Gabriels Bar and Restaurant

Great breakfast! The hollandaise sauce had just the right amount of lemon was rich and creamy. Out of the 3 protein options, lobster, salmon or ham, I choose ham as I like the classic. Some roasted potatoes and a small salad. I'd have preferred more potatoes but it's the thing no. Washed down with my peach Bellini. Our service was on point and the restaurant was full.

My friend and I had brunch here recently. While neighboring Sarabeth's was very busy, Gabriels was nearly empty when both places were first open for the day for some reason. After our positive experience, I am not sure why more people did not know to check Gabriels out.Despite that observation, we had a very enjoyable meal! We sat near the window with a view of Central Park. The service was attentive. We both had breakfast food, and it was yummy. I would come back and try their lunch or dinner fare another time!

A wonderful place, with great service and incredible food. We did a private party here - about 40 people in the private room. Gabriel personally worked with me to get thoughts on the menu. In the end, we did several appetizers, six entrees (a few pastas, the Branzino, a filet steak), and a few desserts. Everyone loved the food; I got so many compliments on the choice of restaurant. Normally at these events I do not get to eat, but this time I did. I had the filet steak and got to try the tiramisu and panna cotta. All were incredible. I'd love to return on a date.

AMAZING! The wine and drink recs The food is AWESOME! Family owned and ran. We had great service and the atmosphere is great! So good we went back again and canceled the other Italian reservation! I can't wait to visit again! We met the owner and his sons, they treated us so kindly and took great care of us! Go here!! Eat! You won't be sad!

Great place for a yummy bite with a clean and posh ambiance right by Central Park, south. BUT, there are some things to consider. First of all, sitting in the patio area/outside dining is a scene. Great people watching if you can snag a table. The bar area also looks nice but the inside seems to cater to the elder's eye. It's a cool art deco look that was pristinely cared for through the years (looks that way). But the inside isn't hip at all. We sat in the back and got brunch. I ordered the eggs Benedict. It hit the spot and was made very traditionally. However, the potatoes were not crispy. They don't serve them crispy. They fry them to a point where it's limp and oily. I'm not sure what style this is but it is consistent. All the brunch plates we got had these types of potato. The donuts for dessert come on a cool Ferris wheel thing with chocolate and caramel sauces. See pics. The sauces were a bit too runny and watery. But the donuts tasted good with the sauce spooned over regardless. They're called Bombalonis on the menu. As for price.. yes, it's over priced. But you'd expect that from a restaurant by Central Park. I give the food a 3.5 and the ambiance a 3.5. I give it

This restaurant was great!! The food was delicious!! What made our time there so great were these 2 brothers who worked there. I'm so sad I don't remember their names but they were great! One sat us down and got us started and the other brother took over. They made our experience that much better!!! We will definitely go back next time we are in NYC!

The restaurant was nice and cool on a hot day. Each table was set nicely with fresh roses. I ordered the cold cucumber soup that was described as cucumbers, yogurt, and fresh herbs. When it arrived, it had an unappetizing pink hue and I noticed a strawberry garnish. The sweet strawberry taste overpowered the soup, so I didn't eat the whole thing, which was disappointing at a $24 price tag. The linguini and clams were pretty good, and my friend enjoyed her butternut squash in brown butter sauce. If you are looking for a bite to eat around Central Park and don't mind overpriced food, Gabriel's will do the trick.

This Gnocchi Sorrentina and Pappardelle Cacio e Pepe were amazing! We sat at the bar and got to chat with Gabriel himself, who is such an amazing owner and host. Loved everything about this experience!

Went here recently with some family.Really a great visit.Guests loved it and so did my wife and I!Will be back again soon for the lamb chops and pastas.Richard Barthelmes

My husband and I had dinner at Gabriel's to celebrate our 20th anniversary. What a lovely restaurant! The hostess showed us to our table after wishing us a happy anniversary. The service was attentive and prompt but we did not feel rushed. My husband and I shared a Caesar salad and our waitress plated it separately so we each had our own serving! Our mains were pasta, definitely homemade and delicious! We were also graced with a visit from none other than Gabriel himself! It was nice to meet the owner and it shows how much pride & care goes into running the restaurant. The best part came when, after declining dessert, they brought us over a complimentary piece of chocolate cake with "happy anniversary " written on the plate! So thoughtful and really made our night special. If we lived closer we'd definitely come back.
