We have been going to Gabriel’s for 25 years. It has always been our go-to place when company comes to town, and we want to take them to a great restaurant. We had a reservation for Saturday, June 28 at 7 p.m. for six people. We were seated fairly promptly at a table with menus but no napkins or silverware. The waiter finally came to take our drink order and we also ordered guacamole made at the table. We asked for silverware when the guacamole was served but did not receive any. Finally, after asking several servers who walked by, we received silverware and napkins, this was long after the guacamole was gone. It took about an hour for our food to be served and it was just like normal. We have been going there through three owners and I did not see any normal employees I recognized. This was the first night of Opera Season and maybe that was the problem. This event comes around every year at the same time and it seemed like a complete surprise. There were plenty of employees walking around the outside dining area but it was hard to get their attention. We will go back again soon and see if that was a one-time experience. We sincerely hope so.

We had made reservations months in advance for our family Reunion. We arrived and our table was not ready, they seated multiple parties that did not have reservations and then said they were too busy. We were seated provided our drinks and guacamole quickly. We then waited over an hour for our food to arrive. They couldn't provide some drinks for kids as they ran out of glasses. Overall was a disappointment as our last visit with a party was perfect. Obviously reservations are not required but I booked here specifically because they take reservations. The hostess was snide and rude to me as well. Nothing was offered to be taken off our bill at all. We tipped well as our waitress was trying her best.

We had high hopes given the reviews. The meal was fine, not great. Chips and queso were fantastic but main course (carnitas burrito and a combo) were average at best. Didn’t love the margaritas. Not a bad meal, just wanted it to be better.

My family went to Gabriel's for a Father's day lunch. We were seated immediately and although very busy, our food came very slowly and came in increments. The fajitas we ordered were lukewarm and our waiter was non-existent. I kept having to ask passersby employees for assistance. Our waiter was busy, but seemed to forget our table.
