Gabe's Diner

I went for the braised steak sandwich, and while the combination of sweet fried onions, creamy mushrooms, and tender, juicy steak was spot on, the ciabatta was sadly soggy from all the sauce. I yearned for a crispy crunch with each bite. 🥪🤔 On the bright side, the sandwich was meatier than a Highland cow, and the service was as warm and welcoming as a cozy fireplace on a cold Scottish night. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️ The only hiccup was the price, which felt a wee bit steeper than some other bistro options in the area. 💷💼 Now, for dessert, I indulged in a heavenly slice of pumpkin pie adorned with toasted almonds, an orange caramel drizzle, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was like a sweet symphony for the taste buds, a delightful ending to the meal. 🥧🍨 In all, a lovely bistro experience, despite the minor ciabatta hiccup. If you're not penny-pinching, the dessert alone is worth the visit. 👌

Stopped in while car was charging and couldn’t have been happier. Staff was great, and the food was better! Chorizo bangers and mash with super creamy potatoes. Topped with the sausage, onions and gravy was outstanding. The Thai steak sandwich had a great flavor and came with crispy chips and was also excellent. Finished off the meal with a piece of carrot cake, which was moist and also had great flavor. Plenty of parking as it sits in a parking lot, inside all those small with the fireplace was very cozy and welcoming. I highly recommend.

Decided to go in as the diner is directly behind the EV charge points and was greeted with friendly staff, cute small diner ordered the breakfast tortilla with cheese (extra cost) and a latte. Bothe the coffee and the food was amazing! I asked twice for the recipe for the tortilla haha it was really that good.

Recently visited Gabe’s for an evening meal with my partner. The restaurant has a very cosy feel and we had a lovely relaxed time here. We thoroughly enjoyed our food (I must highlight the vegan pancakes which were amazing 😄) and could tell it was prepared with high quality, fresh ingredients. Service was great, very friendly and welcoming. Could not recommend high enough.

Fresh, tasty food with good choice on the menu. Fast service. Reasonably priced for decent portion sizes. However, the menu could do with changing more often and you do leave the restaurant smelling like cooking - not sure if there is a fix for this given the building design though. Just something to be wary of.

Went during our trip to Scotland with the family, including our 16 month old daughter. We were treated like royalty! The food was exactly what we wanted; good portions, great presentation, and the taste... delicious across the board! We all ate until we were full, then kept going. Our server, Emma, was great! Loved her every turn of phrase, and she made our daughter smile. 10/10, would go again.

The smell of the log fire caught my attention, and we followed it. The staff are awesome! My dog was made welcome and was brought a fresh bowl of water. The food was delicious! The coffee was really creamy. I ordered three for myself, two while eating and one for the road. I was visiting the area from Livingston, but I'll definitely come visit again, and if I know anyone who's going to Sterling I will highly recommend this place. The music volume was just right, and the ambiance was cosy. Thank you for a very pleasant experience. My son and his partner also thoroughly enjoyed their order from the menu, which has an impressive varied selection, all of which sounds tasty! 10/10
