   DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY IN THIS GOD AWFUL RESTAURANT!!!! My wife and I enjoy good food. From bargain restaurants to expensive restaurants and everything in between. We are regulars at our local Ruth's Chris Steak house, but I wanted to try a new place. Looked up the top Steak Houses in New Orleans and GAIA was one of them. I love crabcakes. Houston's is a favorite place for 98% jumbo lump crabmeat. The ones we had at GAIA was 98% breading. I looked at the photos on their website and the crabcakes we were served did not remotely resemble the food in the photos. We ordered the Tomahawk Steak. Steak came to us lukewarm, no bone, no juice from the steak on the plate and very little seasoning if any at all. Very disappointing!! At other high end restaurants like Peter Lugar in Brooklyn, the waiters bring out the steak and cut the meat for you. They present the food to you in a way that absolutely justifies the exorbitant amount of money they charge for their restaurant experience and I am more than happy to pay the price with no problem whatsoever! We enjoy great service and are very liberal with the amount of tips we pay for great service. Added a lobster tail. It was served with no butter to dip it in. The waiter says it was cooked with butter so they did not provide the dipping butter. I couldn't believe what I was experiencing. I was very unsatisfied, but our waitress was unbothered. I held my tongue, paid the bill and left. We will NEVER EVER even think about going back to this place again. I have never written a review of a restaurant before, but this horrible experience required me to offer my feelings about our visit there. I spent $271 and left with the worst restaurant experience I have ever had.

   It is worth going out of your way for! This amazing steakhouse is right on the parade route during Mardi Gras. Your Uber might not get close, but it is worth a block or two of walking.

   What an amazing restaurant. We had the best French Onion Soup ever! I will travel back to New Orleans just for that soup! Yum!! The entire meal was delicious. We had the Gaia Special for two, the butter cooked tenderloin was cooked table side. It was melt in your mouth delicious! The sides were chose were the crawfish Mac n cheese and sautéd mushrooms with the dark chocolate fondue for desert! Our waitress, Jasmine, was the cutest.. so friendly and helpful! She definitely contributed to our wonderful dinner and evening! I would give 10 stars overall if I could!

   The food was everything and I wanted more. Delicious flavor ! The lamb is something I’ll definitely be getting again ! Service was also great and the key lime cocktail I had was one of my favorites!! It’s a very romantic atmosphere and the only thing they could do is improve decor just a tad. To many fake flowers cheapens it a tad but overall it was great !

   Very nice place, beautiful ambiance but the food was not the best especially for the price. The lobster ravioli was very salty and the rockafella oyster was not good at all. However the manager and waiter was nice about it and helped make our experience better. The drinks was ok, but the steak was amazing. Overall, I probably won’t return, as this was my first time there, but it was nice to try.

    This was my first time visiting the food was delicious. The portions was shareable between two people. If I only can critique anything the prices is a bit expensive. Overall a good experience in my server was great.
