    The food is always absolutely excellent and the service is friendly and efficient. The prices are reasonable, and it is one of our favorite restaurants. We both had the prime rib, which was so tender, tasty and huge! And the price was only $35. Can’t be beat!

    The perfect place for a romantic dinner! The setting was beautiful. Live piano music. From the time we walked in, the service was excellent. Friendly, attentive but not intrusive. Perfectly descriptions of the menu. Jean was wonderful. The food….delicious from first course to dessert. If you’re looking for a truly special meal, The Gables is the place to go. It is definitely worth the trip to LBI.

    Just stopped in for some late night appetizers. The Mainland Sliders, Fried Ravioli and the Cheesesteak Egg rolls were all delicious. Always great service. The Valentine Pop-Up Bar is a festive addition and decorated beautifully. I just wish the live music would go past 9pm.
