    I was disappointed to find that neither the mussels nor the tuna were available last Friday evening although they were both advertised on the menu. I compromised with the Fish and Chips, which was tasty but not my first choice. My two dining companions ordered the night’s special, a beef ragu, and both found the meat a bit chewy. We like the ambience in The Gables but food wise our dining experience could have been better.
