We dined outdoors with a party of 4 on 3/16/25. A small, but curated, and pricey menu that offers variety and flavor. All of our meals tasted very good but we all felt the portions were small. Pictured is the fried chicken mac and cheese, gather rigatoni, cod and short rib dishes. Everything was seasoned well and presented the same, but nothing was outstanding. The craft cocktails were sluggish from the bar and missed the mark on execution and flavor. My honest review is that this place panders to wealthy locals and tourists by overcharging for a mid experience. It seems harsh considering I have nothing actually bad to say about our meal! I can’t blame Gather for serving exactly what it’s clients want: a trendy, look-at-me eatery where old white dudes can hop off their yacht in the dock and get a decent meal just steps away.

We dined at the bar celebrating our anniversary on 4/13/25. The environment was casual and cozy yet still elevated and a great spot to celebrate. We enjoyed our drinks and the mocktail selection, the crab dip was fantastic as well as the burger and salmon. We were incredibly satisfied- also the bartenders were incredibly friendly and service was speedy!

This waterfront eatery has a laid back vibe. You'll walk by inviting outdoor sofas and high tops on your way to the host stand inside. The three small sections feature differing design elements to draw the eye while bringing some energy to the space. A long well tended bar features comfortable leather bound armchair stools, a collection of intriguing cocktails, interesting wines and beers all at decent prices. The dining space is the most Spartan with gray walls, wooden chairs and blank tabletops. The well numbered staff is casually dressed, congenial and attentive. We enjoyed the sharable shrimp with chorizo (excellent 9/10), a chopped salad (entree size, also very good 8/10). For mains one had the black cod (7/10) and the other wagyu strip (7/10). Pricing felt quite reasonable for a restaurant in this type of resort location. There is an opportunity to improve: embrace one of the more interesting design themes, lower the lighting levels, introduce more upscale seating and dress the tables. Our visit was on a Saturday evening in February. Free parking in the adjacent garage.

Highly recommend, love the short ribs which are also gluten free. My husband had the pasta and it was tasty but a little small for the $$ so he wound up getting a snack later. Our server was friendly and attentive. Overall very good!

Delightfully surprised by this restaurant. Stayed at the Westin and walked over. Every single food item was incredible and well crafted: Brussels sprouts, in-n-out burger, fried cornbread and the swordfish. Service was also top notch. Great prices, too!

Fantastic atmosphere, food, and service. Walter and staff gave us a warm welcome as we celebrated my father's birthday.

Delicious grilled swordfish and craft cocktail. Every little detail attended to both with food and service. Outdoor seating was lovely. Inside was a bit too loud for my preference but decor is nice and if you like a more vibrant atmosphere you’ll enjoy it.

I would like to preface this review by stating that we were regulars at Gather and have always been very pleased with the food, service and overall experience. However, the last visit was a vastly different experience. The water was served in very hot glasses right out of the dishwasher so the water was very warm and one glass had sediment. We requested sparkling bottled water and received club soda from the bar tap. Our drink order took 25 minutes to receive and only after requesting another waitress check on them as our waitress was absent. The perogies were delicious but the sauce on top tasted like a flour base and was grainy. The duck wings were absolutely delicious. I ordered the Black Cod with saffron risotto and roasted squash. The risotto was so starchy that it was necessary to cut it as it was in a solid clump. The cod was extremely dry but saturated with oil at the same time. The waitress never asked if we needed another drink or if we needed anything or even how things were. I will give this restaurant a nice long break while I decide if I ever return which is unfortunate because this was where we used to go for special occasions.

Gather is an amazing little spot with fresh food, including vegan and gluten-free options. We went for brunch and the location is lovely and right on the water. It was hot outside so we sat inside this time. There were six in our party and we had the pleasure of having Delaney as our guide through this brunch journey. She mas wonderful recommendations based on our wants, individual allergies, and dislikes. Despite a packed house, Delaney was the most attentive server. She checked in regularly and made sure everything that came out was to our liking. The cornbread nuggets with the bacon and onion chutney were amazing and I ate the entire plate. This is rare for me but it was THAT good. Everyone enjoyed their meal. It was delicious and reasonably priced. We would go back for sure. There's something for everyone.

Fantastic dinner at Gather on Christmas Eve. We were a party of three and shared a salad. They make everything from scratch including their handmade pastas. The rigatoni was excellent as was the blackened cod and the squid ink linguine. For dessert, we shared an amazing vanilla crème brûlée. The service was outstanding. We will definitely be back again.

