The Gables Historic Inn & Restaurant

Gables is great. The atmosphere/ambience is so beautiful. The food and service are always excellent. My only suggestion is to bring back the ala carte menu. We live only a few blocks away and eat there infrequently due to the $130pp prix fixe menu. Too steep for regular dining. Additionally, we do not normally eat three courses.

This place was way beyond 5 stars ! The staff was so friendly and attentive! The atmosphere was just so nice, and not formal. the food was delicious ( although a bit of a limited menu ). Sometimes, gourmet food is skimpy, but this was just the right proportion for every course! Other clients there were also friendly, but everyone seemed to be locals before the summer rush comes in. Next time, I think we're staying over night !

All staff were extremely welcoming including the owners. Food was delicious. Service was great. Will definitely be back!

We have lived in the area for over 35 years and have never been to the restaurant but have heard great things about it. The decor was lovely and the food was outstanding. It was a pre fixe priced for three courses. While the restaurant is a bit pricey, the food was exceptional. A great Easter dinner!!

The Gables never disappoints! From the warm welcome by owners, Sandra and Steve, to our attentive wait staff - Brie and Laura and the wonderfully creative menu, our Easter dinner was a memorable feast. Looking forward to our next visit.

What a pleasure having Easter dinner at The Gables. Everything was perfect! The food was fantastic and service was top notch. A special shout out to Cas and Karly who made the day special.

The restaurant is very beautiful. Elegant and old world. The service was impeccable. The staff are extremely friendly and wonderful and the owner is gracious. It is a prix fix menu which is why I only gave 4 stars. I'm sure in this era it cuts down on costs and allows the restaurant to perfect their menu so I'm not criticizing just making note. You can BYOB, and they do have a selection of house wine favorites. It is a must try and definitely one of the best meals I've had on the island.

We celebrated a birthday, and it was absolutely a perfect meal and experience. The food and service were excellent. It was also nice sitting near a real fireplace on a cold April evening.

This restaurant is the rare pearl in an oyster We are going back because the menu was so enticing that we want to try everything

Valentines Day Dinner in the Library was so elegant and romantic.. The menu was extraordinary and dining was delectable! Our server Kate and the support staff were so kind and professional!

Had dinner there nov 30, looked forward to it,but was very disappointed ☹️ small portions and a price fixed menu of $120 pp appy, entree and dessert. I had An average salad, a miniature lobster tail and one fatty short rib, called surf and turf, a small pastry dessert.service was good but ended up costing $320. I will never go back, it’s a ripoff 🥴🥴 ps: bread was excellent

Our weekend get away included dinner at The Gables. Exceptional experience! Food and service was of the highest quality. We're more drawn to Cape May, but for a quick get away this was convenient. Now we found a great place to revisit.

Food and drinks: Our first time there, but I would imagine anything on the menu would be exceptional.

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.  The owners walk around to each table to chat with the diners. I loved that personal touch! My wife  and I were thrilled with the experience.

Had the pleasure of staying at the The Gables this past week. I do a good deal of travel and get to see plenty of hotels and inns. This one is right there at the top of the list. Just down the block from the beach, it drips charm, warmth and history yet has all of the modern stuff (AC, TV, WiFi, EV charger etc). Dinner was amazing and the hosts, my friends Steve Beninati and Sondra Beninati as well as the staff really know how to make you feel at home. If you want a place at the Jersey shore for just yourself or for a larger party, this is the place you are looking for.

We met up with friends for dinner and stayed the night. The Gables is so warm and inviting with such a welcoming upon approaching the property with beautiful landscape. We immediately felt welcomed. The hosts and staff deliver the highest level of hospitality. Dinner was delicious. Food quality and presentations are top notch. The room we stayed in was beautifully designed, very detailed. Great amenities and so comfortable. We can’t wait to return. A must see at the Jersey Shore!!!
