What people say about Gala Restaurant

Guests generally appreciate Gala’s nicely designed room, friendly service, and cocktails and menu that swing between Spanish, European, and New American cuisines. Octopus, crudo, risotto, seafood, steak, croquettes, and desserts are popular among the guests, and presentation is always mentioned. The major concern of diners is price: an entire night at the place becomes quite costly, especially with drinks and small plates included.

Restaurant overview

About Gala Restaurant

Gala is a dinner restaurant located on Anacapa Street that offers a menu that is specifically designed for adventurous eaters. Spanish cuisine comes together with the Californian one, pasta, seafood, and steaks.

Small portions are suitable for sharing, while large portions like branzino, duck confit, striploin, ribeye, and scallops can serve as the base of an individual dish. This makes it possible for a guest to choose how to organize his or her dinner—in a tapas style or traditionally.

Changing seasonal menu is planned by design, so certain products and preparations might change depending on time of year. Currently, online reservations can be done via OpenTable.
