The branzino was great, calamari was too salty, oysters were good. In general very good, I will go again. Our server Justin was great!
Opentable Diner
Very cozy atmosphere, food was delicious. We liked zucchini flowers, duck confit and steak. Our waiter was amazing . Highly recommend
Nicole
Great thanksgiving experience, highly sitting early on their patio which is lovely! All the staff touched our table with assistance but our server Allie was great. Great portion sizes, chill environment, and quality product... veggies were top notch, great stuffing, would go back!

Our new favorite restaurant in Santa Barbara! Had the best halibut crudo we've ever had and the cheddar jalapeno biscuits were so good, we took out a dozen more the next day. We will be back and will be telling others!
Maureen
Wonderful experience and the cuisine was outstanding. The staff was lovely and very attentive. I can't wait to go back.

It had been a rainy day, and the restaurant called on the afternoon to say that they were re-seating is indoors, which was very nice. The prices were reasonable, especially for the oysters.
Laure
Great restaurant, nice patio atmosphere, good service in spice of crowd, nice easy menu to please everyone, beautiful presentation of food. Lovely!!!

I had such a great time at this restaurant. The staff were super friendly and made me feel right at home from the start. The food was amazing — every dish was full of flavor and looked just as good as it tasted. You could tell everything was made with care. The vibe was relaxed and cozy, with nice lighting that set the mood. Honestly, I can't wait to go back!

As always, great food, service, drinks. We love going there and enjoy the friendly atmosphere of the owner and servers.

We reserved a patio table, but when we got there they took us down the block to a table they'd set up in the entryway of a different business next to some mailboxes and some kind of tile shop display. When we requested to sit in the actual restaurant they told us we would have to sit inside, which isn't what I had reserved. The tables were very tight. Some of the food is really spectacular but not all of it. Multiple times servers brought us other peoples' food. For these prices there are much better experiences in Santa Barbara.
We very much enjoyed everything about Gala restaurant. The staff was very attentive and the food was outstanding. The ambience is beautiful and quiet as well. Thank you so much for such a lovely evening with my husband.

I planned a group dinner at Gala for 25 people and the food and service were outstanding. Our servers were friendly and knowledgable and took care of everything we needed. We had a family style dinner with a ton of great dishes and options for all dietary needs- the burrata and steak were standouts!

Nice spot for a dinner, we ordered, seabass, pasta Oysters, fried green tomato, octopus, orange cream caramel and cheesecake, one white and one resdd wine. We paid like 350 dolar for 5 people. Tastes are not that amazing, make a rezervation before visiting.
