    I have dined at The Gables several times and, in my opinion, without hesitation, it is the finest dining experience I have ever had. The food, the knowledgeable wait staff, the atmosphere, the ambiance, and beautiful decor and surrounding gardens are all beyond compare. It’s an unforgettable experience for all of your senses.

    Everything was great, staff were very friendly and attentive, atmosphere was perfect, food was very good. The price was high for the three course meal and there were supplementary charges on some items on the set menu.

    Best restaurant on LBI. The food is perfectly designed and prepared. Service is incomparable to any place around. A NYC gem on Long Beach island. The ambiance from the moment you approach the building is truly amazing. We can’t wait to go back again

    We arrived at 7:30 for my girl friends birthday dinner. We were sat on the lovely porch. We received bread and water and didn’t see a server until close to 30 mins from then. I had to get up from my table to ask the manager at the front desk for a server. At that point our cold bottle of wine was warm. There were 2 other tables that got sat after us that were helped before I got up to contact the front desk. We were then greeted by a server and apologies were given. The manager gave us a bottle of granola as a nice gesture. Then we were also given an app on the house as well. We received our apps at 8:30. Apps were great. The dinner was given prob another 30 mins after. Dinner was great as well. Then dessert came and I had asked in the notes for there to be a candle in my girl friends dessert in the notes. It was forgotten. Mistakes happen. I had my girl friend blow out the candle on the table . Before we left the manager checked in to make sure everything was rectified and I informed him of the missing candle. He apologized and brought out ice cream with a candle. The manager was really nice and I do not blame him for any of the issues that occurred during the night. Just overall the experience lacked top notch hospitality for the price you are paying. We used to look forward to dinners at the gables for special occasions but will no longer be dining there in the future.

    Hi John, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed our food and dessert, but we're sorry to hear about the missing candle and service issues. We aim to provide a warm welcome and attentive service, and it's clear we fell short during your visit. We appreciate your understanding and patience, and we're committed to improving our service. We hope to serve you again for a better experience. Please reach out to myself or Joe, as we would like to offer you another visit with our compliments. Best, Karly The Gables General Manager
