    I’ve been wanting to go here for awhile. Even though jt was their restaurant week menu, it did not disappoint. It was one of the best meals I’ve had in awhile. The pappardelle, stracci, trout almondine, and the desserts are out of this world. Hands down best pastry chef… don’t skip the dessert. The service was great and the ambiance was on point. I would recommend Daisies for everyone.

    My boyfriend and I had a great experience at Gibsons thanks to Eli and the managers! We started with the caesar salad…it is one of the best i’ve ever had. We then got a filet and NY strip with the bernaise sauce (THE best) and the meat was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. We finished dinner with the banana and chocolate cake dessert. Everything was absolutely perfect. Eli made our experience unforgettable. He was so nice, helpful, and attentive. We will definitely be back soon!

    I had an Expresso Sea Salt martini, caprese salad, and the lobster ravioli. Drink and meal was outstanding! Service was impeccable as always. I rate Gambas’ as 10+.
