    We enjoyed our dinner at Gabbi's. The restaurant is always humming with staff moving about the tight quarters but with the usual efficiency. The food was innovative and excellent and paired well with some creative cocktails. We've been coming here for years and will definitely be back.

    Outstanding food and service. The only suggestion I have is more ambient light as we had to use a flashlight to read the menu.

    The food was amazing, the portions generous, and the staff could not be friendlier. It was like having your own chef and visiting with your friends in your own dining room.
