Dining at The Gables Reserve a Table


Wear designer socks when dining at The Gables, our Beach Haven, NJ restaurant. They may well be knocked off by the imaginative seasonal fare at our 2007-08 Zagat rated 26 "exceptional to perfection" restaurant.

A bastion of old-world hospitality, the meticulously restored Gables Inn offers truly fine dining in New Jersey with breakfast, dinner, and Sunday Brunch. The restaurant proper, the original large dining room in this century-old house, provides a delightful setting with its candle-lit tables, wood burning fireplace, crystal chandelier and original wide plank floors. Tables are also set on the shady porch and in the enchanting Victorian garden courtyard, which features a sparkling fountain and a wealth of flowers.

This historic Victorian Jersey Shore inn is open nightly for dinner during the summer season, and every weekend during the fall and spring. We also host memorable private parties and weddings in this most romantic of settings.

Dining at The Gables
For a dining experience that is an exercise in the sensuous, the savory and the sweet, look no further than The Gables, a romantic restaurant in Beach Haven, New Jersey. Regardless of whether you choose the Prix Fixe Tasting Menu, or dine a la carte, candlelit dining at The Gables Inn and Restaurant makes any day a special occasion.

Meals are brilliantly orchestrated by our Chef, Richard Diemer. Every dish manages to wow, comfort and excite. Presentations are lovely without being pretentious.

Menus change daily; culinary inspiration is drawn from whatever impeccably fresh ingredients are at their best that morning. Produce from local New Jersey farms, micro greens from Blue Moon Acres, Buckingham, Pennsylvania, Niman Ranch organic meats, D’Artagnan organic poultry, fresh diver scallops from Long Beach Island’s surrounding waters, Prince Edward Island mussels, and lobsters exclusively from Maine, take pride of place. We also take pleasure in presenting a selection of award-winning wines from NJ’s Bellview Winery to enhance your enjoyment.
