Classy vibes here and great live music if you enjoy singer songwriter style pop, jazz, and yacht rock. I loved seeing Clemon Charles performance on xmas eve. The food is excellent, a little pricey but worth it. Staff is attentive and it's a good place to socialize or go alone if you just want to get out for the evening. They have a calendar of events online where you can see the musicians and performance dates đ¶

Visited The Gate on Christmas Eve for Grandmaâs birthday (party of 8). $90 fixed menu + 23% auto gratuity.
Waitresses were wonderfully kind, attentive, and did their absolute best to help.
Unfortunately, food fell short: medium ribeyes arrived bloody/red instead of lightly pink like we were told they would be, medium-rare was raw (still mooing), risotto undercooked and crunchy, chicken dry, halibut average, red velvet cake hard/stale. Brie starter and salad were fine.
Staff only comped one meal despite widespread issues. Kitchen execution was extremely poor for the priceâespecially spending over $700 on improperly cooked dinner. 1/5 stars.

I was excited about trying The Gate Restaurant and was expecting an enjoyable lunch. The hotel and restaurant are beautiful. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. I ordered the quiche of the day. It came with a side salad and fresh fruit. It took some time for our food to arrive but we were in no rush. It looked delicious when it arrived, the slice of quiche was a generous one. My salad greens were old and slimy, as was the fruit. The quiche was not fully cooked and had a runny center. I ate around the edges and it was very bland. It was a very disappointing lunch.

The hotel and spa are great! The restaurant is NOT. Started off our visit with a happy hour Paloma. The blanco tequila they used made the cocktail taste like dirty dish water. Thankfully, the bartender observed I didnât care for my drink and offered me something else. She said the tequila is âsmokyâ and reminds people of cigarettes. She said a lot of people donât care for it. If you get that much poor feedback on the drink, then why is it on the menu? Had dinner there later that evening. It wasnât much better than a diner. Definitely not fine dining. We ordered spare ribs with pineapple slaw. Not a piece of pineapple in sight. The slaw was pre shredded bagged cold slaw mix and they added pineapple juice to the dressing. The Caesar we ordered had good dressing but the lettuce was pale and croutons were bland. Not a hint of golden from roasting them, no herbs. Iâm guessing those came from a box or someone just cut up toasted bread. I ordered bucatini Cajun shrimp pasta with andouille. It was more like a Cajun bouillabaisse. My pasta was swimming in the tomato broth then smothered in green onions. I would say a 1/4 cup worth of green onions. The steak and frites was not much better. Fries were frozen. Steak was cooked okay but portion was small and the salad it came with was barely dressed. This restaurant should reflect the hotel and it does not. Or make it clear itâs a casual dining experience and not try and be something itâs not. And can someone please explain marking to the servers? Rib bones shouldnât be left on the table with used silverware for the whole meal. We will definitely be back to the hotel and spa but will be going somewhere else for dinner.

Great place for lunch, too many flues which is why I didn't give it 5 on atmosphere but staff is nice, quick & accommodating. I just prefer my swarm of flies outside, but with people coming in & out, its expected. Its not too bad, but its bothersome, not sure how they'd fix that issue. I would def recommend it here. Mariachi Mondays starts the 16th of June. There's also a pool here so you can buy a pass and enjoy outside dining while watching the kids.

I canât say enough nice things about this hotel. I live about 5 minutes away and go to the spa and the restaurant all the time. But at 2am when my heater went out. They didnât even bat an eye to get my husband and I and our two young children into a cozy room. Thank you đ

Bought three breakfast sandwiches with bacon cooked to perfection. Just a little pricey but definitely worth it
This isn't the first time I've waited so long for someone to greet me at the podium, that i actually end up leaving. Customer service is sad these days.

The hotel is lovely, the pool is nice. The restaurant on site really needs a helping hand however. The food is mediocre at best and the staff while friendly is definitely not working at a typical restaurant pace. The prices do not match the quality/taste service.
