Gather

Great, fresh, delicious food. Nice ambience There was no espresso or latte available for dessert. Noise level was high.

Quite an eclectic menu of imaginative, well-designed food choices. Plus an extensive set of beverage offerings. I opted for the bean/beet "fritter" (more like a thick meaty slice of "meat"loaf), sitting on flavorful romesco sauce with an egg layer cooked to order, and dexoratwd with colorful ribbons of carrot shavings. Gorgeous and delicious! Informed and friendly wait service. We sat in the "outdoor" sheltered, roofed, & heated area full of plants. Very nice.

Wonderful place and ambiance for decades. It's nice to have the choice to eat inside our outside.

We had a very pleasant lunch with great service, good food and nice comfortable outdoor seating.

Food was great as usual but even though we sat down at 7, it was clear they were trying to move everyone out of there. My silverware was cleared when I still had half of my entree to finish. Felt very rushed and that we were an inconvenience to them even though there was still 45 minutes before they closed at 8:30

It's a nice vibe for sure, but the service and food weren't great this time, on our third visit. Our server was attentive, but impersonal so we kind of just felt like a number. The crudo was great, but that's just raw fish so it's hard to mess up. The focaccia was also great, but is so overpriced for what you get and the gnocchi with beef short rib ragu was good but the gnocchi were tiny and completely lost in the delicious ragu. We got the sundae for dessert and there was virtually no pecans, bourbon or chocolate sauce, so that was a complete waste of money. Bummer!

Friendly waitpeople, pleasant surroundings with interesting light fixtures and plants, food good but not extraordinary, not hideously expensive.

Mediocre taste - and overpriced to boot. Waitress was so inattentive for so long that we asked a waiter to order. While he was nice, I would rate the overall service experience as poor especially given the price.

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.

Enjoyable experience for business meal. Out-of-country collègues especially enjoyed the menu options as well as the restaurant ambiance. Will be dining here again!

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.
