Brunch with old college roommates. It was our first time at Gabri, and our last since you are closing. We are very sad to have missed the Gabi experience. However, if we could suggest reopening on the Main Line, there is a closed French restaurant in Ardmore that would be excellent. It was called A La Maison but the chef owner got sick and closed it a couple of years ago. Plenty of off street parking in the back with a nice back entrance. Please move Gabri there!

Menu was extremely small with only 4 options for an entry and of those one (the steak) was sold out. Food was mediocre and service was slow considering the restaurant was barely half full. Overall, not impressed. Hopefully their non-restaurant week menu has more “it” factor.

I visited this restaurant during Restaurant Week, to try a "new" restaurant. I will definitely return. The ambiance is quite cozy with outdoor sidewalk seating that provides partitions to separate you from the sidewalk traffic. The service is excellent, attention is given to make sure you have an exceptional dining experience. I will save the best for last, the food. The food is outstanding. The steak and duck that were ordered were cooked to perfection. Treat yourself to this excellent restaurant, you will not be disappointed.

The potential is there. Not much around the location, but will be. No one inside on a Friday night, but will be. Ambiance is fine, but would will be better when more full. Service was great, so must keep that up when busier. Cocktails were good. Food was priced very fairly, and portions on the larger size. Quality seemed to be good. I think it will get better with time. We’ll be back to see if it can match sister restaurant Bistrot le minette

We ordered the Foie Gras which was outstanding. Can easily be shared. The duck breast was done to perfection and the trout was beautifully presented and was delicious too. The "fraisier" dessert was a little disappointing. It was presented in a glass with some cut up pieces of cake and a cream on top. Not too many strawberries.

Had an early dinner before a show at the Met. Our party enjoyed a variety of foods and drinks. Staff was friendly. Would definitely recommend the cheese plate. Had a seasonal margarita which was okay and then followed up with a glass of wine—which was a generous pour. Would definitely go here again if attending a show at the Met.

The menu isn't very good for vegetarians is my one complaint. But I ordered mussels and it came with a MOUND of fries which was great. Drinks were excellent, but I wasn't too excited about the menu offerings. Wait staff was excellent. Ambiance was nice. Bathroom was really clean. I had a good experience overall, but the menu isn't my cup of tea so I probably won't be returning unless it's for drinks and a snack.

Splendid classic French bistro fare and warm, attentive service (hats off to Clara!) and PERFECT, contemporary and classic French music. I started with the Gabi Provencal salad, then perfectly prepared La Belle Farms duck breast and a strawberry Frasier for dessert accompanied by a glass of La vie en Rose (negrette grapes, copper color). A plus! I will be back!
