Gather

The food and vibe from Gather were amazing! My espresso ☕ martini was 👌🏾. I will come back for weekend brunch with my good friend too. I recommend making your reservation if you're going to do a weekend brunch. I highly recommend it. The place is very cute!

The lobster gnocchi was amazing. There could've been more lobster (at least 4 claws worth) than gnocchi in my bowl which left me very satisfied. The gnocchi was also soft pillows of happiness, cooked perfect. Also had great service which is hard to come by. My cocktail was also refreshing and not weak. I'll definitely be back to try more.

First experience of Boston set the bar HIGH. A beautiful day, a great view from the outside seating area, and the food was so, so incredible. You know the food is good when a party of 8 goes absolutely silent once they start eating! Pictured is the falafel naanwich, and it exceeded my expectations by FAR; and I definitely recommend upgrading to the truffle fries. Pricing is fair for the quality and portion; we struggled to finish everything! Our server Luke, though the restaurant was busy (lunch rush!), was well attentive and handled requests quickly, especially for such a large party. I can easily recommend Gather to anyone visiting the area.

The place by itself is lovely. It has nice decoration inside the restaurant. It has ceiling lamps that look like stars in the sky. The service was good, our waiter was nice and she always checked on my friend and me. The food tasted good. We ordered: Native Oysters, Truffle Fries, Tuna Tartare, Bacon Wrapped Scallops, and Fried Bread Pudding for dessert. I cannot give this place 5 stars for overpriced Bacon Wrapped Scallops. There were only three scallops and I did not like the bacon that they used to wrap them. Other than that food was good. We ordered drinks and they were tasty and refreshing.

Very disappointed. I searched online for Gather and saw so many great reviews. However, when my party of 4 arrived, they wanted us to sit inside. We wanted outdoor seating, and the hostesses stated that there would be a 30m wait. We left our number for the wait, as we were exiting we saw 2 tables leaving out along with another empty table. I went back inside to speak with the hostesses to let her know there were empty tables she stated no, there was a 30m wait. I left again and waited outside. To see those tables sitting empty for a little over 15m. At this point, we decided to leave because it felt as if they didn't want to serve us. The hostesses didn't even check to see that there were tables empty outside. Once we decided to leave maybe another 15-20m later, we got the text that a table was available. This was after we spoke with someone outside to complain, and he insisted on letting the hostesses know that we were leaving. I'm not sure if it was discrimination or stupidity, either one I won't be back to find out.

A good location for a nice restaurant, but the food and service were both pretty average for me. The omelette comes with artichokes and gruyere cheese... both ingredients that overpower the flavor of the dish. They don’t have Nutella as a waffle topping, which didn’t make members of my party too happy. The other guests enjoyed their dishes, but I thought it was exactly average. Especially for vegetarians...

I loved it here ! Our waitress was awesome , I forgot her name but she Was delightful and very attentive , we sat outside which was awesome and they accommodate us very quickly. We order the mimosa tower which was delicious and the food had Huevos rancheros and they were Very tasty!! I def recommend for a girls brunch or Ron just have a nice relaxing time. It is kinda pricey but you get what you pay for . Def coming again.

Amazing place with great vibe, good food and service. They have patio and indoor area for seating. Great ambience with mood lighting and comfort seating, Theyake arrangements for big groups. Food was really good with good taste and presentation. A definite recommendation for anyone local or visiting the city! Fan Pier park is close by which has great view of the city!

We were glad to find this place in the seaport area of Boston as we were exploring the area. The menu had a lot of choices and we sampled with a beer salad and split a burger. Both were freshly made and good quality. The location is cool with an artsy exhibit space attached. The staff were friendly and efficient. I would return

