Never fails for a delicious brunch. Make a reservation!

Lovely warm feel and delicious American fare. Liked the peach and corn salad recently and pizzas (vegan, gf, and all) are dependably tasty and crusty.

Food was ok at best; nothing special; was expecting better food for Berkeley wholesome food. Got the breakfast pizza which was bad choice; nothing special no flavor. Burger was ok nothing special.

The pizza here is amazing! The deserts are amazing. The IPA was good for can beer. Highly recommended. Nice vibe here too.

The pizza dough is so so good. You can smell it when you walk in the door. The October pizza was tasty, a bit too much honey I think but tasty nonetheless. The dough made up for it! Can’t go wrong with a pepperoni or another classic they have.

Great drinks, good food, but a bit over priced for what it was. Nice romantic atmosphere and great service. Their garden patio is so lovely. Parking is really tough around there so taking the Bart might be helpful, as it's just a block away.

I've been looking forward to this place as I've heard good things and was eager to try it once I get a chance to go out without kids. Unfortunately they fit right in the trend of the Bay Area restaurants where the food quality has gone down after the covid and with it, the service. The waitress didn't seem to care to provide us with a nice experience, our wines were swapped and her eyes almost rolled a couple of times and the food was just overcooked and just ok for the price. I understand that being right by the campus the younger generations drive the clientele statistics, and come for pizza, thus they don't care about a good dining experience, but the list of exciting places worth going to, on a night when you're finally able to get a childcare, is very short in the East Bay. For us older ones coming from the grand times of dining in the Bay Area when eating out was fun and enjoyable and exciting, and the servers had to be professional and friendly to earn their 20%, those days are over.

Gather always pleases. We stopped in before the theater performance & had a fabulous pizza & salad, and, of course, a cocktail. Service is friendly & efficient, restaurant is airy (has outside seating and comfortable inside seating.) We'll become regulars.

We had a great dining experience at Gather. We decided to try it out before a show at the Greek Theater. It was an easy walk to the venue after eating. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent! I ordered a corn chowder and salad. Both were delicious. My companions ordered a burger, pizza and caesar salad. All were delictious. We all agreed that we would happily return to Gather.

Aw man ... Came here years ago and loved the place, but my recent visit was meh. The food was tasty but overpriced: portions were small and the dishes were nothing so out of the ordinary to distinguish this restaurant from other places like True Foods Kitchen with better portions/price ratio.
I ordered a steak medium rare and got medium well-almost done. When I was asked by the server how everything was, I decided to be honest about the steak's doneness and she was very apologetic and offered to get me a new steak. I declined (don't want to waste food). So at least the service was fine.

Highly recommend for food and ambiance. Wonderful live bluegrass band really added to our birthday brunch celebration. Food was clever and excellent. I really enjoyed the chickpea patty with eggs and my cappucino was excellent. Only wish you could offer more dessert options! Already planning a return visit to have the pizza. We did not order but saw many tables ordered the pizzas and they looked wonderful.

Hi, I had to change my reservation to a later time and asked for a table outside and we were accommodated! It was lovely. I really love the decor and the vibe of this restaurant. The twinkly lights outside are great. My summer cocktail was good. I also really enjoyed our summer salad of tomatoes, corn, cucumber and mozzarella with edamame - the dressing was just delicious. The meatballs were yummy, but the sauce was too spicy. We also had the long beans which were good that came with a yellow paste of some sort and a red Chermoula which was also spicy, but good. We got the broccoli pizza which had a good crust, but a really bitter aftertaste. Our server, who was training someone (she was lovely), the hostess and others were really kind. One woman who came to our table a few times was not great, short with us and not so friendly, but everyone else was super nice.
