Went here 5/8/26 for the 1st time, had a reservation for 6pm. Arrived a few minutes early & was seated immediately. What can I say about this place? 1 word....DELICIOUS!! We had the spicy feta dip for our appetizer...YUM! Our main dish was the stuffed chicken...MOUTH WATERING! Desert was the red velvet cake....STELLAR!!!! The staff was very attentive & friendly. The vibe was nice as well; loved the music! The restaurant is very spacious & doesn't make you feel too crowded at your table. The price for the presentation, quality & taste of the food was fair. We will definitely be back here soon! Thanks for a great date night dinner. read more

This is a beautiful space. Galla Park Social opened up just for the Forbes Under 30 Summit group. It was nice of the management and staff to open up for us. The menu had a decent selection. We tried the truffle fries and the crispy rice. The truffle fries were fantastic and had a lot of flavor. The crispy rice was decent. It was a bit on the drier side but had some good flavor. read more

The staff is great especially Kate who is always a Ray of sunshine. The food is getting better. Josh the manager is a great guy. The best dance club by far in the short north. read more

My biggest takeaway from dinner at Galla Park is if it's not happy hour, it's not worth it. There was next to no tuna on the crispy rice and although it looks pretty, was not much more than warm sushi rice with spicy mayo on top. Everything else was just okay, and I got the same feedback from all the different orders my friends got. In terms of food happy hours, I would say there are definitely a handful of better spots in the Short North. read more

Modern with a touch of chill vibe. Great place to grab a bites or for a date night It happen to be happy hour and definitely have some great line up for that as well. May need to have another visit just for that. That Calabrian Scallops would be my favorite, especially that Calabrian chili sauce. read more

Galla Park Social offers the most beautiful ambiance, decor, and vibes for a birthday celebration! We had reservations for 4 PM on my birthday (not realizing that there was a half off happy hour from 4 PM - 6 PM)! This was a huge win once we received our bill! Our server (Megan) was absolutely great too We started off with a bottle of champagne; Galla Flatbread; and Short Rib Bao Buns. The Galla flatbread was delicious! The flavors of the evoo, heirloom tomatoes, pickled onion, roasted garlic, cambozola cheese, arugula, and aged balsamic really compliment each other well! The flavors literally burst in your mouth! The short rib bao buns were super great too! The soft bao buns are topped with tender Bulgogi-flavored meat, pickled shishito peppers, and Asian slaw. You may want to request more than one order of the short rib bao buns as one order only consists of two bao buns. Trust me, you will want more! For our main meals, we ordered Single Smashburgers & Fries as well as a side of Mac & Cheese. The smashburgers were packed full of flavor (the Galla burger sauce was divine); the fries were hot and crispy; and the mac and cheese was nice and creamy! The mac and cheese had a bold, pepperjack cheese flavor which is what I feel sets their Mac and cheese apart from other restaurants' mac and cheese! We had so much fun at Galla Park Social and will definitely be back again soon! Thank you for an awesome time and great food! read more

Went for happy hour and I will say they had some great deals, $7 signature cocktails and food options. For the happy hour pricing I would be back but I don't think I would choose to dine here otherwise. Service was okay but it took about 20 minutes to find our server when attempting to get the check. read more

It's my second time coming to this restaurant and still very please with the cleanliness and hospitality I would like to give a shout out to the waitress, hostess and server Alexus she was very helpful with the new menu and guarantee that the quality of the food was still good and she couldn't have been wrong. It was really great. She was hands-on and very comforting to our needs in a timely manner while she was working other table keep up the good work. I will tell others about this great restaurant. read more

Love this place!!! Great food and music. The staff is always nice and friendly. Our servicer Alexus was great. She knew the menu very well gave some great suggestion. She checked in with us periodically and made us feel very welcome. Anything we needed she was on top of it. When we come back again I am definitely going to request her again. read more

