Excellent service! We came for a birthday family and it was a treat for everyone! Asfan was friendly and very accommodating.

Gaia Steakhouse was such a great experience from the moment we walked in! We were greeted immediately by the host staff, which set a welcoming tone for the night. The ambiance was absolutely perfect for a night out. We came during happy hour to celebrate my sister's birthday and we were so happy to have chosen this location. The food was 10/10! we sampled a few items and I truly enjoyed the wagyu sliders (thank me later) and we couldn't keep the fries on the table it was a crowd favorite. A big shoutout to Robert at the bar for the great drinks and excellent service. Elice, the manager, was incredibly attentive, and Yamato also took great care of us throughout the evening. 10/10 service! One thing that really stood out was the thoughtful touch of providing blankets such a cozy detail that made the experience even better. We can't wait to go back and I absolutely recommend this restaurant. read more

Anniversary dinner worst ever! Booked through Open table months ago and they showed cancellations! I ordered Filet Mignon came 3x rare! Horrible service! read more

Huge shoutout to Asfan for the instant VIP treatment at the bar! The vibe here is the ultimate industrial-cute aesthetic. ​Brooklyn killed it as our server--managing a party of 9 is tough, but she made it look easy. My Filet Mignon was 10/10, but the Medicine Woman cocktail stole the heart of the night. If you like extra añejo and mezcal, you need this drink in your life. 100% coming back for more!" read more

I made it back to Gaia and it was just a wonderful as last time if mot better. The moody and sexy decor really bring you to a different place. My aunt and I were having dinner just because and ordered quite a few dishes including the crab cake, mussels, Tomahawk steak, truffle fries, creamed spinach and asparagus. Everything was delicious! The service was top tier from management to the hosts. I can't wait to go back with a hot date. read more

We sat @ the bar for happy hr on a Sunday. We had the whole place to ourselves & this was our first time here. The decor was amazing & so inviting. The bartender was so personable & fun to chat with. By the end of the evening he was like a good friend. We had the calamari, bang bang chicken, steak & tuna tartar. I was not with the chicken or calamari. Both were a bit boring & just like bar food. So far this steak tartar to me is the best in the city beating out the Husky's. The texture was impressive & the flavors of truffle & garlic were spot on. The drink menu is fun & it's a show when you order a smoked old fashioned. read more

Nice spot! Went for a birthday dinner and everything was tasty. Service was good. Nice vibe inside. Very sexy ambiance. I want to go back for their happy hour as well. We had the shrimp appetizer, Ceasar salad, and beef carpaccio to start. My husband got the burger for dinner and I had the lobster ravioli. Super tasty!!!!! Great portions as well. They don't skimp on what you get. For a cocktail I got the lychee drink and it was soooooooooo good and so easy to drink...dangerous lol. I'll definitely be back!!! read more

I was excited to come here during Coolinary. I liked that there were 3 choices for the appetizer and entree and that there was both a wine and whiskey pairing to go with the Coolinary options. I enjoyed the wine pairing and my friends like the cocktail and cocktail mocktail they each ordered. Each of us got a different appetizer (I got the crab cake) and we all liked them. We each got the steak. Two of us got the truffle fries and one person got the corn. Unfortunately, all of our steaks were overcooked and tough. The fries were nothing special. I could get better ones at the Pub up the street. My friend that got the corn said it came out cold. Two of us got the cheesecake, which was great, but I wish the slice was bigger. Makes me think they cut a corner because of Coolinary. One person got the tiramisu and she enjoyed it. We were seated in the bar area and got to see lots of bigger parties come in, so I guess this would be a good place for a celebratory gathering. Our server was excellent, but I did knock down the two stars for the entrees. I might come back for a drink, but would go elsewhere if I wanted a steak. read more

Honestly great steakhouse. Very reasonably priced for the quality and type of restaurant. 10oz filet for $47 that was perfectly cooked, for a filet this size it was definitely worth the money. Started with the burrata which was also a good amount of food. Could definitely be shared by 2 people but not more even though they suggest the appetizers 3 people. The baklava for desert was also very good. The cotton candy tower is definitely not worth the money as but is fun for the spectacle of it all. The weird thing was that they made you close your tab at the bar before being seated in seats of leaving the tab open. And the would not seat the entire party until all the drinks were finished at the bar. Instead of just seating the people who were ready to be seated and the others at the bar could meet them at the table when they were down. They seemed annoyed people were getting drinks at the bar and wanting to bring them to the table. Not sure what that was about. read more

