Back again last night to celebrate my birthday! (sadly my uncle / Godfather also died yesterday so a bittersweet occasion)
As I believe I’ve stated before Gabriella’s has become one of my favorite restaurants, especially since the closure of my all time favorite local spot, Raven and the Peach. (though I we just did book my daughters bridal shower at the Tea Room)
6pm reservations on a Wednesday night and by 7-7:30 the place was full. They are doing a hell of a business! Our order was:
Apps:
charcuterie board (small)
garlic bread (my personal favorite)
cesare salad (one of my fav’s)
Entree:
Bday Boy prime aged rib eye w/side bernaise
Veal Parm (son felt it was pounded too thin, not enough veal /meat taste, I like it this way)
Rigatoni (not pictured)
Halibut (special - had a bite actually very good not fishy at all)
Mac n cheese (my daughter had some of my steak)
Everything was excellent but I was a little disappointed with my steak. Over charred and under cooked (ordered medium got it rare) and a bit smaller on size. (see the bernaise next to it, that’s a small gravy boat, and yet it’s the size of the meat portion of the steak) I didn’t complain but it was unusual not to be pleased with a steak here.
Great overall night.