First visit here, and I'd like to eventually go back. Sean (or is it spelled Shawn?) was our bartender for the evening and he definitely gave us a five star experience. He was chill, funny, and courteous. He knows how to make a good looking mocktail and to bring you out of your shell! I enjoyed the food here, though I hadn't asked what was made in-house/from scratch, if anything really was (e.g. the fries, if they used precut/pre-shaped chicken vs. whole chickens washed, cut, seasoned etc. in the kitchen). I had also been starving by the time that we arrived and it was late, so, my unchecked hunger from back then versus the clarity I have now absolutely differ. To start, the Habanero & Mango Wings were good--definitely on the smaller end and looking back, for $18.00, that's steep. They were the kind of chicken wing that you see everywhere else, so I'm unable to justify the price point. Honestly, many of these spots serving chicken wings serve the EXACT same wings and I'm tired of it. Yes, these were seasoned well, but they should be of higher quality due to the price. For the main, I got the Chicken Sandwich (Fried) with the Parmesan Truffle Fries. I wasn't too keen on the sandwich actually. It was pretty good, but again, the chicken had me wondering about the overall quality in my head. I did love the Parmesan Truffle Fries. I'm unsure if they just got them from out of a bag, or put in the extra effort to buy high quality potatoes, wash them, peel them, cut them, fry them and season them up themselves. We got the Crispy Calamari as well, and I enjoyed those too. We hadn't finished all of the food and got the rest to go. The total price including tip came to over $100 between two folks. As I said, steep, especially when you're unsure about the quality in the end. I would still recommend this restaurant, which has a cool free working space in the public lounge right next door to it that's open everyday. The presentation and aesthetics were on point. Overall, I would perhaps rate the food 3-3.5/5, mocktail 5/5, and service 5/5! Thank you~

We were looking for a dinner place in the Seaport the night of the 4th of July Fireworks. Tried to book a reservation online and it said they were booked. On an off chance I called and they had plenty of availability. I had the yucca fries and my wife got the clam chowder appetizers, both excellent. My wife had the Gather burger and my daughter had the kids pizza and both enjoyed it. I had the pan fried chicken - the chicken was mediocre, the corn and sauces were very good, but overall the dish was missing something but I'm not sure what exactly. Decent meal, and would recommend this restaurant to others.

This was a nice cozy spot in the the seaport offering indoor and outdoor seating. The staff were friendly and helpful! Our waitress Samantha was sweet and made great recommendations. The menu was limited for my liking, however, I was able to find something with the help of Samantha. The lobster Gnocchi had large chucks of lobster which was appreciated. However, the dish lacked flavor. The hanger steak was prepared how I asked; but very basic in taste.

Why is it that most restaurants in premium locations have mediocre food? It's a shame, honestly. I don't frequent Seaport restaurants because the hassle of driving there and finding parking is just not worth the quality of the food. For such a small (focused) menu, I would think they'd be able to churn out killer dishes. The indoor & outdoor spaces were really nice. Comfortable seating. Cool decor. The service was decent. It was our waitress' first day, so our expectations were properly set. No major complaints. No wows either.

The bartenders were fantastic. Perfect variety of ipas and not to expensive! Highly recommend checking this place out

Came here for brunch, blown away. Strong and delicious drinks- got the aperol spritz, cucumber cooly, nanas iced coffee, and coffee collusion. Every single one was perfect. For food, we got the eggs Benny and waffles with blueberries. Not sure if the waffle weekend deal (starts at $7) comes with one or two waffles but my plate came with two. They were crisp and covered with a sugar glaze, invisible until you bite in- delicious. The potatoes that came with the eggs Benny were mid, came with bell peppers, but the actual Benedict was perfect- runny eggs, yummy hollandaise, and the English muffin wasn't dry. Atmosphere is very casual, kind of small but totally comfortable. Not a restaurant vibe but perfect for a girlfriend or small group brunch. Would 100% come again!

I've been to Gather a few times, and as a former Seaport resident, I'll say I think their menu (while relatively simple) has some of the better food in the resident. Here are a few highlights: -The truffle fries are great! You know how some places have truffle FRIES that seem to have no truffle, while others have TRUFFLE fries that taste like a mouthful of truffle and nothing else? Gather has truffle fries, the way things are meant to be. -They ask how you'd like your burger cooked, which is always a good sign, and deliver perfectly on a medium burger. -The Spicy Berry Margarita was good, but a little on the too sweet side for me -Service has generally been attentive, except once when I came to a day party event here, but that is a different service arrangement and I won't ding them for that. I'll be back!