Went here for happy hour and had a great time. The prices are decent for what you get. The tasting menu was $49 for a 3 course meal. Not bad for a high end steakhouse. The ambiance is also very nicely put together. The cocktails were really good as well. I'd reccomend giving this place a try. read more

We celebrated our 8th anniversary at Gaia and honestly, it was an incredible experience from start to finish. They immediately made us feel special. There was a "Happy Anniversary" sign waiting at our table, complimentary champagne, and they even surprised us with free lobster. None of it felt forced or over the top, just thoughtful and genuinely kind. The food was outstanding. The Japanese A5 Wagyu was unreal and cooked perfectly. The crawfish mac and cheese was rich and comforting, the octopus was tender and flavorful, and the French onion soup was one of the best I've had. We also had asparagus, mushrooms, truffle fries, and lamb sliders, and every single dish was solid. No weak links. Dessert was the perfect ending. The pistachio affogato and gingerbread affogato were both creative and really well done. Service was warm, attentive, and effortless. They anticipated what we needed without hovering and truly made our anniversary feel celebrated. Gaia is the kind of place you go for a special moment and leave already planning your next visit. We couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate eight years. read more

We dinned here on their one-year anniversary party so everything was fun that night! The waiters and managers were happy and celebrating and also giving out free cocktails. What a good time to come here for the first time. I want to start by saying I absolutely loved the art and the style of the restaurant. Whoever designed the space, I give props to. I mean there are fake trees throughout the restaurant. I loved it. They have a 3-course dinner menu with the option to pair with wine or whiskey. You will have to ask for it, because the wait staff did not offer that information to us; we were only handed the regular dinner menu. I ended ordering the 3 courses. And the hubs ordered a la carte. My order was the crab cake, the NY strip, and tiramisu. The hubs got the beef carpaccio and ribeye. The crab cake was incredible. So good that I did not get a pic of it! ah! But it had a great crust on it, no fishy taste, just pure goodness. Now the carpaccio is done table side, which we really enjoyed a lot. I love dinner and a show. So, our waitress basically blends all the ingredients together using utensils, while describing the process, and then she rolls up the meat into the shape of a fruit roll-up. I did really enjoy the flavors; it was a very good carpaccio. And the complimentary bread was warm and amazing. On to the meat. I was not blown away by the steak, I will admit the char on it gave it a little bit of a burnt taste which was not appetizing. So, Definity not the best steak I have ever had. The tiramisu was spot on, very good. Lots of coffee flavors that I absolutely enjoyed. Overall, it was a fun, great attentive service, great value for the 3 courses, tasty apps, one of the BEST artistic vibes, but the steak was not a win. read more

I had a horrible experience tonight. It was bad enough that I can promise that I'll never be back again. It took 3.5 hours before we were able to leave because the food took so long. We were not even visibly upset or giving the server grief about it so color me confused when Mimi, our server suddenly started arguing with us. The manager was kind and seemingly apologetic but there were still discrepancies with the bill. Four people left the table after waiting over an hour for entrees, however some items were still reflected on the tab. Mimi came over and said a round of drinks and a bottle of water would be on the house. However, all the drinks were on the bill and then to my utter disbelief she rudely stated she never told us that and that 6 of us all misheard her. (We also never got that bottle of water) I don't understand how an issue in the kitchen (which was confirmed by the manager saying she was disappointed in the kitchen that evening) suddenly turned into our server being rude and losing all sense of customer service....so much so that she ran after me outside saying I never signed my tab and then being incorrect about that. This has left a very sour taste in my mouth and I really feel a way about it. read more

Reserved for Christmas @8, Wait time was a little long but the bar was in the front, took about 30 to 40 min to get seated by waiter, drinks were good , the food was mehh , octopus starter was fresh , steak was practically raw in the middle as it was medium and lacked flavor just tasted like regular butter, weird taste for a filet and ordered short ribs that came with polenta and the polenta was fried into a cake , very oily and not tasty , ruined the dish which was tender but tasted out of a crock pot with au jus, I just ate the two carrots out of it and server was nice , place was kinda small and the manager I guess was checking tables but was fast wasn't really warm just a quick hope your enjoying your meal , I wouldn't go again given the 350+ bill but I hope they improve read more

