The 10 Worst Dishes of 2023 - Eater NY

"There was the germ of a good idea at Gab’s, dressing a fatty pork rib ($34) with Mexican chiles, but somehow the idea went awry. The sodden wads of kale weighed the dish down, making it damp and bitter, while the salsa negra was grimly grainy and wept red oil. And the charred lemons were an unnecessary distraction from what had previously been a good piece of meat." - Robert Sietsema

"Owner Gabby Madden and Chef Nate Ashton have fashioned a quirky, lovable space complete with rose-pink banquettes, light mauve walls, mismatched chandeliers and colorful abstract artwork. But, don't misjudge this frilly space since they are doing some serious cooking here. The modern European menu with small and large plates brims with depth and balance. Heartwarming favorites include house-made spätzle tossed with roasted mushrooms, Comté cheese and shaved black truffle. Pork ribs are a specialty, but the poulet roti is a delight. Chicken roulade with crispy skin is served over farro and sided by sweet parsnip purée and morel mushrooms, delivering hearty flavors in a satisfying, well-rounded dish." - Michelin Inspector

Bon Appétit Staff’s Favorite Restaurant Meals, February 2023 | Bon Appétit

"I left my visit to Gab's, which opened last month and serves "seasonal New York cuisine," with a food memory that’s lodged itself deep in my mind. The restaurant’s Berkshire pork rib took two years to develop, our server told us. Those years of perfecting really paid off. The meaty ribs are marinated in gochujang, honey and mustard, slow-cooked for 24 hours, and then glazed with a blood orange and guajillo pepper sauce. The dish balanced smoky heat and buttery texture, and it kept me going back for just one more bite. I have to admit, I did not have the good judgment to order it, but luckily my wife did. The moment it landed on our table, it became a “family-style” meal." - ByElazar Sontag

Editing my review to add that they are now also serving brunch. Best brunch in Manhattan. Some of the standouts are the house made biscuit served with ricotta and seasonal fruit jam, and the soft scrambled egg. Seasonal, local food elevated to fine cuisine! The food was delicious, and the atmosphere is so cozy and charming. Service was impeccable!

When this place opened, it was pretty impossible to get a reservation because of the IG influencers. Now, it’s quite empty - we went on a Friday night and the restaurant was only 50% full. I’m surprised the traffic died down, since it does have good food. The location is definitely a little out of the way but worth trying. The oysters are very unique - it’s topped with olive oil and rhubarb and I didn’t miss the usual dressings because they didn’t taste fishy. Surprisingly, the pork chops were my fav and I usually don’t like pork. It’s extremely tender and flavorful (prob bc it’s bone in). The burger is huge but I wasn’t too impressed tbh. The fennel salad was great. Croquettes tasted good but were huge. One complaint I had though was the drinks took forever to come out - every round we ordered took a long time and the restaurant was pretty empty. Their bar was tiny and there was only one bartender so I guess that’s why. Overall, I liked the vibe and food and two dishes were memorable so I would say it’s worth trying.

Absolutely phenomenal. A NYC gem that will no doubt be a NYC staple. The atmosphere is laidback, cool and unpretentious. Chefs kiss to chef Nate. Cannot say anything bad. Tried half the menu at brunch, but the highlight for me was definitely their burger. It is the details that make it special. Breads and sauces are made in house, flavours are carefully curated, and everything just blends to perfection. Will be returning until I’ve tried everything on the menu 👏🏼

Quality and inventive food, relaxed atmosphere with funky tunes, definitely a place that I will be returning to knowing that an amazing meal awaits. Their oysters tasted like they came straight out of the ocean. Also particularly appreciate that they don’t have a huge and overwhelming menu!

Omg such a divine experience, we had a great brunch. The homemade biscuit is to die for. Sunchoke and kale hash eggs had very tasty seasoning and was very refreshing. The french toast is delicious but sharing is recommended as it is very sweet. The ambiance is cosy and eclectic. The espresso martini was surprisingly strong and tasty :)) and did I mention the biscuitsss....