Restaurant by day, club by night. NOT a FAN! Went later in the night and in a blink of an eye they were getting ready for campus club life. No need to compete with the other places in the area. The food portions have changed. The veggie stack is literally a salad. Ordered crab cakes that came out 5 minutes later.... Didn't taste fresh. The salmon was just okay. I wouldn't go again tho. read more

Overall 7/10 not bad, but not for me Very nice restaurant with friendly extremely friendly staff. Came for my brother's birthday and made a reservation via open-table. It was for Sunday Afternoon so even though we switched reservation times, they still had our table ready and we were the only people there besides a few at the bar(it was NFC/AFC championship night). Our waitress was super friendly and explained everything that was asked. Amazing ambiance, perfect for their midnight club scene. All of the food took a very long time to come out, but when it did, it was delicious and hot. As i previously said, it was AFC/NFC night so i give the chef a brake, there was most likely only one and we ordered 7 plates. I had the salmon, which was super tender 8.3/10. I will post the rest of the food my family had, they all said it was pretty good. You're really paying for the location and ambiance. As a restaurant, it's not bad, but I would personally go elsewhere. If you want a drink or a quick bite with a small group and you're in the area, I would recommend it. Parking is tricky, i recommend rides share if possible. The parking spots behind the building are for UDF, with a few unlabeled spots, but they seem like tow-away traps. First come first serve parking on E 1st Ave. read more

10/10 atmosphere, loved it! The staff was on point, went for a late dinner on a Saturday night and truly enjoyed the scallops and smash burger! If you are a tequila person, I recommend the Paloma. read more

The service was great but the food not so much. Lacked flavor and portions were very small for price. The bao buns were definitely the best but everything was a let down. The flatbread was drenched in balsamic and the whipped feta was just basically garbanzo beans with a side of feta. The salad had a few slivered almonds and was 95% arugula. read more

Service was above average. Food wise , it was the worst hamburger "Smashburger" I've ever tasted in my life, no flavor and was just wet. I'd rather eat a patty between cardboard than what I was served tonight. My wife's ribeye tasted like a Salisbury steak plus. Needless to say, I'll never step foot in this establishment again & I see why the one in Cincinnati went out of business now. Great scenery tho read more

First time to Galla Park Social for us. Burger week motivated us to come, so glad we did. We were fortunate enough to find street parking on a very busy Friday night so parking was a breeze. However there is a lot right across the street that offers parking as well. You enter and immediately notice the bar is the central focal point. This is clearly an place that goes from dining to social hot spot/bar after the kitchen closes. It has a large two sided bar, seating maybe 15 on each side. It offers plenty of screens to watch sports. Club music, full of bass, plays in the background but not excessively loud--You can still have a conversation without saying "huh... what did you say" There are two main dining alcoves. One has hanging ferns and the other is a series of big rounded taupe booths. The booth area also has a lot tv screens for watching sports. There is also a line of high top tables that run parallel to the bar and patio seating So many options! I prefer the green alcove with the ferns as the lights from the screens is a not excessive over there and the seats are very comfortable. Jmo Service was great. i really like how the managers interact with the guests and helps out the staff. That is always a good sign when they are willing to help the servers out and then mingle with the guests. I said before, we came in for burger week. I am so glad we did. Out of our three different places we went to this week Gala Park had the best burger... hands down winner, not only in taste but in value. It nailed burger week. For $8 we received a big, smash burger with cambozola cheese, arugula, roasted tomato, galla burger sauce and it was on a great tasting, fresh bun that even had sesame seeds on it. (So nice to not have a brioche or potato bun) fries were also included... and there were lots of them! Omg... it tasted amazing. I think they accidentally sent us the double (burger week was a single) . I looked on the menu and this burger usually costs $22..... and let me tell you.... I cant believe I am saying this but this burger might be one of the few burgers that warrant that price. So good. Also, for a "smash" burger it wasn't paper thin which was appreciated. Oh... just so good!!! They are rolling out new menu items next week. I really like this place. Think we will need to go back and check them out. read more

