From Family Roots to Local Landmark
Gabriel’s journey in hospitality began early, working alongside his parents in their Sun City cafés. “I fell into this business by default,” he recalls, reflecting on how their ventures expanded across medical buildings and even a bowling alley. He saw firsthand the devotion required. especially when his parents ran a café open seven days a week. When the opportunity arose in 2010 to take over a restaurant on a Peoria golf course, Gabriel embraced it—and never looked back. His dedication shines through in every aspect of The Links. Gabriel’s early years without the ties of a family allowed him to pour his heart into the restaurant, focusing relentlessly on consistent quality and building a dependable team. That perseverance continues to define the business to this day.