I went to have dinner at gabs and I must say it was absolutely delicious! My entire experience was great from entry to exit. I ordered a Van Gogh cocktail and it was delicious. I also had their Scallops which were some of the best I’ve had! The service was great very friendly and nice. I would definitely come back here and bring people highly recommend

Every single dish was absolutely delicious. Truly. The kampachi crudo. The black maitake. The New York strip. All spectacular. But oh my god, it was so loud in there. I know, I know roll me straight on back to the nursing home but I don't care. This was the absolute loudest restaurant I have ever eaten at. But then again, hearing yourself think is overrated. Pass the pomme dauphin.

Brunch at Gabs is my new favorite in the city! The brûlée French toast, sausage egg and cheese biscuit, and the pork rib hash were AMAZZZING!! Something so special was the beef tongue sandwich! It is prepared like pastrami and it is to die for. Every element at this place is so special. Every ingredient has the most unique story, as the sourcing is highly considered. Kudos to this team!

Tuesday at 7pm I wasn't happy about commuting all the way downtown to meet a friend for dinner . It made sense why she chose the place as it's across her job . When I first walked the place , my impression was cute , simple and colorful, the menu is new American and the decor was in line with. They have a cute bar situated as soon as you walk in, perfect place to wait. I was greeted by a friendly hostess. Slowly I was no longer regretting my long trip from the uws . I started with a nice glass of Austrian white ( I appreciated the bartenders knowledge). We shared the chicken liver moose and boquerones ( daily special ) which both were a perfect complement to my white wine . As she was trying to be healthy , we had the monkfish with clams, also tasty ! For dessert, we chose the bread pudding , nice and warm and had apples underneath . A scoop of ice cream would have made it even better . I really wanted to try the porkchop for dinner so I guess given the nice experience I had , I'll be back for them ! They have a few tables outdoors , great for people watching . Aa we left around 8:30 , it's when it picked up .

Eclectic menu with waitstaff noticeably more invested in diner enjoyment than at peer restaurants. Monkfish croquettes for like $10 were the star of the show. Gnocchi was good but a tiny portion. Japanese eggplant was unique. Chicken entree also enjoyable. Definitely worth approaching it more like a small plates restaurant.

I went here with one of my group several months ago I'm pretty sure within a few months after they opened back in late June. I'm unsure if the food portions have changed but the menu does appear to be different now. We shared a lot of dishes and left a bit hungry even though we all spent a good chunk of change with the only dishes that were filling were the spätzle and the strip steak. The rest of them were pretty tiny for the portions but the flavors were decent with my favorites in terms of flavors being the spatzle, the sunchokes, and the croquettes. To drink I went with the Palette Negroni for $18 with gin, green tea infused dry vermouth, and amaro after confirming said amaro as per usual as I like to make sure that it's not aperol or another very sweet amaro. The drink was pretty solid albeit a bit small for $18 but then again it's a cocktail in the West Village so that's partially expected. The service overall was friendly though it did take a very long time for the steak to come out though they were attentive letting us know that it was because it was very busy. I liked the lighting there as well and I can see this place as being good for brunch. As it's raw, the Kampachi Crudo with wasabi, sea beans, and brown butter ponzu for $21 arrived first which was expected. Kampachi is also known as greater amberjack and it is a buttery white fish. The dressing was light and it came with three reasonably sized pieces for $21 which puts some sushi bars to shame in terms of price point. The fish was fresh but i'm not sure if it was worth it. Soon arriving after was the Monkfish Croquettes with ramp aioli and umami powder. These came with two kibbeh sized portions for $12 and they were tasty. The aioli had an herbal flavor which complimented the fish. I would recommend these. There was also Asparagus Tartare for $18 with sunflower seeds, trout roe, and basil. Asparagus tartare is a bit of a weird name for a dish and it arrived similar looking to a tuna tartare find another places with a small circular dish. The asparagus was fresh but there wasn't nearly enough trout roe for the price and outside of it looking nice, this wasn't worth it in the slightest. The first slightly larger dish were the Sunchokes and Fava Beans with herb pistou, chrysanthemum leaf, and pecorino for $18. The sunchokes had a wonderful texture and I presume they were roasted or something else. The dressing had a good flavor from the pistou which is kind of like a nut-less pesto. This was tasty and I would order it again even if there wasn't much pecorino. Next biggest was the Spätzle/Spatzle with snap peas, crab, and sauce soubise for $28. Said sauce he is essentially a sauce consisting of onions cooked and lots of béchamel and it had a good richness which was offset by the greens. The spätzle was cooked nicely and while there wasn't much crab it still be tasted through a good amount of the dish. For $28, I wouldn't mind a little bit more spätzle for the price but it was still tasty. After a while we got the NY Strip with preserved meyer lemon, pomme dauphin, and spring onion for $49. The steak was cooked nicely and the portion size was decent. The meat was tender though cut thin and the pomme dauphin were excellent. Overall it was tasting and pretty much worth it for the price. The flavors here were decent and the service was nice but I'm not sure if it was worth it for the price point. While there was some unique offerings and the stuff was cooked well enough, I don't think the technique justifies the prices outside of it being in the West Village. Mid/low 3.

