Reviews
1. Brussels Sprouts with Pork Belly – The portion was laughable. Four sprouts cut in half and barely any pork belly.
2. Short Rib Mac & Cheese – Completely dry, and whatever “short rib” was in there tasted burnt. It was inedible.
3. Calamari – Zero flavor and obviously frozen. Also inedible.
4. Mahi Mahi Tacos – So overcooked the fish looked and chewed like chicken. Easily the worst version I’ve ever had.
5. Steak Fajitas – Drenched in a thick, gloopy gravy-like mess. I’ve never seen fajitas served like that.
6. Shrimp Dish – The only thing remotely decent, which isn’t saying much.
We also ordered chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, and penne vodka. I wasn’t there when those were eaten, but they’re basics—hard to screw up.
The one positive: the bartender was great—friendly, attentive, professional. Unfortunately, the food was so bad that even excellent service couldn’t save the experience.
However, today (Friday at 4 PM) I was charged full price. When I asked why happy hour wasn’t applied, I was told that the promotion only applies to a different draft beer, not Kane. This seems strange, because Kane draft has always been included before. On your posted promotion, it just says “draft beer $4,” without specifying only one kind out of several.
I wanted to clarify if there has been a change in the happy hour rules. I’ve enjoyed coming here regularly, but it’s disappointing when expectations set by your promotion aren’t met.
Then we stood at the host stand.
And stood there.
And kept standing there.
It wasn’t clear if we were early, invisible, or part of the décor. Eventually, someone turned around and acknowledged us, which was reassuring. Not in a “welcome to Gabriele’s” kind of way. More in a “oh, you’re still here” kind of way.
We sat down and met our server. Since it was our first time, we asked the most normal question possible: “What are your favorite things on the menu?”
This is where things took a turn.
Instead of recommending anything, she began listing the things we should never order. Not in a joking way. In a deeply sincere, battle-worn way.
“Don’t get the soup.”
“Stay away from the tacos.”
“Some of the stuff here is horrible.”
“I get complaints all the time.”
It was less of a menu recommendation and more of a consumer warning. I felt like I was being quietly rescued.
At that point, ordering anything felt like signing a waiver.
The food itself wasn’t terrible. Mine was fine. Some people at the table weren’t thrilled with theirs, but honestly, the expectations had already been lowered so effectively that it barely registered.
I’ve never had a server try to talk me out of the menu before. Points for honesty, I guess.
