The selection of wines was nice. Initially service was disjointed, but the team provided an excellent experience overall. We got two olive oil samplers to try what they had. We ended up liking the jalapeño olive oil and got it for another friend. The sampler had some interesting combinations which worked like the jalapeño olive oil with peach balsamic vinegar. Definitely cool.

This was genuinely one of the most bizarre dining experiences we've ever had. We sat there for…read morenearly an hour simply trying to get a glass of wine. Our server repeatedly came over to our area and waited on every table around us, yet somehow our wine never came. At one point, I actually walked up to him to ask about our order, and he asked me what table we were sitting at, as if he's never seen me- even though he had already spoken to us. The entire interaction was incredibly strange. After another 15 minutes of waiting, with still no wine and no one checking on us, we finally said we were just going to leave. Only then did he tell us, "Sorry, the ticket never printed." But during all that time, he never once checked to see why our wine hadn't come out or followed up on the order. Meanwhile, the bartender was standing there with virtually no one to serve. We were honestly baffled by the entire experience. We weren't asking for anything complicated--we just wanted a glass of wine--and after nearly an hour we left without ever receiving it. The whole situation was so strange, uncomfortable, and poorly handled that we will absolutely not be returning.

I was specifically looking for a tapas bar because we weren't particularly hungry and just wanted a…read morefew small bites alongside a good glass of wine. On the wine front, Gata absolutely delivers. The wine list is thoughtfully curated, and it's the kind of place where one glass quickly turns into two because there are simply too many interesting options to pass up. Unfortunately, the food didn't come close to matching either the quality of the wine program or the price point. We ordered the deviled eggs, which turned out to be hard-boiled eggs sliced in half with a piece of ham placed on top. When you order deviled eggs, you generally expect, well... the eggs to actually be deviled. We mentioned our disappointment to the bartender, who was wonderful, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable to talk with. The explanation was that this is simply their interpretation of deviled eggs. Fair enough, but it wasn't an interpretation that worked for us. Ironically, the standout dish of the evening was the pigs in blankets, which is not a sentence I ever expected to write about an upscale wine bar. They were delicious, but they also raised the question of why the rest of the menu wasn't reaching the same level. Looking back, we realized we were the only people actually eating while everyone else was there for the wine. In hindsight, that should have been the clue. I only wish someone had mentioned that before we made the trip over expecting a tapas experience. Gata has so much potential. The atmosphere is lovely, the wine selection is excellent, and the staff were fantastic. If the small plates eventually rise to the level of the wine program, this place could be truly special. Until then, I'd absolutely recommend it for drinks, but probably not for dinner.

I look forward to returning.

Everyone working there was super friendly and attentive. We were greeted with a tasting of the rosé which we both really enjoyed and then I tried the lighter bodied red tasting and my friend tried the white wine tasting.

The ravioli was the standout of the night, thin pasta with just enough filling for a delightful bite. The bucatini all'amatriciana wasn't quite what I'm accustomed to, the guanciale was ground rather than diced, and the sauce leaned more toward a meat sauce with an oily finish, not really my style, though the pasta itself was cooked well al dente. The steak, on the other hand, was excellent. Cocktails were great, and the staff were attentive throughout. For dessert, the trio was a nice way to sample a few things, though I wish they offered smaller sampler portions instead of full-size pieces. The Basque cheesecake was excellent and the semifreddo was perfect with a nice crust. The chocolate torte was good but couldn't compete with the other two. Overall a strong dinner spot in La Jolla, especially for pasta lovers and sunset views.

Aside from the pizza though, the staff was all super friendly and my wine was good.
