Editorial review from Citysearch 9/29/2012

7 Gables is outstanding!! We have been following Alain for 20+ years and have NEVER had a disappointing meal, ever! Don't know where some people's taste buds are. Thank you Alain for the great food and service. more

East Atlanta Best Dinner Experience 9/15/2012

My Team and I have been coming to Conyers from Florida to compete at Horse Shows for about 11 years.We always go for dinner at this Gem of a restaurant.We go at least 3 times each show.We have tried many restaurants in the Buckhead area , midtown and Virginia Highland but our favorite remains Chef Alain and his Fabulous Seven Gables.My favorite dish is the Rack of lamb, rubbed with fresh garlic and rosemary then roasted and served with the best glazed carrots with a hint of orange ,roasted new red potatoes and french green beans at $22 for 5/6 chops(very reasonable) more

Editorial review from Citysearch 9/15/2012

As soon as we walked in, we were immediately greeted and seated at a lovely table by a wall of windows. Our drink orders were taken immediately (and came almost as quickly). Soon after drinks, a basket of warm rolls and mango butter arrived. (I know, mango butter sounds a little strange, but trust me, it is beyond delicious.) For an appetizer, we ordered the calamari. Very good. For entrees, my neighbor ordered the Seven Gables Chicken (a favorite of hers), while I shared the Chateaubriand Bouquetiere (for two) with the other. The b?arnaise was spectacular, the meat cooked to perfection and even the vegetables were served with just the right amount of seasoning and crispness. I'm not usually one to eat every last bite, but this time....I did. And I even managed to save room for dessert after hearing about the Creme Brulee....which I also ate every bite of. I feel that we're so lucky to have such a great, independent restaurant right in Conyers, and I definitely plan on returning. I can't wait to share the Chateaubriand with my husband -- I have a feeling that Seven Gables is going to become our ""special occasion"" go-to place. I must mention too -- that our service the entire night was top-notch. Our server was very attentive without being overbearing. The chef even came out and spoke to us about our meals. A+! Can't wait to return! more

Best Food in Conyers 11/6/2011

I had to write this review. I stumbled on some bad reviews. This is one of my favorite places to go in Atlanta. The rolls are home made (not as described in another review) served with fresh home made Mango Butter that is to die for!! All of the food is made fresh to order in the kitchen and not frozen mass produced chain restaurant food. I have memories of being in my grandmothers dining room. The deserts are wonderful. You have to save room for them. more

TERRIBLE!! 8/21/2011

I REALLY wanted to like this place.. it's close by, and we got a greate deal on it from groupon to give it a shot. The Evening started with being escorted in to a dark, dirty bar and being asked to wait for our table (we had reservations, and the place was half full). We were seated after 10 minutes, and sat there for 30 MINUTES before anyone brought us water / bread / wine. Then when they DID bring it the ""Home made fresh bread"" was stale old hamburger buns. We got our app - Crab raviolies, It was OK, but pretty obviously a mass-made frozen thing, The staff (Father / Daughter?) are very slow, and unfriendly. They claim to be fine dining, but you definitely get none of that, from the food OR the service. I got the Rack of lamb (4 lamb lollypops, with zero seasoning, no crust on the outside, and a canned brown gravy. Horrid. I didnt even eat it. Luckly my wife shared hers, which was much better, The Pheasant in phyllo dough - Loved that dish. Finished up with a slice of store-bought cheesecake that was just so-so. Luckily we got this meal on a groupon, and only paid $20 for it. If we had paid the full price (which would have been $100 with Tip), I would have been upset. This place is a step DOWN from chili's applbee's quality, but think that they are serving michelin star food. I WOULD go back for the pheasant dish alone.. That really was good.. Otherwise there is no reason to go there. 1 star for the Pheasant i guess. Maybe with another killer groupon we would go give them another chance! more

Fine Food in Comfortable Setting 5/14/2011

We have been to Seven Gables many times and different days of the week. Food and service is always exceptional. Setting is relaxed. The owner was very helpful in pairing wine with our main course selections. The restaurant is small and not a chain. Comfortable and inviting. Worth a try. more

The prices are very reasonable by comparison to similar restaurants in Buckhead.Great Value with entree prices starting at $11. We are always greeted with warmth and friendliness.The owners always stop by the table for a warm welcome,the service is prompt and professional. It was about time I write my first review. I am posting this on Facebook to share this great find with all my friends.. more

