The Gabardine is a ten out of ten - it checks every box:
Great, bustling atmosphere
Fantastic food (fried beer cheese OMG)
Friendly & attentive service
Did I mention the food!? I would order anything off the menu, all looks super appetizing & huge servings also.
Some places don't live up to the hype, but some do!
Enjoy!
Ps. reservations are a must (at least for dinner)
