GAIA Steakhouse
1820 St Charles Avenue, LGD

This “new age” steakhouse from Murat Nalcioglu, a partner in Atlanta’s Steak Market and former manager for Nusret Gökçe’s (also known as Salt Bae) North American restaurants, caused quite a stir when news broke earlier this summer that it was coming to New Orleans. Gaia Steakhouse has since opened in a long-empty LGD restaurant space that was formerly home to The Melting Pot. In addition to the $400 gold-covered steaks most commonly found on menus in Las Vegas, Gaia’s menu has items like wagyu steak tartare, chargrilled octopus, a $26 “exotic salad,” a raw seafood feast, Alaskan king crab legs, rack of lamb, and Beijing duck. The restaurant promises “Instagram-worthy” cocktails, “world-class” DJs, custom neon light fixtures, fine leather, custom tables, “and bronze accents that have an aged authenticity in its soul."


Now open baws if you want to impress all the InstaThots

Don't be jealous. Now's your time to get a Thyme Infused Vodka Bubble Sphere and impress a West Jefferson High School dropout with 13,000 followers

Salt Bae has a restaurant here and from all accounts it has been a major failure. Anyone with the means to dine out like that on a regular basis can see through that bullshite.

So much moving and shaking you’ll need a Dramamine.

Putting $20 of Golld leaf on a $80 steak and charging $400 for it is genius marketing.

Wagyu burgers are pretty much a scam as well. It ruins the whole point of getting wagyu when it's ground up.

Longer than that because they have the financial backing to sustain losses for a while.
