We went today for a birthday and the atomisphefe is so cute and special. the indoor decor is so cute while the outside seating is also something that is special! The bad: there must have been an event going on because they had literally two wait staff during dinner rush and I felt bad for them. It took over 40 mins for someone to take our order and then we had to ask for our check and brought it to the bar after not having someone pick it up. We were splitting the bill and they charged one card twice which for us wasn’t s big deal but for others maybe. Think they need to work on their scheduling better. The good: our waiter once we were assigned to him Luis, was working practically alone and was fantastic. He had so many tables but was always so sweet when he got a chance to come to us. the food YUM made the wait and chaos worth it because everything was delicious. Wanted dessert and coffee but everything took too long and we were cold and wanted to head out. Next time! hoping to go back and give it another chance.

Lunch menu not as advertised online. Only brunch options. Very noisy, large open room with several large parties. Disappointed overall.

Good food, nice but not terribly creative menu. Good for a traditional brunch. Very noisy. Next time we will ask to sit in the bar.

Reservation was not honored and we had to sit at the bar for dinner. Waited 30 minutes to get a glass of wine. It took 2 hours for the meal and not because of us delaying to order. Dirty dishes remained at our table 20 minutes after finishing and waiting for the check. Seems like a great restraint but…

This was our first time at The Gables. We had several appetizers and all were very good. The flatbread was ok. Dessert was good and the cocktails were very good. Service was good. The atomosphere was a bit noisy but it was Friday night.

We haven’t been to the Gables for dinner in a long time. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere in the past. Our recent visit was disappointing. Too many past dishes for a farm house type restaurant. Our meals were underwhelming, my spouse and I thought the quality and presentation of the plated food was reminiscent of a banquet or wedding. Our drinks were void of alcohol. The restaurant itself is beautiful but the food and drinks were disappointing

Too noisy, subpar food, and mediocre service. However, it was Valentine’s Day. They should not have accepted as many reservations for the evening given the number of staff they had working. Not sure what it would have been like in an ordinary evening. But we’re not likely to go back any time soon.
