Gabriel's Restaurant   

Gabriel's Restaurant, now open for over 13 years, serves French and Italian cuisine in an elegant dining room of white linen, mahogany, and etched glass. A European-style open kitchen puts chefs in full view of on looking diners who are treated to a nightly performance of culinary artistry. Meanwhile an experienced wait staff stands ready to offer the finest in traditional Continental service. Gabriel's is located at 310 Greenbay Rd. in Highwood and is open for dinner at 5:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. You don't need to be a gourmand to appreciate Gabriel's French-Italian fare, which forgoes fussy ingredients in favor of familiar, comforting flavors and presentations. Daubed with zesty grainy mustard, cold steamed artichoke leaves fan out on a plate--delicate, delicious finger food. One excellent pasta pairs twists of gemelli with a fresh, flavorful mix of green beans, sun-dried tomato, pine nuts and pesto.
