Press & Reviews
"At his new American gastropub Gus and Gabriel, chef Michael Psilakis reinvents diner classics with farm-fresh ingredients. For his version of an all-American salad ($7.95), he tops long crunchy hearts of romaine lettuce with smoky bacon, hard-boiled eggs, carrots, red onions, cheddar cheese, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red and green peppers, and croutons. In typical diner form, it comes with your choice of a housemade dressing, but with an option such as the "blue cheese and smoky roasted tomato emulsified with rendered bacon fat," making a decision should be easy."

"He may call it a gastropub, but what Psilakis has really done is open a kick-ass diner that doesn't serve breakfast."

Kefi basement reborn as trim, warm gastropub. New Michael Psilakis venture name checks his dad and his son, pulls for a familial vibe. Smart comfort food abounds, think chili dogs, fried chicken, potato skins. Barbecued pork butt great eating, try to order without excessive giggling. Craft beers on tap, hard stuff available by the flask. (Don't worry if you don't finish, they'll save it for your next visit. And you will be back.)
