth the price.

    Steaks were cooked to perfection. The dry aged Tomahawk was one of the best steaks I have eaten. The service was excellent!!. If you are looking for a nice place where you can dress up or be causual for date night, I highly recommend GAIA.

    2 hours and we never got our food. I asked for the bill of our drinks and appetizer and they said no, wait for a manager. Ten min later no manager so we left, this was on NYE and my wife’s birthday eve. Ruined our night as nearly every other place was closed when we left

    We had a fantastic time. Our waiter, Brett, was fantastic. The food was phenomenal. The tuna tartare was beyond heavenly. I will forever be dreaming of the filet mignon. We definitely plan on returning!

    It was the worst meal experience. From the food, service, management all of it! All steaks came out overdone . They were grey they were so cooked. We complained, the manager argued that the chef checked them all before sending them out and they were 135 degrees. Which was just obviously a lie. We asked for oysters, he delivered to the wrong people. We had seven items never show up, that were salads and side dishes, which they ended up not charging us for, but still. We never got our first drink until 47 minutes after we arrived. Very pricey for it to be that bad. Would not recommend
