    The owner Sean is a wonderful host! Fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, attentive but unintrusive wait staff. The octopus appetizer was tender and flavorful. The greek and tomato salads were both excellent and would make wonderful meals in themselves. Both the Dover Sole and Dorade fish were perfectly prepared and very enjoyable. Delicious Kataifi dessert. Also excellent wine list and great cocktails.

    Had a lunch with my colleagues and everything was wonderful. The setting ambience food and service were all stellar. Very comfortable table for 8 people and we could hear each other talk with nice music in the background. Will definitely be coming back often. Thank you!

    The most amazing experience! Gave us the best service for my family on Christmas. I felt like I was in a movie. The Lamb and steak were fabulous! The Greek salad so fresh! Can’t wait to go back!

    We just had our Christmas Day lunch and it was wonderful. We received a warm welcome, gorgeous food, efficient and attentive service from all of the staff. Sadly we live in the UK, but if we were New Yorkers this would be our new favourite restaurant!

    It's a beautiful place, very elegant with an outstanding service and a great atmosphere. Unfortunately the food is not very tasty, the lobster pasta and the risotto were very bland, a bit tasteless although a presentation of the dish itself was very promising. For this pricing I was expecting much more than that - price vs quality relation is very disappointing. Whisky sour was not great either. The Calamari appetizer was an only highlight of our visit.

    Last night my best friend and I had dinner at this new restaurant in New York and everything was spectacular. The guys from the staff are all very welcoming, elegant and making you feel at home. The atmosphere last night was wonderful something seen in very few restaurants in the city because they had decided to bring a musician entertaining the evening and making everyone dance. The food is part of the Greek-Mediterranean cuisine and here I can only say WOW and I don't need to add anything else. If you are in the city this place must absolutely be part of your bucket list.

    I was recently at Gaia for a business dinner and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The ambiance is truly unmatched—elegant, refined, and unlike any other restaurant in New York. The food was exceptional, with every dish crafted to perfection using the freshest ingredients and delivering incredible flavor. What truly set the experience apart was the team. They were warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, ensuring everything ran smoothly. It’s rare to find such a perfect combination of atmosphere, cuisine, and service. We’ll definitely be returning for more.

    waited an hour and a half for food to be served. This was for a business meal and everyone was late for their next meeting. was testing this out as location to use for my company as we are moving to the city and will not be using this location for business lunch based on this experience.
