    Service was excellent almost too attentive. The atmosphere was lively. They had a sax player who was very talented that we enjoyed tremendously. Wine was amazingly good and my husband enjoyed his Greek beer. My husbands lamb chops were delicious and such a large serving. My red snapper was fresh but arrived cold and a bit undercooked. I wanted to give them a great review but the fish was a bit disappointing for the price point. I got the impression this was a new restaurant so I'm thinking when they figure out the kinks it will be excellent as a lot of effort is put into their service.

    From the moment in the door, service was incredible. The restaurant is beautiful; decorated for Christmas. The wait staff & mgr checked on us often. The mgr was extremely welcoming & cordial. The food..! It was fresh, authentic Mediterranean. We tried many entrees & sides & all were exceptional. I’d highly recommend this restaurant as one of the best I’ve been to.

    We ate at Gaia in Monte Carlo and it was outstanding! We were so excited for the NY location but were very disappointed. It was as if it wasn’t the same restaurant. The flavors and quality were mediocre. Sorry! I wanted it to be great but It fell short