15 February 2024 Cape Coral , Florida Decided to try a new dinning establishment in the Cape and went to "NEXT DOOR" at the southern tip of the Cape Coral , an area called Cape Harbour ... Once inside , the Maitre D' informed us that without reservations we can not be seated. Harrumph !? We left ... and went next door to "Gather" restaurant. Gather appeared to be much more welcoming and quickly invited us in and seated us at a table. Scanning the menu I decided to try the spicy shrimp & sausages. Service was quick and efficient. My bowl of shrimp and sausages was covered in a spicy sauce with two slices of toasted bread. The dish was as advertised ... SPICY ! I love spicy foods and enjoyed every bite. My companion ordered the Grouper. As the Grouper was served I quickly helped myself by reaching over to steal a bite. Bad manners , I know , but it was worth it because the Grouper was delicious. I will definitely order the Grouper at a future visit. I give Gather 5 Stars. Ambiance, service , efficiency, quality of food and the savory taste of the food. Oh , and presentation was on point. Oh , and the name Gather implies a gathering place. Well the restaurant includes sofas and lounging areas and a Bar where people can gather , sip some wine or enjoy a cocktail before or after dinner. There is also outside dinning with stunning Sunset views. Yeah , I'll be back. This was my first visit to Gather but won't be my last. Street Parking is somewhat iffy so come early or park in a nearby garage.

Went for dinner last night at the bar and it was fantastic! Really beautiful decor inside, relaxing and modern. Bartender was friendly and d helpful. Everything is made from scratch and you can tell. The food quality is outstanding. The chefs are creative and I liked so many things on the menu which is rare. Wednesday was 1/2 price wine night so that was a great bonus! I miss northeast Italian food and this was even better than some of the Philly and New York Italian restaurants. And the portions are a good size. I can't wait to go back!

Was very excited when I saw the menu but very disappointed with execution. Ordered the pork belly sticky bun and pork belly Ramen. Pork belly, steam bun was very basic pork was good. For the steam bun was good. The sauce they served on the side was very good, but it was that and plain cabbage on the plate. The Ramen had Ramen noodles, couple of mushrooms, very few pieces of cabbage and three pieces of pork. It is not a soup looked like they took some of the glaze for the pork for the pork belly mixed with just enough water to coat the noodles. The only thing Ramen about it was tge noodles.

Gather used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Cape; sadly last night we had the worst experience, I ordered a Sangria cocktail and it looked like a 5oz pouring of wine; then I order a beer they forgot about it; the service was very slow. I had the agnolotti pasta and not only took forever it was dry, burnt and tasted like frozen box food, my husband had a paella that was more like risotto; not color not flavor. After a very expensive dinner the question is how can your favorite pasta become the worst pasta you ever had. To top the food and service one of the singers wanted complete silence while he was talking and said: "If you wanna talk you can go outside". Not going back

Sat here on a not so busy day. Sat outside with family. Beautiful view. Food was delicious I ordered the ayce pasta not sure what it was called. Kind of sucks that you order first dish how you like (protein) but second dish you have to pay for protein and so forth so basically it's not really an ayce haha because you're paying for protein which is $12-20 something on top of the regular price and if you don't get protein it'd just pasta and sauce... Anyways. Our server was nice however she kept forgetting orders. Our apps came out after our dish which she forgot to put in. We got fries for kids and that never came.

Brunch with friends and family. The food was excellent. In house made spicy gravy with fresh made biscuits and eggs was first rate. The combination breakfasts were also excellent. The bottomless beverages were nice and enjoyed by all. The service was attentive and very good, even with a packed dining room. Interesting decor and vibe. A bit bohemian but not dark and with nautical artwork. The one major downfall is the EXTREME loudness. They need to do some acoustic management or hand out earplugs.

We hosted our third & final wedding celebration with our closest SWFL friends at Gather last weekend. It was a FANTASTIC time. Apologies to all of the other diners as I know our group was having way too much fun singing along with the live musician, but he was playing all the crowd favorites and knew it. The service was top notch and our table location (a large high top near the bar) was perfect for our group. We had a blast. We ordered one of every appetizer and two of every dessert. The Spicy AF margarita (true to its name) was to die for and the espresso martini!?! OMG - heavenly. I had to pace myself because it was way to easy to drink. Some of our favorite appetizers... SPICY SHRIMP Chorizo/ Cilantro/ Lime/ Seared Bread Really flavorful and perfectly cooked shrimp - good portion size! Chorizo paired nicely and added depth to the dish! AHI TUNA TATAKI Edamame/ Seaweed Salad/ Mango/ Ponzu/ Avocado/ Wasabi Aioli FRESH AF. Straight from the sea and the ponzu was savory goodness. CRISPY BRUSSELS SPROUTS Roasted Cashews/Sriracha Miso Glaze This was everyone's hands down favorite and 80% of the group is carnivores so that was unexpected. Flavor was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Our favorite dessert was the COCONUT OPERA Almond Sponge/ Dark Chocolate Ganache/ Buttercream/ Whipped White Chocolate/ Coconut Sorbet. ; honestly it tasted like a big smore cake! LOL 10/10 recommend Gather - hopefully they'll have us back one day

