Came for a late lunch before heading over to Longwood Gardens. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our server was very friendly and attentive. My friend got the shrimp and grits and I got the fish tacos. Both were very good. We also each had a bowl of mushroom soup. Will visit again when I am in the area.

We had our wedding at the gables this past September and it was truly the most beautiful venue for what we wanted. I toured the gables back in 2019 and fell in love with it as soon as I saw it and booked it shortly after. The booking process was simple and the Gables makes it affordable splitting the overall bill up in payments. We did have a few issues along the way with our coordinator being switched a few times but I think it’s mostly just the climate of the world we’re living in today. Our day-of coordinator, Carol, was absolutely amazing. Our wedding day would not have been what it was

Noticed the restaurant while driving by and decided to stop for dinner on the way home for our anniversary. It was quiet on a Sunday night, no need for reservations even though we made them. The outdoor patio looked cozy and attractive as we passed. We sat issue the dining room which was cute. A little loud as some mentioned because of the hard surfaces and low ceiling but it's an old building.
Our server was extremely nice and helpful and did not rush us. We ordered the tuna as an appetizer and I got the mushroom soup. Both were high quality.
For dinner my husband ordered the pork chop which

There were many positive and negatives to this experience.
I think the main positive was the ambiance and general experience. We sat outdoors, the weather was gorgeous, the floral decor was wonderful; the whole outdoors was just great.
I think the one main negative was the quality of food and drinks. It really was just okay. There were no "standout" meals and there were 10 of us, so we ordered a lot of the food on the menu.
In regards to drinks, the spicy gin martini was amazing, everything else was just okay. The berry sangria in my opinion was not good.
3/5 for the dining portion, 5/5 for

After a long day of canoeing on the Brandywine and being very hungry, went to The Gables and they did not disappoint! We got the charcuterie, shrimp cocktail, fried green tomatoes and crispy garlic calamari, everything was phenomenal and very fresh. I got the grilled salmon and my husband the pork chops, all very delicious. We got the espresso chocolate cake and vanilla creme brûlée with some cappuccino to round up an amazing dinner. The service is impeccable and the wait staff incredibly nice. Definitely recommend!

We went out on Friday night for Valentine’s Day dinner. There were 6 of us total, three couples. It was our first time there. There was plenty of parking. The restaurant is pretty big and well spaced between tables. The wine was good we ordered a bottle of red. I loved the filet mignon. It was cooked perfectly. The potatoes and veggies that came with it were mediocre. My husband ordered the short rib with pappardelle and was not happy. He said it tasted as if he made a roast in the crockpot. He expected more from it. The lobster ravioli with petite lobster was good but we thought the portion

Warm ambiance topped by amazing food, served promptly and politely. I love how the hostess greets you as though you are a friend and she is happy to see you. Such a cute place--makes me want to have an event there! The menu sources local ingredients, and the food is creative without being off-putting. The Gables also offers a vast selection of wines (including by-the-glass), craft beers, and whiskeys. This was my third time here, because I want to keep introducing people to it.
