Charming ambiance, wonderful service but on the whole the food was average while the price was high. At our table, pork chops were very good while the halibut was dry and underwhelming. The steaks were a bit over cooked and not properly seasoned with an over reliance on the accompanying horse radish/wasabi sauce.

Family of four. Everyone enjoyed the food. Food was very good and the service was very good. It was truly an enjoyable evening. Would highly recommend and look forward to returning. Thank you for a great night.

Nice dinner in an intimate setting. Limited, menu, but enough choices for a non-red meat eater to choose from. Pricy, but all the nicer restaurants seem to be that way now.

This is the third year in a row that our grandson picked Gabriella Cafe for his birthday lunch. It never disappoints.
Seth Pratt
Mother’s Day brunch. Food was tasty all around. Bolognese, Benny, chilaquiles. All delightful and flavorful.
Peter
Always the best. Had a wonderful Mother's Day brunch. Feeling both spoiled and at home. Wonderful.
Matthew
Cute little spot. Food was delicious, simple clean ingredients put together well. I have a tendency to complain about something privately during a meal, this one was fabulous for me.
Kristin
Such lovely wait staff—warm, friendly, and caring! And the setting is so cozy and heartwarming. Plus the food is excellent!

We went for my husband's 40th. We normally love Gabriella's, but our artichoke appetizer was lukewarm (warm on the outside and stone cold on the inside) and so was my husband's duck entree. The mashed potatoes were watery as well. $150 dollars later we left sad and disappointed. I wish I could say we'd be back, but that was a lot of money to spend, and a disappointing milestone to not feel was celebrated properly.
What a gem of a place. We’ll be back next time we come through Santa Cruz and want a nice meal.

Genuinely the best Caesar salad i’ve ever had. Coziest atmosphere and the butternut squash ravioli was so delicious.

One of our favorite places, especially on a rainy, quiet night. Their food is always sooo good, crispy chili cauliflower, roasted beet salad and a shared butternut squash ravioli, my personal favorite, and a bottle of 2021 Windy Oaks Pinot. Chef Gema Cruz is an aptly named gem! ♥️

We had a lovely lunch on the recommendation of friends. Fresh and delicious food and professional service. Will Definitely return

This is the best restaurant in the world, had the 2 quail dinner that was the very best ever, they even know how to raise Brussel sprouts to the highest level ever... just sayin
