Cinnamon Donuts and Warm Chocolate Sauce

December 13, 2009

What can I say?  It’s a tired cliche yet I’m going to use it: “A picture is worth a thousand words”. And, when it comes to the Cinnamon Donuts dessert at Gabrielle’s, I’ll let you be the judge. If you love a warm, cinnamon dusted, chocolatey  all-in-one bite delight, you need look no further. I’ve rushed [...]

Grilled BBQ Salmon

December 3, 2009

There’s something instantly appetizing about a piece of salmon.  The color is so rich, the texture so flaky one can almost taste the resplendent sweetness as it sits beckoning on the plate.  At Gabrielles, Chef J completes his presentation with a unique supporting cast.  The salmon rests upon a rock shrimp and Yukon potato hash.  [...]

Thanksgiving’s origins can be traced to harvest festivals in many different cultures.  The early pilgrim settlers in America would celebrate the successful growing season with the native Americans who had taught them how to catch eel and grow corn.  So it evolved simply enough as a gathering among neighbors and friends.  Thanksgiving begins a very [...]

Roasted Half Chicken

November 13, 2009

If you’ve visited Gabrielles more than just a few times, I’m sure you’ve noticed one constant on the menu.  The semi boneless half roasted chicken has a permanent home on this menu.  This roasted chicken entree has some very dedicated followers, who I understand couldn’t bear to see it removed.  I don’t often order chicken [...]

Pizza

November 3, 2009

I have a very good friend who begins each meal at Gabrielle’s with the clam pizza. He’s got to start with the pizza because as he says, “It’s the best.” He really enjoys his food, and the pizza is just his appetizer. I know why he loves it so much as I’ve had all three [...]

Baby Back Ribs

October 30, 2009

Who doesn’t love baby back ribs that melt in your mouth, that make you protective of every last rib on your plate, or that you gobble down with warp speed fearing some rib robber is lurking in the dark?  We clean ourselves up after we indulge, and proclaim “we’ve just had the the best ribs” [...]

Scallop Risotto

October 14, 2009

Chef Jason sat with me recently and we talked about a favorite on Gabrielle’s menu: the Scallop Risotto. A risotto is often thought to be and expression of love. If you slowly and carefully coax this little darling, you’ll be rewarded with an amazing creaminess that will get you counting the days before you repeat [...]
