Read More On Citysearch Georgehy 11/13/2009 - Exceeded my expectations-I'll be backDinner at Gabriel's was a very nice surprise. I always was hesitant to try Gabriel's because the pictures of the sign out front made me think it was more like Chucky Cheese- I mean the interior is beautiful- calm, warm and inviting. They should get a more subtle sign in the front. But that's just my opinion- the owner has children, their pictures are on the menu which makes you feel more connec...
Read More On Citysearch cpiro 2/2/2009 - fantastic...A client recommended lunch at this restaurant and I had never heard of it. I can now say I think it is fantastic! Very cool decor and the food is unique and delicious. You should definitely try it. The appetizers are always good - and the desserts are worth to try.
Read More On Citysearch bairrbob 12/8/2008 - Elegant diningGabriels is a true gem...a beautifully decorated and spacious space that serves homemade pastas and wood-grilled game. Located next to the Time Warner Center, Gabriel's is very easily accessible. What's more, its perfect for a business lunch or a romantic dinner.

Thanks for being a classic!
Read More On Citysearch ThereSea 11/8/2008 - Good Atmosphere and Fantastic FoodDelicious, good atmosphere. Someone below said "small portions"? Well, he probably ordered small because my friend and I got huge portions! This place is not that expensive really, typical restaurant. The service is good & the food is fresh & taste great! I would recommend this place to any one.
Read More On Citysearch wardcoyle 9/30/2008 - VERY GOOD!!I went on a first date recently to Gabriel's and had an excellent time. The food was delicious, the waiter was very attentive and the wine list was exceptional. The ambiance was also very nice for for a first date. Highly recommended.
Read More On Citysearch Jonathan78 9/3/2008 - Top Notch Cuisine & ServiceMy wife & I have been to Gabriel's several times over the years. We love the atmosphere & service but mostly return due to the delicious cuisine which is always served fresh and cooked perfectly. What we also like about it is that it's not all typical red-sauce Italian dishes and the menu always has something interesting to offer. Highly recommended!
Read More On Citysearch oliveyr 4/24/2008 - Wonderful first impressionI stopped in here for dinner all by myself one day. I had to spend some time before going to the opera. I'm so glad I did because the food was delicious and the martinis generously sized and perfectly made. Before my dinner arrived I was given a wonderful selection of bread and rolls. My entree was a zucchini pasta and it was so good I could have eaten two. The atmosphere struck me as a litt...

