These are three big weekends 'down the shore' that brings many tourists to the area.
The restaurant will have paintings and drawings from some of the areas most notable new artists. Once a month the lounge will feature a new artist and their work. This will give the art community an opportunity to show their work in a friendly and exciting atmosphere. We will send out special invitations for the opening night and attract many people and newspapers. The showing will only take place in the lounge so we can still seat people in the restaurant.
Every Monday night (most bars and restaurants are closed in Monmouth County on Mondays) we will have 'Restaurant Night.' This will give the other restaurant owners and employees a chance to socialize on a 'night off' and it will contribute to a sense of community in the local industry.
We will have special Wine Tasting Evenings, a five course meal featuring new wines sponsored by our distributors. Customers can come and learn more about wine and food! Other special evenings at Gabri's are Easter dinner, Swedish Midsummer, our famous Smörgåsbord, Fourth of July celebrations, Labor Day weekend and Christmas dinners.
Gabri's Lounge and Restaurant will be the perfect place when customers need that 'little extra.' They can have business meetings here, a place for a quiet conversation, or for a special occasion. We will make up special hors d'oeuvre platters or full course meals for customers' special occasions.