Open late which is what drew us in here. Vibe inside was nice, all staff seemed very friendly. We enjoyed our server Jasmin, who ended up cooking one of our dishes (Gaia special) table side. The food was so so. Here's what we ordered. Mussles- these were our favorite. Very garlicky, I could have drank the broth with a straw it was so good. We did have quite a few that didn't open (dead and unsafe to eat). The kitchen should probably have caught that before ot came out. Made us question the value (4-5 that we couldn't enjoy). Gaia special prepared table side- we ordered for 2 which was 4 small pieces of steak prepared in butter and 'bone marrow'. Only thing here was the bone marrow seemed hallow but other than that the steak was good, well seasoned and prepared. Spaghetti with Wagu meatballs- SKIP THIS if you want a traditional dish. Sauce had an odd, lemon like flavor, maybe sumac. Not inedible but not enjoyable either. The meatballs were salty, rough on the outside and raw in the middle. Sides- potatoes were very good and the spinach was average but ate more like a spinach dip than a side dish. Table bread- awesome. Slight crust on the outside with soft middle. Terrific dipped in the mussle broth. Overall we probably wouldn't come back here with so many local options but again it was late and we were looking for somewhere walkable from our hotel. Probably a 2.5 but I like to round up, especially since server was so awesome. read more

Came here for happy hour which generously goes until 7:30 pm, Sunday - Friday, and includes food as well as cocktails. A rarity in the city. The ambiance and service are top tier. We got the wagyu sliders (2 per order), which may have been the best burger I've had in a while in the city. We also got the crab cake (1 per order), chicken taco (2 per order), and popcorn shrimp. The crab cake is worth the buy, the taco and shrimp were not. They were good, but I wouldn't get again. The cocktails were fantastic as well. To top it off we finished with the tiramisu, which was amazing. The food and drinks are upscale, portions are small (which is to be expected at fine dining). This is definitely a place you go to if you are looking to impress someone. read more

I came here for a birthday dinner. As soon as I walked in I was greeted. When you walk in there is the bar in front and red chairs and tables. I sat at the bar while waiting on everyone else, and ordered the women medicine, it was garnished with a ginger candy. The drink was really good, perfect amount of alcohol to other ingredients and not sweet. I ordered the New York Strip and sautéed mushrooms. The steak was cooked to perfection, I order medium. The mushrooms were flavorful. I would go back and try more on the menu. read more

The restaurant is beautiful and has a great ambiance. The host was very friendly but somehow we couldn't be seated by our reservation time and we were forced to wait by the bar. I ordered the stranger in paradise and it was the best thing I had the entire night. My Caesar salad was flavorful and generously dressed. The waitress stated two portions would be enough for 9 people, completely exaggerating the size. I split it with another individual and that was my entree for the night. To no surprise the only large portion was the plate it was served on, so I left hungry. The crawfish Mac was flavorless just elbow pasta in yellow water. The kitchen refused to take it off the bill even though it was not consumed which lets me know this is a regular occurrence. Overall a very expensive mediocre and less than memorable experience. read more

Horrible experience. For a table of 10, it took almost an hour and a half for our dinner to come out. Our waitress MiMi kept gaslighting our group stating that the food would be out shortly. With the long wait of the food, it should have come out piping hot, but the crab cake was room temp. Also, as a waitress, it's VERY disrespectful to argue back and forth with your guests over something that she clearly stated would be taken off of the bill. I will never step foot back into that establishment. Terrible experience!!! read more

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. read more

Everything was AMAZINGGGGG!!! The Lychee Rosè is a must try! The Caesar salad was good, not your ordinary Caesar salad ! Drinks were very good ! The service is beyond amazing ! The food was ok! We had the lamb chops, cream of spinach, and macaroni and ribeye. We had a great time, and loved every bit of it !!! The ambiance was amazing ! read more

A big shout out to Paulo (maitre'd) and Eliece (delightful bartender), for your attention to detail and accommodating my recent diet restrictions. Eliece created a nonalcoholic spritzer that was beautiful and delish! (photo below) Gaia's COOLINARY MENU was well worth it with selections of beef and seafood. I was pleasantly surprised to see my favorite appetizer on their COOLINARY menu. THEIR OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER ARE THE BEST served perfectly heated with just the right amount of spinach and cheese! I could make a meal of them and nothing else. The green salad with strawberries, blue cheese, almonds, etc. was quite generous and delicious. My fillet of rainbow trout was presented steaming hot, fresh and crispy on top with delicate, flaky flesh........ exactly the way I like my fish. Marty enjoyed a tender and generous strip steak. Thanks, P and E for making us feel like honored guests! read more

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. read more

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. read more

The waitress did give us a compliment shot of tequila for our wait.

