The Gables at Chadds Ford is one of the region’s most romantic dining backdrops. The Gables is situated on land that was originally part of a 138 acre land grant from William Penn to Brinton King. Around 1745, a pre-Revolutionary style house was built on the property. This was one of the first homes to be built in Pennsbury Township.

Two of the four original chimneys from the pre-Revolutionary style home are still visible. In March of 2002, the house was placed on the National Historic Register.

In addition to their regular dinner menu, The Gables will be offering specials on Valentine’s Day that include pan roasted halibut, braised beef short ribs and a dark chocolate mousse.