Read More On Citysearch bbccrain 5/25/2007 - Food not that great, Service is not bad, quite pricey.
I went to this restaurant with my husband last Friday based on the good reviews in here, but was very dissappointed. We ordered the scallop and beef ribs. The scallop was overcooked and the rib is very dry, its like chewing on paper. The service was not bad. But the food is really not good and price is expensive. Not recommended at all. When it comes to food, I am usually not as picky as my husba...
Read More On Citysearch cbundy 5/18/2007 - I can't wait to go backI had the Grilled Portobello appetizer and the Tortellini filled with Lamb and my dining partner had the Cesar Salad and the Baby Chicken. Everything was delicious! The service was attentive and the atmosphere was simple and quiet. The highlight remains, for me the food. This was one of the restaurants that we both left raving and recommending prompting my company to ask how I had found such...
Read More On Citysearch uwsjade 9/5/2006 - Neighborhood FavoriteSo convenient for me, ends up being a great standby. Courtious staff who always remembers a face and good food. It has gotten a little crowded since Time Warner Center opened, but still a good place to have around in a snap.
Read More On Citysearch b102198 8/12/2006 - Conservative Bistro Still Packs a Lot of Flavor from the Shadow of the Time Warner BuildingFor those looking for a well-turned, moderate-to-expensively priced dinner close to the theater district and Lincoln Center, this unassuming American bistro does a nice job. You would hardly notice the restaurant on 60th Street even if it does have a prime location near Columbus Circle simply because the massive Time Warner building complex dwarves it. Yet, you can get a fine pre-theater meal eve...
Read More On Citysearch Ed_Uyeshima 6/26/2006 - Tasty Italian Cuisine, Great Wine ListMy wife & I went here for a Birthday dinner and were immediately impressed with the wine list. So many to choose from. The service was attentive without being bothersome. The appetizers(Caesar Salad & Portobello Mushroom) came out fresh & timely. My wife had gnocchi which was cooked perfectly. I had the salmon which had a really nice sauce. No room for dessert, maybe next time as we'd go back aga...
Read More On Citysearch craspin 5/8/2006 - disappointingAfter reading good reviews, I was looking forward to dinner here, but it was nothing special. The food was just ok, service marginal. The ceasar salad didn't taste especially good & had too much anchovy (& I like anchovies). The waitress, though polite, basically ignored us after taking our order. And it was expensive for what we got. To say something positive, the bread was very good. I'd t...
Read More On Citysearch jbny 2/13/2006 - Very ReliableWent there for only the second time last Thu with friends at 9pm for a quick bite. The waitress lost some points for not refilling our champagne glasses. We only wanted appetizers but also ordered a pasta entree to share. It couldn't be helped, delicious! The mussels were all fresh, unlike most places in NYC where you always get a few bad ones. The beef carpaccio was also marvelous as was th...
Read More On Citysearch gwwong 11/7/2005 - Wonderful food and serviceWe have eaten at Gabriel's several times, and each time the food was delicious. It is not completely authentic Italian but very good anyway. If you go, be sure to request the Italian waiter (I think he's the only one in the restaurant). He's great--really knows a lot about food and cares. The decor could use a little bit of an update. Overall, a great place to eat if you're going to a show.
Read More On Citysearch acc100 10/16/2005 - User review by babbo4Gabriel's is both dismal or very good. We have been there numerous times times over the last five years and have found the food and service very inconsistent. One time the food and service top notch, another time the food is uninspired and the service poor. The previous reviews only confirm the assessement. In other words it's hit or miss. If you find the right nighy, enjoy. Otherise you ha...
Read More On Citysearch babbo4 8/18/2005 - Good wine list, but...The reds are served far too warm, the whites far too cold. This is a pity since the selection really is good. Even a great wine can be ruined if served at the wrong temperature.
Food was of mixed quality. A side of grilled asparagus with parmesan and quail egg was fresh and simple. The Caesar salad was sub par as was the grilled tuna. The pappardelle was nicely smokey, however. Despite the ed...
Read More On Citysearch chewygranola 7/21/2005 - Great Service, Not So Great Food
The hostess, bartender, and waiter were so friendly and attentive. Really amazing service. The mussels (appetizer) were excellent, but the entrees (red snapper for me, seared tuna steak for my friend) were lukewarm and dissapointing. There are too many other places in the city I'd rather go to for a $30 entree.
Read More On Citysearch username1023 6/26/2005 - A Wonderful MealThe dinner and wine menus offered many tantalizing options, from which it was truly difficult to choose. The service and staff were excellent: accomodating, helpful and charming. A truly lovely evening and ideally located quite close to Lincoln Center for pre-opera dining.
Read More On Citysearch kpangaro 6/10/2005 - Great meal, great location!My wife & I visited Gabriel's before a show at nearby Lincoln Center. We both enjoyed our meals very much. She had the Tuna Steak & I had the Seared Sea Scallops. Both were cooked perfectly. The service was great and the wine list was exceptional. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Read More On Citysearch freddyd 4/21/2004 - Too, too, toobad for words. Too crowded. Too smelly (could've been the guy eating the gigantic sardines at the TOO close table next to us). Too noisy. Too B&T. Too loud. Too expensive for what you get. Too bad.
Read More On Citysearch hryland 1/14/2004 - Yum!Have eaten here a dozen times or more, this is an absolutely reliable standby. Love the pastas and the pork shank and definitely get a recommendation from the sommelier - he is excellent and won't suggest anything overpriced.
Read More On Citysearch sflem4970 1/29/2003 - Very Good RestaurantGood restaurant. Service is good. Food is good. Better than many for restaurants on the west side.
Read More On Citysearch NYYANKEE 1/19/2003 - Our favorite localWe live a few blocks away and have become regulars. It's too pricey to go every week but it's always terrrific and brings us back 1x/mo or so. The staff is very professional and friendly. A terrific place to linger over a nice wine -- their cellar/selection is excellent and sommelier is terrific, too.
Casually elegant setting, and good place to pop in for a drink, too.
Read More On Citysearch mjneuwirth 12/9/2002 - DELICIOUS!I've been to Gabriel's once before and had great service and an excellent meal. My wife & I returned and tried different menu items. This time, I liked it even more than the first visit and the wine selection is exceptional. I highly recommend Gabriel's.
Read More On Citysearch husky 11/22/2002 - The #1 worst experience
The #1 worst restaurant experience ever. As other diners were seated around us and began to get their orders, we waited over a bottle of wine. The waiter would not respond to us. Finally, with 20 minutes to go before our theater performance, the waiter brought our food explainig he would send the manager because the kitchen lost our order. The manager arrived saying "Yeah, what's the problem ...
Read More On Citysearch jlinder1 10/27/2002 - Not worth your bucks!Soo many better restaurants in this area that this should not even be around. The food is mediocre and the prices are too high! I had seafood lasagna with shells in it and just plopped into a bowl. It took a very long time to receive our food as well. Go somewhere else!
Read More On Citysearch gaudyglitterati 10/27/2002 - Poor ValueThe food was decent but not worth the $350 + it came to for just three of us (before tip, just one bottle of wine). We had to wait quite a while between appetizer and entre so not sure it is good for pre-theatre. Overall, I would say there are better, more reasonably priced restaurants in the area and for the type of food.

Read More On Citysearch dkhos 9/11/2002 - Feh!I've been to Gabriel's many times for both business and personal meals, and although the food is delicious and interesting, there's something about the ambiance I don't like. It's a little too roomy, and feels a bit sterile. Very good wine list.
Read More On Citysearch Cariad1 9/9/2002 - Style without stuffinessI have been back a few times and have never been dissapointed in the wonderful service, unique dishes and delightful decor.
