(is it still great despite the chef change?) Wed Nov 24 09:56:41 -0800 2004 0 anj 1 803317 Gargoyle's is our standard drinks and dinner place -- it's actually a destination place for us since we live ~ 30 mins away. We've been multiple times since the chef change and haven't noticed any real differences. We DO tend to stick to the bar area especially since most nights (not on weekends, I think) you have the option of ordering off of both the bar and the regular menu out there.

They did an amazing renovation -the space is beautiful and we loved the ambience. The flavor of the food was fantastic also. They offer "small plates" which are more or less the size of an appetizer. We tried the beef short ribs, margarita pizza, lobster risotto, Italian waldorf, and the pork. We were impressed with the wine list -they had many by the glass and reasonably priced. We tried the sweet sherry for dessert with the cookie plate. My girlfriend wants to go back to check out the martini list. We definitely recommend it. Sat Nov 27 20:03:12 -0800 2004 803313 0 Kevin
