The patio is the best reason to come here and for locals, the convenience. The food, like any other Gabby's is okay, but nothing really exciting. The vegetarian options could use some work.
I find during days in the summer, the staff is awesome, friendly and attentive. Late night, on a weekend though, the situation is much different. You will wait and wait, just for a drink order. And, if you go to the basement to order a drink at the bar, expect a 5 minute wait to pay while your serve chats up the Sherbourne Street locals.