Found this place when the original place we had in mind was closed for private event. I'm so glad we did. The staff, from the waitresses to servers to bar tenders were all friendly and quick. They suggested we sit at the bar. Bar was well lit, for a bar lounge setting. Music loud enough to have fun but still hear each other. Might have to go out if you're getting a phone call. We ordered the Habanero-Mango chicken wings for appetizers, beats the BWW! This was my third lobster roll, although the one from Quincy market was still the best, it hits the spot! Pan fried chicken and corn was sooo flavorful and not dry. Top it off with great service. Heart and stomach full! Thanks Will for the great service. You're gonna do good in food industry (he said he's a newbie!)

The food overall was great! The waitstaff was also super kind. We had the chicken and waffle bites as an appetizer, I will say while tasty I was expecting more. There was not enough sweetness to balance out the savory which is hat makes a truly good chicken and waffle. I had the lobster roll which was a great meal and the truffle fries were crispy and hot! My husband had the burger which he said was delicious as well. He really enjoyed the flavor of the onions on the burger. I do wish they had at least one dessert option without dairy. We opted not to get dessert there because of this, otherwise we would have.

I came to Gather for a group meet-up, but I had also been there at least a year prior. I remembered thinking the food was nothing special the first time around... this visit confirmed that. That being said, the vibes here are nice and the service is great, but that really can't make up for the lackluster food. We started off with the Mediterranean Platter, which was essentially just crudite, pita, and dips. The pita bread was pretty good, but I suppose that's hard to mess up. The chopped salad was fine, but again, that's hard to mess up. The pizza, though, was pretty bad. The dough had a cardboard consistency and the sauce was fairly flavorless. I think I would have enjoyed a frozen pizza more. Despite the lackluster food, this place is always busy because of the prime location. If you're a foodie, go elsewhere!

This place really lives up to its name! I think it's a great place to gather around with friends and coworkers to just snack, talk, and have a good time. The atmosphere is a big takeaway and it has lots of spaces from outside dining to indoor dining as well as a separate lounge. However, in the absence of atmosphere the food here is a 3/5. The drinks were good in contrast but not strong so it's a nice place to drink and have conversations. The lobster roll is $32 but it was so small, cold, and bland. The bread wasn't even warm. But the quality of the lobster was great, very meaty and thick pieces but no seasoning whatsoever. I'd like some butter and garlic at least but this was a cold cut roll. I guess it's kind of refreshing to taste lobster on its own. The steak was good, but very sparse portion of chimichurri sauce so it was a little dry, you can ask for more chimichurri sauce. Mediocre steak and the sides were unseasoned. The street corn is my favorite, the spicy comes from the sauce but there's not a lot of it so it wasn't that spicy it was more like a spicy aioli. The corn was toasty and warm which I enjoy very much. The wings are like any other regular buffalo wings you'd find at a hang out spot. Nothing spectacular. The truffle fries were OK. They were good and crispy but when it's crispy like this that's a sign that the oil hasn't been changed in a while. Also not seasoned enough. Overall the vibes were great, great atmosphere but not a spot for quality food. It's an overpriced snack at best.

Half indoor and half outdoor. Late night dinner coming in. Not crowded. Nice service. Every thing we ordered is delicious. May be good ideas to get together. Not for date night.

This is a review for Gather and The District Hall as they are essentially intertwined. Gather is a medium size trendy bar and restaurant with about 50ish dining seats and 12ish bar seats. They have outdoor dining during the warmer months and a TV at the bar. The District Hall is an event space and lounge right across from Gather. The first time I went to Gather there was a fashion show at District Hall. The second time I went to Gather I ended up eating in District Hall along with a few other smaller groups and a large Christmas party. I ordered the Smashed Chickpea Naanwich which came with a side of fries for $16. Not bad especially since they charge $8 for a side of fries. The fries were perfect, crispy, seasoned well and plenty to eat. The Naanwich is Smashed Chickpeas, Pickled Red Onions, Tomatoes, Arugula, Harissa Yogurt Sauce, Cilantro on Naanbread was an excellent healthy alternative to a burger. My food also came out 5 minutes and was fresh! Almost too fast, but I'm not complaining. Eating in District Hall is different because you're not really in the restaurant, it's more of a office type environment but I was completely fine with it. I'm on my laptop a lot so I hopped on their Wi-Fi after I ate and I didn't feel out of place.

