We couldn't be sadder that Gadabout is closing. This is our favorite place to eat - we've had anniversaries and Valentine's days here. The staff are always super friendly, the food is unparalleled and the desserts are a religious experience.

The biggest review feedback is that we have to come back within the next two weeks.....even though all staff is great-we call it the Gadabout Family, Jack made our last one of the two a special time. In fact the person we brought was a new person who would have brought her daughters but you are closing! Think positive that the best culinary couple will be back with a new restaurant called....Gadabout Reappeared! Thanks again for that special restaurant experience even though it was short.....

This place has been my neighborhood favorite, but recently announced they’re closing later in November. The night of this visit, they were out of multiple items (including 3 of the main plate options, leaving nothing our table could order) as well as several of the smaller plate options. This wasn’t mentioned upon being seated, only when we tried to order. Food and drinks came painfully slowly (10-15 mins for drinks, 30+ for each food course). Our server was polite and friendly, just clearly overwhelmed. The dishes we WERE able to order came in noticeably smaller portions than the multiple other times we’ve ordered the same items, and with less sauce/spice as before too. Extremely disappointing Sadly, it appears they’re closing for good reason.

Gadabout nails the flavors every time, I love bringing people here. The meat dishes run very expensive, overall they’re pretty small plates and a little pricey but the food is so good I keep coming back! I recommend it even for people who are a little nervous about the menu. Save room for dessert.

The servers were delightful, and the food was incredible. However, we went for brunch on a Sunday around noonish and the staff seemed a little overwhelmed. Nevertheless, they were kind and helpful -- just seemed like they needed another set of hands to help out! Let me just say again -- the food (and the brunch cocktails) are scrumptious. We will definitely return!

Cannot recommend enough. Menu is very accommodating to both vegetarians and gluten free guests. Our server was kind, knowledgeable, and checked in often enough without being overbearing. The restaurant itself is cute, and even though it was busy it didnt get too loud. Everything we had was great; started with the chips & dip, crudo, and fried potatoes. The apple salad was also great. Entrees were the braised tofu and pork jowel. Excited to come back and try more of the me u.

I've been to Gadabout many times and it's always a fantastic experience. Unique plates with incredible flavors blending together making each offering delicious. Took a friend with me who had never been before, and she easily said it was the best food she ever had (it was the first thing she thought about when waking up the next morning, even). Highly recommend.

I was blown away by the food and service here. The restaurant has an incredible ambiance and is perfect for a night out. The food was perfectly paired and delicious. Definitely recommend the Tofu, Beef Heart, and Crispy Potatoes! And shout out to our waiter, who helped select the food, coursed everything out, and took amazing care of us! We will definitely be back again!!

We went to dinner last night and had a fantastic time! Our server, I think, was named Jason. He made sure we were well taken care of, and even when they ran out of A few things we ordered, I was excited to see he compensated us without us even asking for it! Honestly would come back alone for the service but the food speaks volumes on its own as well!

Really delicious food, friendly service. Accommodating and cautious with food allergies. Went early and restaurant was not crowded at all, which was good since we had a 1-year-old. Probably would not be great for kids if crowded, though staff was super friendly and welcoming to baby!

The food was delicious! We loved everything we ordered. I even ordered the braised tofu twice! I wish there were more protein-rich vegan options but overall was very satisfied. Also, I ordered a cocktail and wasn't a huge fan, and they let me swap it for a glass of wine free of charge. The service is great. The ambiance is great. The food is beyond great. I highly reccommend.