A HUGE thank you to the service tonight at Galla Park Social. I went to Galla Park Social on Thursday this past week and unfortunately left my credit card there. I tried calling multiple times and did not get ahold of anyone but when I went in, they definitely made up for it. I talked to the Kenny & Bobby and they set my party up with a private table and champagne to celebrate my friends mom's bachelorette party. This is now my second time at Galla and I highly recommend it to anyone that is in the Columbus area. On Thursday, I got the opportunity to have happy hour pricing and I kid you not the best happy hour deals I have found in awhile. I got two watermelon mojitos for $7 each and they are OBSESSIVE. I also tried the Surf sushi bowl with tempura shrimp, sushi rice, spicy mayo, ginger, ponzu, and unagi glaze. Super good but small portions. Tonight, I tried the Spicy Tuna Poppers with spicy tuna stuffed jalapeños, asian slaw, wasabi-avocado spread, and unagi glaze. All food is AMAZING but a little pricey for me without happy hour. Such a great location and the restaurant/ bar is setup so perfect. It's gorgeous. I'm so impressed. Tonight's experience made me love this place even more! Can't wait to come back soon. read more

What happens at @gallaparksocial stays at Galla, EXCEPT for spreading the word about this NEW menu because it is fire The new ambiance here is amazing. We had great friendly & fast service as well! . . - DRINKS: * The Bubble - Ketel Citroen vodka is it's triple sec, peach schnapps, pineapple juice and grenadine. This was delicious but the main star is of course the presentation! * Watermelon Mojito - Bacardi based with watermelon purée, simple syrup, lime juice and mint leaves. I am a big mojito girl and I loved the watermelon touch! - TO SHARE: * Roasted Carrots - These were so good, cooked perfectly and had the best dip with them * Curds & No Whey - - The best crunch but also so soft & full of flavor, the sriracha ranch paired with it was amazing. - ENTREES: * Teriyaki Salmon - This was my favorite part of dinner, salmon was cooked perfectly, the sushi rice was extremely soft, charred broccolini had a great sear, and the sesame carrot ribbons was a nice crunch and touch of flavor. I will definitely order that again * Filet Mignon - Nathan really enjoyed his filet, the cook on it was perfect. * GP Smash Burger - Feedback from Nathan was that the burger was nice and juicy with great flavor, the cheese was delicious and he loved the seasoned fries! read more

I had a disturbing experience at Galla Park Social on 2/08/25 involving one of their employees, Josh M. the VIP manager at this establishment. After making a comment, I was forcibly removed from the bar along with my sister. During the incident, I was shoved and spit on. I found this behavior completely unprofessional and unacceptable. I have witnesses and photo evidence documenting what happened. I have since filed a police report regarding the incident and will also be reporting this to the Ohio Liquor Control Commission. I strongly believe that security staff should be held to a higher standard when dealing with customers. I hope management takes appropriate action to ensure this does not happen to anyone else. Until then, I personally would not recommend this establishment. read more

Door man was weird and opened the rope to let people in in front of us but made us walk all the way down and around the way down and around even tho there was no line???? Odd behavior read more

We (party of 4) did not have a good experience here. We had a reservation for 8pm, but when we showed up on time we still had to wait several minutes for a table. Then, we sat for 30 minutes without a waitress, and had to flag down somebody to get service. They gave us free drinks and a free appetizer, but the service continued to be slow and subpar. Towards the end we walked into the bathroom and saw a large group of waitresses loitering in the bathroom talking. I'm assuming they hide out there often hence the bad service. The food was fine but nothing special. I would not recommend - it feels like a club masquerading as fine dining. read more