I went to Gather on a Saturday on the hunt for a good brunch spot. We were seated outside and lucked out because the weather was nice. We were immediately greeted by our fabulous server Jake who was wonderful by the way. I ordered a spread including oysters, truffle fries, egg white omelette, bacon, and a make your own waffle. We also ordered a mimosa fountain. The wellfleet oysters tasted fresh. My omelette was customized with spinach and cheese and it tasted good but pretty standard. The bacon was good and they give you a shareable amount of it. The truffle fries were also pretty tasty but I couldn't eat much of it due to carb overload. But the real star of the show were the waffles. The waffles were perfect, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside! It is so hard to find good waffles and I was throughly satisfied. My only issue was that my fries that I barely touched and prepared to take home fell on the floor and the option for a replacement was not presented to me. Other than that, I would definitely visit again.

They have a few tvs at the bar so we were able to watch basketball playoffs while eating. I wouldn't recommend the ramen since it the broth was flavorless, but chicken was good. That's what I get for ordering ramen at a pub lol but I wanted something light. My teammates liked the Lobster Roll sandwich

Fantastic sandwiches, I had the Turkey club sandwich and my friend had the chicken on sandwich. Both were amazing. For 17$ you get a large sandwich and a side, the French Fries were plentiful and I had a wonderful fruit salad (with the good stuff). The drinks are great, I had the lychee martini and it was a bit sweet but very good. The service was great, even for a busy Saturday on the holiday weekend. I would recommend!

Service was great, food was subpar. Ambiance is beautiful but I was not impressed. The menu had limited options.

It was delicious! Lovely shaded outdoor seating, reasonably priced food, and a great brunch menu on weekends.

The food was very good. Calamari was one of the best I ever had. Chopped salad was delicious, not overdressed. The Gouda omelette was delicious (had it without the hollandaise sauce). My friend unfortunately did not enjoy her turkey sandwich. Service person was very sweet but not the most attentive. Overall nice place, good food, highly recommend.

Nice find for a quick lunch on a brutally cold day. Unfortunately, I did not notice that they only serve a brunch menu on weekends, which was not as appealing to us. We had already had breakfast and the brunch menu steered more heavily toward breakfast choices. Nonetheless, we decided to stay and enjoyed a nice French Onion soup, and an interesting small plate of fried chicken on waffle bites. Dessert did not let us down with fried bread pudding! If you are looking for a fast casual breakfast or lunch, then check them out.

A lot of the places at Seaport are really overpriced, but this place was worth the visit. Came for dinner- great food, nice ambiance. A wide variety of drinks on the menu. Loved: Charred octopus Local oysters Tuna tartare

Gather has always had great food and in my opinion takes into consideration people with food allergies. That stick you see in the potatoes says ALLERGY.

The place by itself is lovely. It has nice decoration inside the restaurant. It has ceiling lamps that look like stars in the sky. The service was good, our waiter was nice and she always checked on my friend and me. The food tasted good. We ordered: Native Oysters, Truffle Fries, Tuna Tartare, Bacon Wrapped Scallops, and Fried Bread Pudding for dessert. I cannot give this place 5 stars for overpriced Bacon Wrapped Scallops. There were only three scallops and I did not like the bacon that they used to wrap them. Other than that food was good. We ordered drinks and they were tasty and refreshing.

Wanted to find a good brunch spot in Seaport and this spot did not disappoint. The Huevos Rancheros were delicious and the waffle was epic. Sean the bartender was super friendly as was the hostess. Great location and vibe with lots of windows and natural light looking out to Boston Harbor.

Came here for a drink because it was recommended to look out on the sea, but I wouldn't say it's a place to go out of your way for as the view was kind of minimal. My wine was fine and the place pretty empty but clean.

Came here because it was recommended by a few friends that stayed in the boston area. The place has a great vibe, friednly staff and the music was at a decent level. There was an engagement party going on but even then everything was running amoothly. Tried the New england clam chowder and tbh it was so good. We all overed different things and everything tasted fresh. Steak, burger, lobster & salmon. I would absolutely go there. After dinner you can walk to the waterfront and walk off the delicious food you ate. Def recommend

best brunch i had in a long time, 10/10 recommend. try the chicken and waffle bite you will not be disappointed. We also had the lobster roll and eggs benedict. for drinks the espresso martini is also a must - we would most likely cone back again

The service was amazing. They were able to be very accommodating to our food restrictions and swap out items if needed. The food was good, just wish the mimosas were a little stronger. Cute atmosphere though! Right in seaport so the parking can be tricky.

