Galla Park overall was an ok experience. It was the only restaurant that had a lot of availability on a very busy evening where other restaurants nearby had a 2-3 hour wait. I could see why it was less popular since the menu was a bit overpriced, the selection was very limited, and portion sizes were extremely small. I am ok with small portion sizes since I'm a 'quality over quantity' person, but while the flavors were good, the quality was on par with something I could easily throw together at home. Before I ordered, the staff waffled back and forth between whether they could accommodate a shellfish allergy, first they reassured me that they could, then they came back and said they could not. There were only a couple bites of beef in the surf bowl and the black bean hummus dip appetizer was smeared very thin over a small plate with a few cucumber slices and pita triangles around the edge of the plate. Overall, would not recommend compared to other options in the area, but if you are ok spending a lot for a light meal, then it's not bad.

Beautiful space! Clean and tables not too close together. The Spicy Tuna Poppers were a favorite for my wife and I. My sister and wife had the Surf Sushi Bowels. They loved them and the portions were perfect. We aren't comfortable with being served too much food. I'm trying to go more plant-based and the Porotobello sandwich was perfect. People don't realize it tastes like beef and is the perfect option for a healthier lifestyle. Hanna and the manager made the evening great. We loved how friendly they were without intruding. We love the music and will go back!
It was overall a great experience, I do wish that they would lower the volume of the music a bit during dinner. We arrived at 8 our party could barely hear each other. other than that it was a great experience
I loved the environment/ the vibe. Food & drinks were pricy and definitely would just go for drinks. I got the surf (sushi In a bowl) and was not expecting for my meal to be as small as it was and I think that definitely would push customers away. I think some restaurants like this care more about how the food looks versus there being enough to eat. Therefore I was a little disappointed.
Went for restaurant week since they seemed to have to best deal. Great food, service, and atmosphere. The General Manager took time to chat with us and other tables and ask about our experience. I'm not someone who typically gets a dessert so I am so glad it was included in the restaurant week deal because both desserts were outstanding!

Our waitress was super nice and made sure we were well taken care of. The teriyaki salmon was good. Loved the ambiance. Not a lot of dessert options & some of the other food choices I had were a little underwhelming. Overall a good experience
Great
We had been wanting to try this place for sometime. Sadly disappointed and we wished we spent our money at one of the other nearby restaurants. Overall, the food was decent minis the sad asparagus. Came out wicked fast and on top of each other except dessert took forever. My wife asked if she could just get one scoop of Gelato and was told yes only to be brought a sundae. Also, don't call basic vanilla ice cream Gelato. We were quit neglected by our server even though it wasn't very busy. It was an odd and dissapointing experience.

This was my first time at Galla Park and I was really looking forward to it. I booked this reservation for my birthday and I was completely underwhelmed and disappointed. We waited almost 30 mins before anyone offered us water. The food was mediocre. The manager was amazing and did an amazing job rectifying the experience. Not sure if I would go back. The ambiance and atmosphere was good but service and food subpar.

Definitely glad we went when it wasn't super busy. I can imagine it gets really loud when it's full. Beautiful location, lovely service, and good food. Definitely upscaled a regular date night for us

Loved the old Galla Park! Went here last night for my birthday. Was looking forward to the dj and made that clear to the staff members and bartenders. There were 11 of us ordering lots of food and drinks! Made reservations for dinner online at 9:45 so we could eat while dj was there. They called us back to say the kitchen closes at 9:45 so could we come earlier. We agreed on 8:30. If the kitchen closes at 9:45 why have that option as an open time? ?? We were basically rushed out and eventually asked to leave bc they were trying to sell our table (bottles) even though the place was completely empty and nobody was outside waiting to get in yet.? $68 ribeye was almost well done when asked for medium rare. Sticky rice tuna was good but rice was too hard to bite. Salmon cakes were good. Macaroni and cheese was disrespectful... cheese and noodles.? Server was adorable, fast, friendly and she gets 5 stars!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My sons love steak. So when this restaurant was recommended we booked. The service was great as they advised us on the best steak for each person and how this should be cooked. We were not disappointed. The sides were also generous and delicious. We had an amazing time thank you so much !!!!

Food was alright, but menu as far as meal options is not very vast. Most of the menu is drinks and appetizers. This would be a nice meet up spot for a classier 25-35 night out, but not so much for if you're hungry. The vibe is definitely the star of this spot.

I did not enjoy my experience. It took over an hour to get appetizers and another hour or more to get the meal. The food was cold and I did not like my food at all. The prices are decent but between the wait and the food not that great, it was not worth it. A manager did apologize for the wait. It does become a club at a certain time so maybe that is the experience is better but I was not impressed for dinner.
This is a very cute restaurant, great for people who like to create content, the plating of the food is beautiful, the decor is modern and chic, and the servers/staff are all very friendly. I honestly did not enjoy my espresso martini with tequila but I do not blame the bar, I had never had one so it was just not something I think I like. My short rib bao buns were delicious but my burger also was a taste I did not enjoy. My friend got the tuna poppers and loved them and she got the arugula salad and said it was great. I did not send my burger back or make a fuss and I still paid and tipped well because again, it was a really great staff and a nice and clean place. If I were to go back I would stick to drinks I know I like and sit at the bar and eat apps instead of entrees. But staff was super friendly, great atmosphere, and aesthetically pleasing overall.

It was Burger Week and this was the only place I went to this year. The burger was excellent and included fries. The manager, Kalvin, (hope that's correct) was a really nice young man and visited our table twice. Our server, Bridget, was very helpful and did an excellent job of navigating as by the time we left it was very crowded. They do an excellent late night business.
