Beautifully prepared food, attentive service. What else you can look for from a restaurant. During our recent US trip this was our big dinner and the restaurant didn't disappoint. Food was exquisite, taste was perfectly balanced. We opted for the less pricey heritage menu and by the time deserts arrived we were full. As expected from a restaurant of this type, wine list was extensive. The staff were efficient and knowledgeable about the food they were serving. Overall highly recommended.Thank you Teertha, for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback about your experience at Gabriel Kreuther. We are truly happy to hear you enjoyed dining with us and look forward to welcoming you when you're back in town!Kind Regards,Anna [email protected]

We were staying in the area and went here for a low-key dinner. We took the server's suggestions and weren't disappointed! The drinks were good and the chips/salsa were really tasty. But beware: our eyes were much bigger than our stomachs and we couldn't eat it all. Because the service is really fast, I'd suggest you under-order for the first round and then get some tacos and such later if you're still hungry. The portions are pretty filling.