More like 3.5 stars. Drinks are good. They have the cool towers that the drinks come in. The clam chowder is tasty but nothing extraordinary. The pretzels came in so much oil. Very unpleasant. Dipping sauces that came with it were not tasty. Atmosphere, decor and location is nice. Servers are quick and friendly too. But not my first place choice. Other places were closed and we wanted a place for drinks which is why we ended up here. I would come back for just drinks and to hang out though.

Yikes. This was very disappointing. The concierge at out hotel recommended Gather for a fun family dinner. It was comparable to an expensive Applebees. Not a great menu. What we did order was quite overpriced and not great and the service was very lacking. We asked for several things which we never received. Undrinkable margarita and a lack lustre wine selection. I'm not sure what the hype is about, but they need to do a lot better.

The food was very good. They did a great job of combining interesting flavors. I had the fish tacos and a side chopped salad. They also had a nice selection of draft beer and a well rounded wine list. I'll also add that our server Eva was charming and attentive.

The vibes of this place were great. The giant drink towers looked super cool too, although I did not get a drink this time. The fish tacos were okay. Nothing special and I don't think they were worth $18, especially with no side. Service was slow especially considering it was pretty empty.

This place was located very close to the Seaport area. Me and one of my coworkers decided to try dinner here. I ordered the salmon and the side of broccoli which tasted great. The salmon had a sweet glaze on the plate and the broccoli was cooked to perfection. The salmon was a little crisp which gave it a crunchy taste on the outside and I loved it! I also tried the fish tacos and the charred octopus which all tasted great. My favorite was the fish tacos. They were very crispy and also very crunchy which made a great flavor and consistency for tacos. I would definitely go back here for dinner and drinks with friends. If you want a walk after dinner just walk across the street and you have a nice view of the water.

Ambiance is very lively and different in a great way. Dare to be different. Service was great even in a busy at the time of setting which was really nice. The food was pretty good comfort food I was impressed. I highly recommend the & bites along with the tentacle

Been here twice and both times food was a disappointment. I must admit, tik tok made me go lol. Food looks much better and place looks way more fun on tik tok. There really isn't anything special at all about this place. Parking is always hard to find in the area, you have to pay for garage parking.

We had a group of 25 people on our visit to Gather. I must say almost everything that anyone had tasted terrible.

Honor your 6 party max. It was annoying sitting next to a party that pulled a table close to another but didn't really sit at the table so they could loop hole your rule. It also reduced the space between me and that rogue guests of that party. Someone from the same party walked through the restaurant past several employees to the restrooms. Service was great. We arrived on time for our 9pm reservation and were seated promptly. The appetizer was great. Octopus. The serving was good. Our cocktails came out as we were almost finished with the appetizer. We both had flat iron steak. I swapped asparagus for Brussel sprouts. Asparagus was overcooked...mushy. Brussels sprouts were good tho. The mashed potatoes were alright. The fries were great. The cocktails were hit or miss. My lychee martini and 75 northern Ave were spot on. The smash and mule of the moment...meh. the "mule of the moment" was ALL ginger beer. Couldn't taste the cocktail at all. The "smash cocktail didn't really taste as I expected but u suppose it was ok. Overall, the parking hassle and just decent meal/drinks is not enough to make me crave this spot. Id come back but without a reservation and hope for the best.

I'm so glad this place is open even during the pandemic! Amazing chicken waffle bites- crunchy waffle. Crispy chicken. And the star is the sausage gravy topping it. Litchitini gave me a nice kick for Sunday morning brunch. Mimosas are pretty good. Staff is courteous. Parking is a problem,

A cute spot in Seaport, perfect if you want good vibes but not as formal as the waterfront places. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive with good recommendations. We started with the chicken and waffle bites, which tasted good but was such a disappointingly small portion (even for just two to share). The chicken pieces were extremely tiny; I would skip that appetizer next time. Although, the grilled chicken sandwich was delicious! The chicken had good texture and the sauce and pickles made it so flavorful. Drinks were also good, both the lychee martini and the raspberry mule. Good spot for lunch or a casual dinner, prices aren't low but they're on the better side for the area.