Overpriced and overimportant 3/9/2009

The food isn't always horrible. That's the best thing I can say about 7 Gables. Some dishes are good, some are bad. Sometimes, the same dish can vary wildly in quality and taste from one visit to the next. The prices are extremely high for the lower levels of quality and service. In the past (10 or more years ago), the food quality was consistently good, even if it was still pricey. The facility does have a run-down and dated appearance. Pros: Parking is easy Cons: Price, Quality/taste of food more

Delicious!! 4/4/2008

After reading the last review on this restaurant, I must say, I strongly disagree. I have been there on several diferent occasions, all of which pleased me greatly. My first visit was on my husband's and my anniversary, and it has a fantastic romantic ambience. I ordered the roast lamb chops, which was $30. I have traveled to Paris and London and never have I tasted lamb chops as scrumptious as the one served there. Ordered medium, the meat just fell off the bone (very tender) and had just the right garlic flavor with a hint of rosemary. It was served on top of a lovely brown sauce that complimented it well. It had no mint flavor to it, and I can not see as to how one might interpret it as being that way. My husband ordered the dover sole. It was de-boned right at our table. It's exterior had a crisp golden brown, buttery texture while the inside just steamed when I put my fork into it. What a delectable treat that was! For desert, me and my husband split a creme brulee, which was about the best thing I have ever tasted in my life. My second visit was for a friend of mine's baby shower. We were served a buffet dinner where the choices were Italian Sausage, Keylime Chicken, Tilapia, and Prime Rib. The grilled Italian Sausage was phenomenal! Although I am not a big steak eater, several of my friends stated upon how exceptional the Prime Rib was. I tried the Keylime Chicken and Tilapia both. The Keylime Chicken had a very unique taste and I have never tasted anything quite like it in my life. I presume it is my favorite dish served at the restaurant. Tilapia was outstanding as well. I have not one negative thing so say about this restaurant. It is my favorite, but with my busy schedule, I often don't have time to go as much as I would like too. Pros: Everything Cons: I have visited on Valentine's Day, and unless you have a reservations, there can be a bit of a wait. more

Overpriced and Outdated 2/14/2008

I usually do not write a review unless I've been somewhere several times, but felt compelled after only one visit to Seven Gables. The restaurant looks like it was decorated by my mother in 1970. The chairs felt like they were last re-sprung about the same time. The menu looked quite promising, though a bit pricey. Pros: Historically interesting to anyone into the 70's Cons: Overpriced, less than expected food more

Overpriced and Outdated 2/13/2008

I usually do not write a review unless I've been somewhere several times, but felt compelled after only one visit to Seven Gables. The restaurant looks like it was decorated by my mother in 1970. The chairs felt like they were last re-sprung about the same time. The menu looked quite promising, though a bit pricey. During my one visit, the 'handmade' Italian sausage was not bad, very spicy and tasted like it had been gilled on an old, hot grill. Serving size was very small, and 'grilled onion' and green pepper, though tasty, were in short supply and had simply been tossed on the grill for a moment as well. Clam Chowder tasted more like a bisque, also not bad but a very small bowl for the price. Lamb chops ($35) were fatty and had a terribly 'lamby' taste. They were served with a scant amount of what seemed to be a slightly minty, slightly jellied version of cheap canned brown gravy. Ribeye Steak Diane ($25) was a poor cut of industrial looking beef, fatty, overcooked, served cool, and covered with a very decent mushroom and peppercorn sauce that seemed to be there not only to provide some flavor to the otherwise lacking meat, but also to cover up the many thick streaks of fat in the meat. Both entrees were served with a small, quartered roasted potato that was dry, a few slices of carrot cooked with sugar, and a few green beans. All were nearly room temperature. Bread was marginally warmed 'Sams Club', and not even their good stuff. Total without drinks or dessert was about $100 for a marginal meal. The menu and prices are on a scale with Cafe Lily in Decatur, or Petite Auberge at Toco Hills, or City Cafe in Fayeteville, but the food quality not even close. In Conyers, Red Tomato is a MUCH better choice. Alternatives would be I Love Sushi for great sushi, or even Jim and Nicks for good, simpler foods. Pros: Historically interesting to anyone into the 70's Cons: Overpriced, less than expected food more
