The food was honestly out of this world delicious. The sourdough toast with ricotta and pistachio might be the best bite I’ve ever had in my life. I had the golden tilefish for dinner and it was cooked beautifully. My wife had the Pork Katsu and it is was also delicious.
Dessert course was awesome. Sticky toffee pudding and an orange cake that will ruin you for all other orange cakes!

Great food, service and vibe!”

“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.”

“Our dinner was outstanding. The service was excellent and the restaurant is beautiful. Can't wait to go back. I felt like I was eating my mother's home cooking.
