Our experience was quite good. We were celebrating our 38th anniversary and we were happy with our choice. Brianna did an excellent job. Although the main course took exceptionally long to arrive, she did her best. My dish could have been hotter, but it was delicious none the less. We will definitely revisit.

Our dinner there was absolutely fantastic! The atmosphere ans service could not of been better. The only negative for us was the price fix menu. Everything was delicious, but the amount of food was too much for us. We rarely eat that much at one sitting.

I've heard the Gables is a cozy romantic dinner spot in the heart of Beach Haven. It was packed in the summer as expected so we waited till the offseason (Oct) and made a reservation. You are immediately drawn in simply by the landscaping and the overall setting it resides in. It was to chilly to sit at the outside patio but it was nessled with flowers all around and above with patio lights which makes it an outdoor experiece. The porch where we ate was romantically quaint, cozy, elegant and relaxing. The food was beyond phenomenal as was the staff. My wife and I were thrilled with the experience.

There is no question that The Gables is the most unique and exceptional dining experience. Its ambiance is enchanting and even magical with all the flickering candles, flowers and charming tables. The food is perfectly prepared and even though I ordered something I eat very often - chicken - it was if I just tasted it for the first time. Every flavor is nuanced yet at the forefront. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary there over the weekend and I can't imagine a better setting for such a special occasion.
