My wedding was kept at The Gables and the set up by the staff was so beautiful. When I entered the reception area, I was speechless. The place was indeed 'Rustic Elegant', even my husband was speechless. The food is excellent, your taste bud come alive with each bite. Their caesar salad with anchovy,
margherita flatbread, tomato crostini,Salmon is mouthwatering good. The owner Ann and manager Cathy is lovely, welcoming and comforting. Our waiter Nick was amazing! My wedding was in september and the staff and owner Ann kept everyone safe and organize during the current pandemic. This place is a hidden gem and I am glad I found it, it made my husband and I day very special. If you have your wedding or just go there to eat, you'll not be disappointed :)

Wouldn’t have Changed a Thing
Thanks to Kelly and Carol at the Gables, our wedding was everything we hoped for and an amazing day. The venue was beautiful, the food amazing and Carol was on top of every detail to make the day run smoothly. I didn’t have to lift a finger and felt like a Queen for the day. I just wish we could do it again! We highly recommend the Gables for any event.

May 2019 wedding - amazing so far!
We are getting married at the Gables in May 2019, and so far the team at the Gables has been AMAZING! They are super responsive and patient with all of our questions. They are flexible and very willing to work within your budget. We’ve been to the restaurant a couple times for lunch, and the food is DELICIOUS. We’ll add more detail after our big day in May!