Galla's happy hour is not talked about enough. It's a fantastic deal and the food was delicious. I was surprised! I had been to Galla in both Columbus and Cincy when they had one, for drinks and night life. It was always just fine. I kept getting ads on insta about their happy hour, so decided to just see what it was about. We arrived early at 5ish, and were pretty much the only people there. We ordered their drinks on special, a rice bowl, salad, tuna poppers, and salmon cakes. All were discounted. They were seriously so delicious! I absolutely love arugula salad and this one was huge! The bartender was so so sweet and we had a great conversation with her. She had bought us shots after our meal. I truly think Galla can become a great dinner spot if they market their happy hour more and show off their food! Similar to what Townhall does, they should invite people in and treat them to a meal in exchange for content and/or Yelp or google reviews. With the location being dark on the outside, it's really hard to know what's inside if you don't know where and what Galla is. It solely looks like a club, which may turn away customers. Especially during the summer, the patio is great for dinner. I definitely recommend checking Galla out! read more

The side of mac and cheese was ok. It has a little kick of spice but as for flavor it was lacking. It needed more seasoning. I liked that my food was hot in temperature though which good. It has white cheddar and queso for the base so if you like that then you'll love this dish. I personally wasn't a fan of the queso. read more

Will never return. We arrived on time for our 8 pm appointment and were seated promptly. It went downhill from there. Took 10 minutes to get a server and placed our drink and apps order. 2 of the 3 drinks came out and were undrinkable (pretty sure my martini was just straight vermouth) and the 3rd was served in a plastic bottle resembling a child's cup. We placed our food order only to find out that they were out of the salmon...so I ordered the chicken...the waitress came back about 10 minutes later to tell me that they were out of the chicken but failed to bring a menu back. Another 10 minutes pass...still no appetizer. At 8:45 we asked for our check but had to wait another 10 minutes for the manager to process the check. The one saving grace is that they gave us our drinks for free - but that's an hour of my life I'll never give back. We tipped the waitress and left. Horrible experience. read more

Went to Galla Park on a Saturday evening for a friend's birthday dinner. The service was beyond slow. We waited atleast 30 minutes to get drinks from the bar and how to remind our server to check on our drinks. As an appetizer, we ordered the Curds No Whey, which were very tasty. However for my entree I got the teriyaki salmon and it was doused in salt. I've never had salmon or rice so salty. Overall, it was a lackluster experience. read more

We moved to the area at the beginning of the year and love all of the variety in food choices! I was excited to see this new spot open up and thought Friday was the perfect night to try it. We got there early, about 5pm. Upon arriving, we told the hostess we preferred to sit at the bar and she took us back quickly. She and everyone else greeted us with a smile and seemed genuinely happy that we came. Once we sat, we were quickly greeted by a few bartenders and given food and drink menus and told about the happy hour specials and given some drink suggestions. I ordered wine and he ordered a classic margarita. Our food was great! I ordered the stuffed chicken (more of the cream sauce!!! It is life!!!) And he got the blackened shrimp which was also really good! All in all, we were pleased with the service, drinks and food. I really liked the decor and you could tell it turns into more the club scene at night, similar to some other places near by. Will be visiting again! read more

I witnessed an assault last night at Galla Park Social. The manager, Josh Muller, spit in the face of a guy he was escorting out. They were arguing but it's inexcusable for him to spit in the face of anyone. Clearly he cannot contain his anger in high stress and has no business being a manager in my opinion. Disgusting and disgraceful. read more

went for dinner for a birthday. Kelvin and his crew catered to us and made my daughter feel extra special!

6 people showed after me and got service while I still sat waiting - they SUCK. Poor excuse for a business.

I had stopped off at Galla Park for dinner on my way home from work and had a phenomenal smash burger. I ended up having a mixed drink and beer since both the bartenders and bar backs were personable and hospitable. They made me feel comfortable and were great conversationalists while still working with other guests. I had the pleasure of talking with Cole for a decent time while he was able to maintain his service with other guests as well as assist the bartenders with ease. He made it look so easy! My bartenders were Heather and Leena and they were awesome hosts and I will most definitely come back whenever I am in the area. read more