We came on a week night and it was pretty slow. Because of that, the servers were extremely attentive and helpful. They took the time to help us decide which entrees to get. The vibe was great, low music, great decor, comfy couch seats. They also have a small bar area that you can sit at, great for a first date if you can get a reservation. The drinks were great! Perfectly balanced - and they do not skimp on the liquor. For food, we started off with the homemade sourdough to share. It was fresh and chewy. I wish I can eat their bread all day. My husband and I ordered the chicken and the burger to share. I always love a good burger, although simple, it was cooked and seasoned very well. The fries that came with it was crunchy and fresh. Our server highly recommended the chicken and it was amazing! Cooked to the right temperature and paired very well with the mustard jus. The menu is limited and quite pricey for the portions. I'm hoping they can add seasonal items so I can come back and try more!

Kind of between a 4.0-4.25 on this one. The decor is super cute and service was great. I would say I enjoyed everything but wasn't wowed by the food either. I ordered a mocktail, the Paper Cut, which was refreshing and exactly what I wanted. Tried the stracciatella/fennel appetizer-- ngl I'm kind of annoyed that one doesn't come with complimentary bread. On its own, the dish doesn't feel complete so you're kind of pressured into spending an extra $6 on their homemade sourdough (which was good but I don't think it warranted $6 for 4 tiny pieces). For my entree I had the pork chop, which was juicy and cooked well with good flavor.

Cute space, great service, clean bathroom, and decent food but not sure the taste was good enough to justify the price in my opinion. My friends and I split the sourdough bread (not pictured), oysters (too expensive), mussels (wouldn't recommend because I was expecting them to come in shells but it didn't), and the kampachi crudo (my fave). I did like my burger and fries but it wasn't a stand out. Our server was great though and I really appreciate that this wasn't the kind of place that rushed us out as we were finishing our

‼Ugh, lovely new spot in Hudson Sq/West Village with rotating menu and gorgeous ambiance‼ First thing: the drinks. I wish I got more. The mezcal Prosecco cocktail that really surprised me - I ordered two! It was so balanced, I could find all flavors. Second thing: The food was delicious. The first dish we got was the spatzle, which was creamy and indulgent but bright from the peas and fresh from the crab. The second was the sunchoke and fava bean, which was my friends favorite - herbal but still comforting. The last thing was the monkfruit croquettes - fresh tasting and the breading was light with a flavorful green sauce. So bomb. All so fresh and delicious! Last: the service - STELLAR! Our waitress was so friendly and Gab, the owner, was thoughtful and welcoming! We even spotted her keeping her restaurant kept picking off old leaves from her gorgeous plants. You can tell she puts care, love and thought into this spot. I'd highly recommend!

This is a fantastic restaurant really good energy. Excellent food and solid service The weird item here is that the artwork is possibly the worst in all of NYC. Seriously a great burger but worth the art experience. I'm thinking an 8th grade art class was given brushes and canvas and maybe some moly. Other than that I recommend.

