Came here for breakfast several days while staying at the Hotel Bennett. Pretty good food. Nothing out of the ordinary, a bit slower than most breakfast places I’ve been, but the food presentation does come out wonderfully. I liked it overall. Covered under the FHR daily dining credit, so I’ll keep coming back, but I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to come here on my own.

I feel compelled to leave a review for Gabrielle after reading such mixed reviews before visiting. Our experience could not have been better! The food, ambiance, and service were exceptional. My husband and I had a small wedding last weekend and picked Gabrielle for dinner afterwards with our wedding party. Angelina greeted us with a complementary glass of champagne and made us feel immediately welcome. After the complimentary brioche rolls and cornbread muffins with seasoned butter, we started our meal with the signature seafood tower, mushroom flatbread, and truffle fries- all delicious, and items we would order again. For our main courses, we enjoyed the mushroom pasta (my parents are still raving about this dish and planning to come back for it specifically), butternut squash main with lentils and romesco (a surprising winner!), the pork chop, the filet, and the chicken breast (all well-enjoyed). We closed the meal out with crème brûlées. Everything was wonderful and we will most definitely come back again! Thank you, Hotel Bennett, and Angelina, for the exceptional experience!

First time dinning here!
We love the ambiance of the setting.
The oysters were fresh (smaller on the size but definitely very fresh).
The octopus with the potatoes were amazing, the meat was not chewy but melt right on the tongue, and the seasoning of the potatoes was excellent.
Short rib- was also great, the meat was tender and juicy. I love the asparagus but minus the extra peanuts sprinkled on top, it was a bit too much.
Macaroon was also yummy.
The espresso martini is a must, it was creamy and splendid.

The green smoothie was delicious and refreshing. The omelet and other dishes were decent, though not particularly memorable. The pricing felt a bit high for what we got, but the atmosphere was lovely and made the visit feel special. Great spot if you’re looking for a nice dining environment.

My husband and I live in Charleston and wanted to try a new brunch spot! We very much enjoyed our meal at Gabrielle. The hotel was decorated for the holidays which was so cozy! Our food was delicious and they were able to make my meal vegetarian very easily. My chai latte was superb and we left feeling very content. A HUGE shoutout to our server Jim! He was so attentive, engaging and a genuinely nicer human. We plan to enjoy brunch at Gabrielle again and also ask for Jim to be our server!

Gabrielle is the fine dining restaurant located in The Hotel Bennett on King Street in downtown Charleston. This was a last minute reservation for a party of 6 and the Maître D’ was exceptionally gracious in welcoming our group.
The cocktails were innovative and refreshing. My husband and I ordered the Caesar Salad which is a favorite. The server offered to split it for us, which we appreciated. This was the perfect start to our dining experience. I ordered the Maine Scallops and my husband ordered the Swordfish along with a shared side of the puréed potatoes. Both entrees were prepared to perfection, although my bernaise arrived late and was a bit too thick for my taste. We also shared a bottle of the 2020 Duckhorn Merlot.
Dessert was called Citrus and the fragrance was heavenly as it was served. Quite lovely and inventive.

Gabrielle’s delivered a wonderful dining experience in the heart of Charleston. The cocktails were expertly crafted, and the Caesar salad was crisp and full of flavor. The filet was perfectly cooked—tender and juicy—paired with fingerling potatoes that were crispy and delicious. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the ambiance was elegant yet relaxed. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but worth it for a special night out.

Gabrielle’s is located inside Hotel Bennett. We dined at Gabrielle’s for breakfast during our stay in the hotel and it was an great experience.
The restaurant aligns with the hotel and falls on the nicer side of things. Their ceilings are tall with nice wood tables and chairs. The restaurant is on the side of the hotel and has a large patio area that connects it. It looked very nice and we would have loved to dined out there but unfortunately it rained the night before and everything was wet.
For food we got a savory dish and a sweet dish and split it. I got the Gabrielle’s breakfast and that was basically a standard breakfast; eggs, meat, potatoes, and toast. All items about it was really good. Even the toast and jelly was excellent. My wife got the Brioche French Toast and that was very good! The dish seemed like it melted in your mouth! I’ve never had any French toast like that! Either dish is a great option!
Whether your staying at Hotel Bennett or just in the area, Gabrielle’s is a nice place to eat! I can’t speak for lunch or dinner but if it’s anything like the breakfast, you won’t be disappointed!

Mixed feelings about the restaurant . Breakfast parfait and green bowl were delicious. But dinner food was from different universe. Low country furloo was not just tasteless , it was almost dangerous for my teeth. Steamed fish and shrimp components were served on rice that was caramelized and tasted like stones.

The other day my wife and I had lunch at Gabrielle Charleston in the Hotel Bennett. Everything was prepared and presented to perfection! The service was impeccable. What more can one say? The next time you are in downtown Charleston, you simply must put this place on your dining list.