They also have an amazing cotton mannequin head. Sooo pretty. overall experience I'll give it a 8 out of 10. read more

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. read more

Delicious cocktails and out of this world steaks! Had the mezcal Negroni, the Gaia Exotic salad, Spanish Octopus, and the tomahawk. Crab cake was pricey for the serving size, but the salad was definitely an entree size, and the tomahawk was so huge we came home with leftovers. One suggestion would be more vegetable sides. I would've loved to see a mushroom medley, some roasted Brussels sprouts, or a nice sautéed kale on the menu. Overall, GAIA is a great option for date night and other special occasions. read more

They were very busy our food took 2 hours we had a 6:45 reservation we didn't get food until 9:00. The manager kept telling us how busy they were but continued to seat people. The service was good the kitchen under cooked 2 steaks and a lobster at our table. Btw we had a 6 top. 4 out of 6 had a problem with their food. The manager deducted 10% and the check was still over $600 I don't mind paying for great food but am not a fan of mediocre. atmosphere was okay kinda weird Christmas trees hanging upside down from the ceiling. The sliders were a big chunk of bland meat. read more

Gaia Steakhouse absolutely nailed it. The food was outstanding -- easily the best Japanese A5 Wagyu in the city. They really do steak night right. The Pappy bourbon was a great touch and paired perfectly with the meal. What stood out the most was the hospitality. Some of the best service I've experienced anywhere -- attentive, polished, and genuinely welcoming. On top of that, the ambiance is top tier and truly stands out in New Orleans. Highly recommend if you're looking for great steak, great service, and an elevated dining experience. read more

came here on a slow night. our server was very welcoming and kind, and the vibe of the restaurant was nice. i ordered a caesar salad to start, which was very good! for entrees, i ordered the wagyu hamburger, and my friend ordered the spaghetti with wagyu meatballs. the hamburger meat tasted awful--very overcooked, underseasoned, dry, and almost tasted spoiled. my friend's meatballs were the same situation, except the sauce on the pasta was also DISGUSTING! i am not sure what kind of marinara this was but it was genuinely one of the worst things i have ever had. my friend and i do not normally complain about food, but we asked to send this back and we were able to replace this with the sliders, which were much better than the burger for some reason. maybe the steaks are great-- i couldnt tell you because i didnt order one, but i would not recommend read more

We went to Gaia steakhouse restaurant to celebrate my niece's 30th birthday. The Service was awesome Paolo was leading Farrah and Joel. Farrah was so friendly she could've sat down and talked with us all night. The food was impeccable. We loved the macaroni and cheese, creamy spinach We got everything. We highly recommended for Steak House. The price was very reasonable. Would definitely check it out again when I'm in New Orleans. read more

I'm so disappointed in Gaia. The good: Ambiance, service staff, decor The 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. read more

Honestly this was the worst, most frustrating experience I've ever had at a Steakhouse. Unfortunately, I will never be returning. We began with the Chargrilled Oysters (5/10) and Spanish Octopus (8/10) appetizers. We also shared a Caesar salad (10/10) which was really good. We then ordered the Gaia Special (9 oz) to be shared. It's priced at $95 and comes with a table side experience. However, our table side experience was nonexistent when the waiter had to take the steak back to the chef in the kitchen to finish cooking. Not sure why. While we waited for the steak, our sides and steak enhancements sat idly on the table long enough to now be room temperature instead of hot enough to enjoy. When the steak was brought out, it was well done when we asked for it to be medium. The manager and waiter both displays numerous forms of racism as we expressed concerns with the meal. Although the ambiance and aesthetic were impressive, the experience and the food were not. Unfortunately, we will not be patronizing this establishment again. read more