I would have left three stars at first, but they really redeemed themselves by the end of the night with incredible food. I can't give five stars because the whole restaurant was just way too loud. There was loud pop music playing which really didn't fit the vibe, and combined with the noise from other guests, we had to shout to hear each other. Here's the whole story. We had a reservation, but we arrived an hour early to ask if they might be able to seat us ahead of time. They couldn't, which was no problem at all, so we went across the street for a drink while we waited for our reservation time. It took a little longer than expected getting our check at the other place so we arrived back to Gab's about 5 minutes late. It turns out they had texted and called me ~2 minutes before our reservation time to ask if we were still going to make it. I hadn't been checking my phone in the past few minutes so didn't see the text or call until after we arrived back at Gab's. When we arrived (again, only 5 minutes late) it seemed they had given our table to someone else, despite claiming to have a 15 minute grace period. They said we would be seated shortly, so we stood around for ~5-10 minutes... eventually they offered us temporary seats at the bar. We ordered drinks at the bar and sat for what felt like another 5ish minutes while we waited for another group to leave and for the staff to bus the table. We finally got seated but we were a little annoyed at that point. It didn't help that we couldn't really hear each other without shouting. Shortly after we got seated, one of the chefs(?) came out with a starter of bread, oil, and cured meat on the house. That was very nice of them. For entrees we ordered the Berkshire pork rib and the Gab's burger. Both were absolutely EXCELLENT. If I were solely rating the food I'd be leaving five stars for sure. I thoroughly enjoyed my pork rib, to the point where I was going back to the ribs I'd already eaten to meticulously try to get as much meat as possible from the bones. The sauce was perfectly spicy, flavorful, and satisfying. The bits of kale were an excellent addition to the dish with a slightly charred, garlic-y flavor. And the portion size was really reasonable given the price point and the caliber of the restaurant. Also, no complaints about our server at the table. Overall we started out having a subpar experience but Gab's redeemed themselves with the incredible food and by comping an appetizer. I'd probably come back if they turned the music volume down. EDIT: Upon looking at the receipt, it turns out they charged us for the bread ($5) and cured meat ($24 finocchiona) which was supposed to be complimentary. I emailed them and they responded and refunded those items within an hour! It's their first week so there's bound to be some growing pains. I appreciate that they seem committed to folks having a good experience.

A delicious restaurant tucked away at the end of Carmine Street. We had the sourdough bread, chicken liver mousse, sasso chicken, halibut and pork chop. All of them were delicious, especially the pork chop. We weren't terribly bothered by the price point - it seemed on par with the typical West Village restaurant. Every table had fresh flowers from a local florist, which was a nice touch. Finally, the service was especially nice, which was greatly appreciated.

The food is thoughtfully curated, complex without being overdone, and sustainably sourced. Every dish we ordered was special and delicious starting with the simultaneously dense and light sourdough and proceeding to the flavorful celeriac dauphinoise, spatzle with comte and truffle, ribeye with sunchokes, and boozy Grand Marnier brioche dessert. The wine menu and cocktails are on point. Service is excellent. Atmosphere and design are intimate, modern, and playful. We will be back!

Food and drink is fabulous. Loved the vodka gin vesper drink. Fabulous. Kinda small drink though. Loved the monkfish croquettes. The tartare was okay. Not great. The burger was the best. Loved that mustard. Fries were okay. Service was very quick to clear your plates and food to the point it got annoying. Kinda bizarre how insistent they were on clearing us so quickly when there were so few people there.

Fun, tasty brunch food, a friendly staff and a cute little place to enjoy a meal makes this stylish little eatery five stars. We enjoyed their take on French toast and the pork hash with poached eggs was delicious. I don't post many reviews, but this place was a standout.

Probably will not come back. The food and drinks were good, but the service was tolerable. Didn't know that you have to order all food items at once (no additions were allowed later). The waitress kept pressuring our table to order more and I had to politely tell her we would be okay with what we originally had in mind. I didn't feel great throughout the experience because it almost made me feel apologizing for not ordering enough, and a dining experience should never impose this kind of feeling.

