   A Christmas Eve bust. We have been here many times. Too bad. Wasn’t crazy about the menu to start off. Not enough seafood offerings for us Catjolics. Mussel’s first course. Yucky.. there were way too many. For a four course dinner, didn’t appreciate having 24 muscles to start off with. Might’ve even been more than that. I would’ve rather had smaller servings than what we got and paid less. It was way too much food and it you couldn’t eat it all. Prices are steep here too.  The mussels tasted raw and grossed me our. Second course for me was the potato and artichoke torte, which was just OK and again a very filling large portion. Next was the Seabass, which was terrible. Fava beans and tomatoes. Just the whole thing was not good at all. Didn’t look appealing either. Fish had no flavor. I finished with the cheese plate, which was fine but really two crackers to go with four different kinds of cheeses. It was disappointing to say the least. We always love this restaurant and will definitely think twice before booking for Christmas Eve again. We’ll look at the menu next time before we reserve. Four courses is over the top and don’t need all that food. Staff is always pleasant and friendly, and the ambience is beautiful .

   Well it definitely was an experience and a tradition that will be done every year going forward! Our family of 19 had the entire porch with 2 round tables! The service and the food was exceptional! My Father of 85 years young was the happiest celebrating in such a beautiful place with his family! We can’t wait to come back!

   Had a wonderful and romantic dinner. The salad, main course and dessert were delicious. The service was outstanding from the hostess to the server. The restaurant was very romantic, warm and cozy. We will definitely go back for future dinners.

   Our evening was almost perfect. However, before the piano player left for the evening he came up to our table looking for a tip. It was awkward, invasive and pretty low class.

   I love the Gables but was disappointed last month (mid October) and on Thanksgiving that the wood-burning fireplace was not burning and there was no pianist. These 2 things really add to the experience. In fact, we would've chosen a different restaurant for both dinners had we known in advance. It was certainly very cold enough last night to warrant a fire.

   Thanks for the feedback, AudreyG! We're glad to hear that you love The Gables, and we're sorry about the fireplace. The drought caused us to be wary of starting a fire! Give us a call and we would be happy to let you know if the pianist plans on joining us and if fireplace will be roaring! We're looking forward to serving you again soon. Well be sure the fireplace is lit up and the pianist is on board for your next visit. Happy Holidays!

   The food and service were exceptional. We went on a holiday so it was a little noisy at times.

    The fall/winter pre fixe menu in my opinion is absolutely perfect! Elevated yet comfort food. The French onion soup is no crock of French onion soup. It is more of a meal. The soup had three pieces of short rib and the toast had slices of (I think) Brie! Almost like a cross between beouf Bourgogne and French onion soup. A must is the Bosc pear tarte tatin for dessert. The butterscotch sauce was perfection. For mains we had the grilled pork chop and the chicken breast. Both had wonderful seasonal preparations and were miraculously moist! Service was perfect and the owners stop by every table and are so friendly! A really special place!
