Absolutely our favorite new restaurant. Just opened several months ago. Do yourself a favor and visit Gala restaurant for a remarkable dining experience! We met the restaurant owner, Tara, and she is really lovely. The food was exceptional, we ordered the duck confit, steak, and mushroom risotto. And you absolutely have to try the berry cheesecake, it is the best I have ever had. Also recommend getting drinks from Pasquale! The atmosphere is super cool, and has inspiration from their sister restaurant in Barcelona, which feels right at home in Santa Barbara.

Excellent service and delicious food. I had the crudo and chef’s cut steak. It’s great to have some south american inspired dishes with leche de tigre(a bit of Peru?) and chimichurri(a taste of Argentina!)here in SB! Loved the pisco sour as well.

Had a great time! Tried as many dishes as a party if two could. The fried green tomatoes were a favorite of mine. Delicious cocktails and wine. Bring friends so you can try as much as possible! Loved it
