A local friend took me here, and I am glad we made this choice. This is a little restaurant & deli just east of Cedar Point on Hwy 6. It has a great European look to it making it unlike everything else. I liked the uniqueness and local flavor. The weather was terrible, so we were just about the only... More

After reading mixed reviews on several sites I wasn't sure what to expect, but the Groupon made it a good risk to take and I'm glad I did. If you're part of the Applebee's crowd and expect fast pace and a "hip" atmosphere, this isn't the place for you. It's laid back, relaxed, and intimate. The dining room isn't very... More

We were introduced to Red Gables through a Groupon, and I'm certain we will return. We had buffalo strip loin and rack of lamb. Both were very tasty and perfectly prepared, salads were fresh, atmosphere was quiet and charming. Nice hidden gem in Sandusky.

We have had dinner at Red Gables a few times and have NEVER been disappointed with the food. I always order a rib eye steak. They have the absolute best beef I have ever had. I also ordered a sweet potato which was moist and tender and very tasty. They serve warm, fresh baked bread with real butter. The garden... More

We have been loyal patrons since 2006. I stumbled across this gem planning a couples birthday weekend in Sandusky for my boyfriend. We live in Cleveland which is about 80 miles east from Sandusky. The main intent of the trip was to go to Cedar Point Amusement Park. I booked a hotel room and decided to look for a steakhouse... More

Sorry about your experience Oranges 13, you should have at least had the food before you complained about the steak size. They do offer a NY strip that is 12 oz. and Monte Cristo that is five or six ounces. I'm not a Pork chop person;however, they have the finest chops that I have ever tasted. The service was Excellent... More

Usually when an establishment expects you to pay upwards of $30 for a plate they post the menu outside. This is not the case. Not only does it look like a dump from the outside, the reception we received on the inside was pretty bad. It took about 7 minutes for us to get seated which consisted of a small... More

If you are looking for top quality seafood and steak, this cozy brick restaurant offers a varied menu in a cozy bistro style setting is just the ticket. Excellent service and my hubby said his filet mignon was literally "the best ever" and he travels the country for business and dines in the finest restaurants. Also ordered were delicious oysters...

As noted in other reviews, the outside of the restaurant is deceiving. The food is better than average, but this is certainly not fine dining. They did accommodate our vegetarian request and therefore if you are looking for a decent meal, this isn't a bad place to try.