Gather is a waterfront restaurant located in the marina village at Tarpon Point Marina. They have a small outside dining footprint and a larger inside dining room. We were a party of four Saturday evening. The indoor ambiance is casually minimalist with some stand-out lighting fixtures and original art available for sale on the walls. The space is suitable for celebrations and groups with the caveat that the noise level is loud and dinner conversation requires effort to be heard. This was our first visit and the table-wide consensus was the starters were the stars of the meal. Both the Wagyu Empanadas and Spicy Shrimp were exceptional. There were very serious discussions about dining on starters for the entirety of future meals. They were memorable in all the best ways. Entrees ordered included a couple Gather Rigatonis, Grouper and Seafood Paella. All were good and perfectly acceptable. But the starters were a tough act to follow and the entrees didn't stand out as much.

The fact that this place wasn't more packed is actually a huge crime. The service was great, our waiter was super friendly, and the food was phenomenal. It's a scratch kitchen with a fancy vibe, but it wasn't pretentious at all. The food was just really good quality, and sourced locally (the waiter told us that their produce comes from a farm in Bonita Springs). Everything tasted super fresh. The charcuterie was phenomenal. Four different kinds of meat and five different kinds of cheese. All of the meat was pork, but none of it had the gamey-ness that charcuterie pork can sometimes have. The cheese was just fantastic. That triple crème brie was insane, as was the hard sheep cheese, which was kind of similar to a manchego. The empanadas were perfect little bites, fried perfectly, served super warm, and the chipotle aïoli wasn't too spicy, but perfectly complemented the meat. The drinks were also amazing, as was the octopus which was kind of served in like a hash situation that was almost like breakfast-y in a really good way! The potatoes were like patatas bravas, and the sauce was perfectly spicy. Not to mention the interior was beautiful, with a really cool, relaxed, kind of vibe that would be perfect for a date night or a night out with friends. Our cocktails were great, but honestly, the entire cocktail menu sounded amazing. Overall, we had such an amazing experience and will definitely be becoming here again! If you're struggling to decide whether you should go here, just do it.

Had an incredible experience today at Gather. Silver took such good care of us. You can tell she loves what she does. She was so passionate about the food and drinks. It made for a lovely experience for us. The rest of the staff is so kind too. The food runner was very sweet and made it a point to tell me about the restaurant. Now, the food and drinks were incredible. Everything tasted fresh and yummy. We were in love with every bite. Don't skip on dessert (crème brûlée). We LOVED it! Don't wait, come try this place out! I'm so happy I did.

Service was terrible looked like only one waitress for whole restaurant and she was up at the coffee bar every time we needed something. We ordered two salads and one had no added protein it was just lettuce and tomato for 16$. The dressing was also very sparse. I had the Brussel sprouts appetizer and it was like they were soaked in salt not edible. My daughter got the ink pasta with crab barely any crab to be found and absolutely NO flavor at all !

This is a special occasion favorite of ours. We have come here on father's day and birthdays and we have enjoyed it very much. We found that their brunch menu was reasonable and had a lot of delicious options. The meatballs are a must! We love their freshly made pasta but we mostly love the atmosphere and the drinks. The staff is always friendly, we've made reservations anytime we go there to avoid any wait time. We've had many items on their brunch and main menu, there is not one thing we didn't like. The view is amazing too, right on off of the water. Wish the menu was more extensive.

