It was me, my son and nephew last night for dinner. Given our current circumstances there is no way in hell I"m going to NYC for a boys night out, so off to a local alternative Gabriella’s. They build a very nice out door patio and bar, with 1 massive umbrella which covers about 4/5 tables and smaller umbrella’s along the parameter of the patio. Tables are well spaced and they had several electric and gas fueled heaters out there which made the mid 50’s temp bearable for the night. All employees that I could see wore masks appropriately and didn’t remove them that I could see. The menu is about the same but they had more specials than I remember, they had about 5 /6 tables inside and the about 7/8 outside on a Monday night.
We started with the charcuturie platter (small) @ $22. it was a nice platter. Much nicer and more selections than many others. My only complaint is they served it with two pieces of garlic toast, they are now charging for bread on the menu, so I find that a bit annoying. Also the bacon was delicious!!
For entree’s I had the chicken parm and the boys each had the skirt steak.(no side pasta) They loved the skirt steak and I was happy with my chicken parm. (sorry forgot pics of the entree’s)
All in all a very solid meal in a very comfortable environment with a staff that seems to be doing the right thing. I will throw them a shout out in that thread as well. I was shocked when I realized hey have only been open just over a year. Holy crap what a year this has been, I sincerely thought it was 2 years ago they opened but it seems July of 2019, wow, seems so long ago.
