What nerve. Seating is packed in like sardines.Service was fair to slow. An average piece of fish for $25 and a small Caesar salad for $9. The table next to us had two meals that were cold and had to be returned for reheating. The broccoli and cheese soup was the only high pint of the meal. The bill for two was $150. We could have eaten at the Top of the Hub, or even at the Outback for a better meal for half the money. Don't go. They seem very impressed with themseves.

Walking into Gaven's we sensed that we were stepping into a very nice restaurant and were looking forward to a nice dining experience and delicious meal. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and led to a lovely reserved candlelit table. In fact, our initial impressions were extremely positive. However, It didn't take long before we were feeling a mild sense of foreboding. Our server was stiff and unwelcoming. She interrupted and rushed us. While taking our order she informed us that side dishes were served "family style" which justified the $8-10 cost. Our party of four ordered 3 sides and each fed only 2 people. Our $30 entrees arrived and there were no interesting flavors on our plates, since our food was so salty. Lastly, we all found the wooden dining chairs to be uncomfortable.

We Went to Gavens with 2 couples. we were all disappointed with the steaks and snobby,degrading waiter. Our bill came to $175.00 per couple and we could have eaten at so many nice restaurants in the area for a lot less with better quality food.

Gavens in Middleton is like walking into a restaurant in Boston's Back Bay. The food is spectacular and atmosphere is elegant. The food is a bit over-priced, but you won't be sorry here. It's a great place to...

4.0 of 5 stars.
The ONLY reason I'm giving this place four stars is because of how much my boyfriend and his father absolutely loved their steaks. My boyfriend's mom and I both ordered the lobster and crab risotto,...

Don't listen to the bad reviews. Gaven's is on the same level as Capital Grille, Abe & Louies and Flemmings, but you don't have to drive into Boston and pay valet parking. The serivce is outstanding. I highly...

The cuisine was masterful. Textures and flavors melded intricately, yet effortlessly, and aroused my palate. My senses were heightened by the ever increasing heat produced from the deft blend of spice... which...

I been to Gavens several times with clients and also for our corporate christmas party. The steaks are the best but stay away from the Sole. It is a stuffed sole wrapped in baby asparagus. Sounds fancy but it...

Food here is great, especially the steaks however that does not make up for the awful service (rude and slow) and it is not just with the staff, the owner himself is rude and not at all hospitable even though...

I eat out very often with clients, often at many of the great Boston Steak Houses...I live minutes away from Gaven's on Route 114. Although I have been there 4-5 times and had great meals, I always feel...

The host said "can i help you"? in a condescending way upon entry. instead of the requisite "good evening, how are you?" Reservation only that night. Since there's basically nothing around for miles we decided...

We were seated and waited over ONE HOUR for our Salads to arrive! Other tables were getting normal service. Our waiter said "it'll be few more minutes". I informed the Hostess this was NOT good for us and she...

I've been to Morton's, Capital Grille, Abe and Louie's, Grill 23 and many other great steak places and Gaven's certainly IS in their category. Although a bit pricey for Middleton, the food and service are...

Gavens has the freshest and most delicious cuts of meat, especially their beef, that can be had anywhere in the area. Their potatoes au gratin are to dye for as are their escargot and irresistable breads. They...
