We brought visiting relatives from the East Coast. They absolutely loved the food and raved about several dishes including taking left overs and enjoying them the next day. We always love Gabbi's and wish we lived closer so we could pop in more frequently. It is a real gem.

Food was great, service was slow in the beginning even though there wasn’t anybody in the restaurant but we had 2 servers assisting us the whole time. After that everything was pretty great
