- OTOpenTable DinerCalifornia Central Coast •1 review5.0Dined todayThis was our first dining experience at Gala. Overall we had the best time. The restaurant worked with us as we had increased our party. Gala made it so easy to order without stress. The food was amazing in presentation and taste. A wonderful meal. This was a birthday celebration and Gala made it so special and memorable. This was our first but not our last. I highly recommend Gala, especially if you want to celebrate.More infoGalaPrice: Expensive• European• Santa Barbara•4.7

- MmajorprofVIPCalifornia Central Coast •16 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoThe food and the wine were excellent as was the service and the ambience. The only reason I removed a star is that it is extremely expensive $18 for a half a glass of wine seems a little over-the-top to me.More infoIntermezzo By Wine CaskPrice: Expensive• Californian• Santa Barbara•4.5