I'm embarrassed to say that I booked a reservation at Gab's after seeing Sarah Jessica Parker's IG post raving about the place. But good on SJP for supporting local businesses & good on Gab's for giving us an enjoyable dining experience The service was warm & welcoming. It was obvious the restaurant was dealing with an unusually crowded house and they were working very hard. They managed to remain pleasant and professional throughout. We shared the Kampachi Crudo to start and it was excellent. The steak was thin but the preparation and flavor was excellent, as was the poke darphin that accompanied it. The halibut was also tasty. Cocktails & wine were very good. We'll be back!

Glad to have made it here before too long...just opened a few weeks ago and wanted to try something a bit more electric for Valentines Day this year. I've heard / read great things and must say the experience did not disappoint--bright sounds (music, live poetry, eclectic crowd all surrounded by a gallery of art) and creative, thoughtful food. Drinks where refreshing and delicious (up with some of the top I've had in the city). Service was attentive and warm--we had to wait a few minutes to be seated and the bartender gave us a first round of tequila on the holiday which we appreciated. It is a bit difficult to hear at times due to the intimate setting, and there will be growing pains (part of our order slipped by and was put in a little later after we reminded our waitress), but it was the sort of authentic stimulation I was going for in date night. Would recommend.

Chef Nate's food nothing like during his tenure at MiMi. The environment was super loud, hard to have a conversation. The service was out of touch. Not in NYC speed nor manners. Won't recommend.

What a great new addition to the neighborhood! Came to try the truffle spaetzle and was not disappointed. Our server, Ash, was great and very cheerful- you could tell she enjoyed working there, which I could see why by the end of our meal. The uni tart was a cute bite, but will skip in the future. The celeriac dish was delicious and felt like it was prepared with lots of love. The spaetzle was a serious showstopper that I can't wait to return for, and also very reasonably priced. Everything about our experience was wonderful and I definitely recommend checking out this new gem. The Amaro Montenegro shots were also a very unique and fun way to end the meal.

Went to "Gabs" in the West Village a few days ago, and can't stop thinking about it. A wonderful, relaxed ambiance, with laughter and lively conversations in all corners. The walls are adorned with large, beautiful paintings, created by Gabby herself, and reason enough to sit and take it all in. The food was beyond excellent - exciting the taste buds and leaving you wanting to come back and savor every dish. The Monkfish Croquettes, Mussels Escabeche and Duck Confit we ordered were perfection, with sauces that danced on the tongue long after the last bite (honestly making me want to lick the plate). The staff was attentive to each table (and BUSY) and still made us feel like special guests. Gabby is genuine, warm and inviting, just like her restaurant. I'm already planning my next trip!

When we fist walked in the restaurant it had a fun atmosphere and the employees were very friendly. After waiting for an hour we finally finally got our food. Four of us had burgers and they were all raw. We let our server know and they agreed that they were raw. They took them back to cook them more. When they brought them back out they were on the same buns that were now soaked and red from the raw meet. The hostess came over to say that the cook was a Michelin chef and that he cooks the burgers medium rare and that if we wanted them cooked more we should have specified that to the waitress. We told her that the waitress never asked how we wanted them cooked and they were not medium rare they were completely red and raw. Three of us returned the burgers and they only took two of them off the bill. I would never recommend this restaurant.

I have not raved about a restaurant in NYC in a long time. Gab's is the real deal. Delicious, really, really fabulous food (I'm salivating just thinking about the chicken). Incredible (easy going) hospitality from the entire team (Danny Meyer would be jealous). A great, happy room. Loved the original artwork created by Gab. Attention to every detail in and out of the kitchen. A real standout from the owner, chef, cocktails (!!!!), and entire waitstaff. Congrats and thank you!

Blair B.

Gab's is more obsessed with creating a scene than creating a pleasant experience for their customers. The servers are rude and rushed, the volume is quite loud and makes it hard to hear, and the cocktails are subpar. The food is good enough, but nyc has enough good food elsewhere.
