$15 Frozen hamburger patty and it was cold when it finally arrived an hour plus after ordering.

Very disappointing. Will not return.

Gastro at 23rd is a small, yet inviting establishment offering a unique dining experience with a great atmosphere and friendly service from staff. The menu features tasty options like crazy Asian wings, burgers, sweet potato fries with phenomenal dipping sauce, and standout dishes like the grilled chicken with Brussels sprouts and mac and cheese. The chef clearly puts love into their cooking, resulting in exceptional meals, including the best mac and cheese in the area.
Guests also enjoy plant-based options like cauliflower wings and salmon salad, along with hearty sandwiches such as the BLT and Turkey Club. The portions are plentiful, and the homemade chips are popular. The food is excellent for both dine-in and takeout, with dishes like the herb shrimp appetizer and Nashville hot chicken sandwich receiving praise. The interior is clean and comfortable, with a cool vibe, and the prices are very reasonable. The staff, especially server Bre, are attentive and skilled, making sure needs are met without being overbearing.
While the wings are generally good, they can be a bit too salty, and their flavors like lemon pepper or Old Bay are sometimes not very noticeable, suggesting they could benefit from some adjustments. The drinks, including mermaid water, lemon drop, mango margarita, and strawberry margarita, are excellent choices. The cauliflower bites and fried salmon bites are also enjoyable, with a pleasant level of spice on the cauliflower.
Despite some issues with service related to ADA and service dog questions, the overall experience highlights Gastro at 23rd as a great spot for a tasty meal and a relaxed atmosphere, with easy parking and wheelchair accessibility. It remains a place worth visiting to enjoy good food and a welcoming environment.