We came in around 4:40 PM on a Sunday when it wasn't particularly busy. Our group asked for an outdoor table and were seated in the back corner. After being seated, we waited for almost 30 minutes. No one ever came over to provide waters or take our order. At that point, other parties who arrived after us already had their orders promptly taken. Felt eerily uncomfortable as we were the only table of Asian folks there. I went to let the staff know that we were leaving to go elsewhere (such that they could also close our table out of the system). The staff were on their phone before finally addressing us. When we explained how no one had even come by our table, the person at the desk didn't even say or acknowledge us still. By far one of the worst experiences I've had in the area that felt like we were being profiled.

First to be seated when they opened and had to ask a server to help us after everyone around us was brought a water & had their order taken. Throughout the meal the service was poor but their brunch options made up for it. The chowder lived up to its name and was excellent, we were glad we got a bowl instead of a cup because it was that good ! The tuna tartare appetizer was amazing and the wonton chips were perfect accompaniment to the dish and so crispy ! The lobster roll was delicious, with a very generous portion even despite the price it was worth it if you are a cold lobster roll fan. Overall would return for the food but not the service !

Stopped by Gather after visiting seaport and it was surprisingly crowded. The wait for a table was 40 minutes so we opted to be seated at the bar. I got the "award winning" New England clam chowder, which I honestly thought was kind of average. Don't get me wrong it was tasty, but seemed like your typical clam chowder. It was a bit gritty though. We also got the waffle with a side of fried chicken, and were sad to see they had discontinued the fried chicken and waffle sandwich since that's what we came for. Overall everything was good, but not amazing.

The menu doesn't have a lot of options for veggie. A good selection for cocktails, however. The Mediterranean platter was scrumptious. Overall, it's a one-time try for the seaport buzz and vibe which makes sense given its higher-than-average prices.

Stopped here for brunch on a Sunday. There were plenty of tables open but we were seated in the Innovation Center because we didn't have a reservation. The surroundings reminded us of a public library, we even saw someone working on a laptop 10 feet away. The breakfast sandwich was greasy and the bacon was fatty and nearly raw. The home fries tasted like they came out of a bag. The pancakes were tough and flat. When we asked for butter, we were given frozen packets; when we told our server, she came back with melted butter. The surroundings and food were solidly 1 star - we felt nauseous soon after leaving. Definitely won't be back.

Average Beer and Food restaurant... I ordered the Burger and Truffle Fries based on the Waitress' recommendation. The Burger was good but much smaller than the price would've suggested. The Special Sauce had a sharp after-taste...fortunately I'd asked for May and Mustard on the side. Truffle Fries (additional cost) arrived cold and without much distinct flavor. :-( Though Gather was relatively empty at 3:30 pm, the three of us were seated at a middle table rather than one with a view out the windows. Did I enjoy my meal? Yes, great company and good food (not great). Waitress was very sweet. Would I choose to go back? Probably not.

Perfect spot to stop after a visit to the ICA. They offer a fair amount of gluten free options! I had the French onion soup and the grilled chicken sandwich both gluten free.

Signage everywhere about dogs not allowed but I witnessed a couple bring their large dog into the restaurant, not told to leave, then given a seat on the patio. The dog jumped on to the table, barked, chased after other dog, and the staff did nothing. Inside the restaurant was cold, music was so loud conversation was difficult, wait staff just stood around at the hostess stand.

In Boston for a volleyball tournament at BCEC, we were starving for a late lunch, but didn't want to eat inside the convention center again... (yuck). We placed an online order from Gather. Wow! The lobster roll (on gf bun) was PERFECT! The Turkey on ciabatta was scrumptious. The chopped salad was wonderful! We will be back in town next year for more volleyball, and we will be depending on Gather, and avoiding the convention center food altogether.

KISS THE CHEF!!!!! My sisters and I came here for brunch and had the best time. The food was great and the mimosas were perfect. Home fries come seasoned with peppers and onions. The gravy for the waffles has a little kick but is yummy. FYI: They do not have turkey bacon or sausage.
