Gather

Gather needs to up their game tremendously if they want to keep any kind of status in Berkeley. Food was mediocre at best and service was poor - waited a full hour for food to come. Even bathrooms were not clean, no toilet paper.

Excellent food, great service and a comfortable ambiance. You cannot go wrong for a wonderful experience and place to gather.

Minor mishap when ordering the pork chop and had a delay getting food but when the food came out everything was great. Management was excellent. This seems like a solid pizza, apps, and drinks place since that's what folks around us were getting. My sister and I will definitely come here again but stick to the pizza vibe.

We had a lovely lunch at Gather, sitting in the beautiful outdoor patio. The service was excellent. The restaurant is vegetarian-friendly--we ordered veggie burgers and pozole. One of the best veggie burgers I've ever had, and the pozole was also delicious. Also enjoyed a glass of red wine the bartender recommended. I actually use to dine at Gather 15 years ago and was happy to find the restaurant was still here and the quality was the same.

Outta towners here so we did not know much. Happy to have found Gather for the six of us. Empanadas & hard boiled eggs were delish. Hubby had pork chop & grits (seriously stepping out with grits!). I tried them and they were terrific. In fact I “tried them” is a bit of an understatement. One of us required gluten-free and the li'l pizza fit that bill and was very good. 😂 Service was phenomenal! Would love to repeat one day. Thanks for a nice experience.

Food was delicious. Our server was prompt and friendly. Good choices for my daughter whose vegetarian and my son who has celiac. Our server was knowledgeable about needing strict gluten free food that hadn't been contaminated. Ambiance was nice. We liked the lighting.

Went back here for a 3rd time this week, so excited for a delicious new spot to eat. Same group as always my wife, one year old and our dog. Was turned away because of the dog, while a couple behind me was allowed to go in with theirs because they said it was a service dog. Just lost my business.

The service was inconsistent, which was a quality reflected in the food. For example, the shishito peppers were fine but the short rib gnocchi were bland and almost inedible. We compared notes with neighboring tables and their experience was the same. Pizza and salad seem to be their best options, but you can find better value and selections for these elsewhere.

Nice patio.
Good food
And ok service

Lots of vegetarian options. Food portion is small after weighing in the quality and price so I'm only giving it 4 stars.

The food arrived fast and was delicious. Sadly, with a large group, they could only split it into 4 cards. This is hard when you have just met people at a conference and are sharing a meal. Overall I'd give it another try.

I had the best experience I have ever had with a server at Gather recently. Kewpie is absolutely incredible. Kewpie made the experience so enjoyable I am bringing my best friend back to Gather this weekend! Excellent food and over the top service!

I used to think that this place was very snooty and too fancy, but it's actually a very lovely chill sit down restaurant. The use fresh quality ingredients and the staff is very down to earth. The peach and corn salad was divine, I appreciate the options for gf, lactose free and vegan if you have dietary restrictions like I do due to medical reasons.

Let’s start that it took about half an hour to find parking. We entered and had to wait to check in for our reservation. I’d like to note that we could not get a reservation until 7:15 and when we got there the restaurant maybe had 5 tables filled. We sat and waited over 10 minutes actually past 7:30pm and still had not been acknowledged to even take a drink order.
The standard that is advertised online is not reflected in person. I was looking forward to my $50 farm to table ribeye but had to settle for the farm to grill N-N-Out burger.
