Why go
Gaia works when the brief is polished Mediterranean in Abu Dhabi rather than a chef-led or awards-driven destination meal. It suits mixed groups and low-friction dinners, but wine-focused diners should check the list first because no specific cellar depth or pairing format is published here.
