Nos encantó, su cocina y atención fue espectacular. Los sabores que degustamos fueron como comer con tu abuelita y al mismo tiempo en un lugar mágico. La atención de nuestro mesero Tonathiu y Chef Fernando fue enriquecedor no solo degustamos si no que nos compartieron toda su pasión y conocimiento al crear todos sus platillos. Nos encanto cenar en GAIA realmente lo recomendamos.

Dinner was absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable. Our server Caesar was attentive and professional. He's very knowledgeable about the menu and helped us with our choices since everything looked amazing. My daughter had the blue fin entree and we agreed it was the best preparation of bluefin we've ever had. My husband and I had other fish dishes (rockfish and totoaba). Fish can be ruined when it's overcooked but ours were cooked PERFECTLY. Best meal out we've had in a while in both flavor AND service.

We had a wonderful dinner at Gaia yesterday with my family. The service was truly astonishing—Cesar and Bruno went above and beyond to make the experience personal and memorable. The raw bar tour, along with their detailed explanations, gave us a new appreciation for sustainable fishing practices. The food was exceptional. The bacalao was hands down the most delicious fish I’ve ever had, and I highly recommend the Ensenada Cebiche—fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. A fantastic dining experience all around!

Just loved the unique experience they provided when you walked in. Each type of season was explained with complementary sparkling wine - and sparkling mocktail for my son.
