Skip all of the touristy steakhouses in the French quarter and go to Gaia!! This place should be on everyone's list! The food was amazing and the service was fantastic!! Best service I've gotten in New Orleans. The cocktails were hand crafted and looked as good as they tasted! The whole place is beautifully decorated as well! We will definitely be back!

Wanted to find a place to eat on our last day in NO. This place was 10/10 the best. It was happy hour so I tried a good amount of food and the crab cake and shrimp was the best. Our bartender ELiECE was great, he checked in on us every chance he got. The decor of the restaurant was instagram worthy the host gave us a tour of the restaurant and showed up the see through cooler. I highly recommend this place

I arrived at Gaia around 5:30pm for my 6pm reservation. The restaurant was bascially empty which doesn't deter me from trying somewhere, but the hostess had called asking if I wouldn't mind sitting in the bar because I was a reservation of 1. I was hesitant at first because although it was just me, I really wanted to sit at a table, not a bar seat, but thankfully their bar area has low tables. The bar tender was good, he promptly took my order and answered any questions I had. I won a $125 giftcard for the restaurant and decided to take myself on a solo date. They had a summer menu which was basically a tapas menu that I enjoyed and think is a great idea to have! The filet mignon and lobster mac & cheese was 100/10 and I would run back to order that!! The meatballs, crab cakes and creme brûlée weren't nasty but nothing to remember. I think if you're looking for a new, upscale spot to try, Gaia is worth checking off your list.

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.

Always have a good time here! The service is top notch and the food is amazing. I do enjoy the vibe especially the booths. They're very private and decorated nicely. My husband goes with his friends and me, sometimes. I guess he's become a "regular" so they definitely go beyond to be sure we have a good experience. I appreciate that.

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 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.