We went for my birthday. Location: 10/10 Beautiful views of the marina and very nice vibe Drinks: 8/10 Would be 10/10 except I think $17 for a cocktail is steep. Staff: 10/10 Food: 2/10 We ordered the meatballs for an app. No flavor at all. They definitely used a lean ground beef, which isn't bad but they were a bit chewy and lacked any salt. I'm sure that the idea was that the red sauce they were served with would add that flavor but it didn't. I ordered the beef short ribs. I was excited because it came with Mac and cheese. However, once I tried it, it again lacked any type of flavor at all. No salt. The cheese sauce was very sparse... too dry. The beef texture was good! However. Again. No flavor. No salt. No acid. It tasted like straight beef. My significant other ordered the octopus. He enjoyed it. He said the texture was perfect. However, he said it also lacked any type of seasoning. Overall, I'd say for the grand total of over $150 I am disappointed and won't be rushing back for dinner. Maybe I'd come back for drinks but even then I can think of other bars with drinks just as good with better prices ‍

Excellent food; and lovely setting at the Marina. Their ingredients carefully selected and their dishes elegantly plated. Cocktails are good, however priced at higher-end bar prices without the complexity of any of a big city cocktail lounge but worth for the place and ambiance.. The staff is very attentive and friendly. We had the misfortune of having the one server, who was entirely transactional and inattentive unlike her peers, therefore not five stars, expecting a little more care in making sure all the staff is providing a good experience to the guests. Still - I would recommend Gather over all of the other dining options in the area.

Came here a few weekends ago to attend the comedy show brunch. Comedian was great but the service was horrible. We got there 45 minutes before the comedian took the stage and yet our waitress did not take our order until the main comedian was already in his act. We finally got our food 15 minutes before his set ended. To add insult to injury we were seated right next to the comedian so it was a distraction to the show. The food tasted good but by that point i was starving (arrived at 12:30 did not eat until after 2pm) so I can't honestly give a review of the food. Which is too bad because the presentation was nice, but I won't return for to the awful service.

In town for Sailing School and heard this was "the place to go". And it was. Mind you, it's not the place where you're gonna get any bargains. But what you will get is QUALITY. Quality food, quality craft cocktails, quality service and some nice live acoustic music ambience to boot. I had the Brussels Sprouts which were mind-blowingly good. This could have been my whole meal. But then I had to have the Charcuterie Board - which was also a home run and plentiful in proportion. As a BONUS - the board included an actual piece of honeycomb loaded with honey. It was crazy good and a definite first for me. Save your pennies and make sure this is on your must do list when you're in the area!

Bad experience this trip. On 5/7 we witnessed the bartender marrying bottles of alcohol (pooring one bottle's contents into another), this was done right in front of customers. Aside from being illegal in all 50 states and reason to pull a businesses liquor license, it takes away the customers confidence that the product received is what was ordered. It leaves you wondering what else the business is cheating. Time to provide some training to your bartenders.

I moved here a year ago, I leave 3 minutes away from the restaurant and always wanted to try the food since it looks like the chef does amazing things. I was wrong! The menu is over priced. Everything is so expensive and honestly no flavor at all. I know how to make pasta from scratch, my daughter bolognese sauce was whatever and the pasta was hard. I ordered the burrata salad, that was "ok" with an artisan bread with lots of butter to have some taste. I got the crab pasta with lot of kale. No flavor at all and very incredible expensive. I will not go again. Sorry, but I can cook better at home.

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night. Love the area, shame the hurricane did a number on the marina, but things are coming back. Gather looks like it was never touched by the hurricane, which speaks to a clear desire to get back to normalcy. While the ambiance was cool, the experience and the meal left a whole lot to be desired. Their hearts were in the right place, and the menu was intriguing, but execution was lacking. In certain areas, basics were fumbled, hence the three stars. It was busy that night, and we were seated promptly. There are three dining areas--the bar, where the mixologists' skills are on full display, the adjacent dark loungey vibe area with couches and low tables, and the main eating area which is more brightly lit and full of air conditioners going full blast. There was also a singer there that night who seemed like she wanted to be heard over the (loud) ambient noise, which didn't exactly go over particularly well. I'd say try to sit at the bar, where it's darker, quieter, and you can see the most redeeming part of this place (the drinks) being expertly made. I saw previous reviews that said some people felt as though they were ignored once seated, and indeed I began to worry after maybe 10 minutes that we'd join the ranks of the forgotten, but our server came by and apologized for the wait. Drinks were ordered. Hostess came by, too, making sure somebody was taking care of us. They must've read reviews, and are making an effort to correct their missteps, which is absolutely commendable. As mentioned earlier, drinks were fantastic. I wish my Tropic Thunder was a bit boozier, but their Old Fashioned (aka the Rockefeller) was on point. The Mrs. enjoyed her Samurai Sour. I think that were we to come back, we'd sit at the bar, have a couple of drinks, order a simple appetizer or two, and be content. As for which appetizer or two, well, it wouldn't be the wagyu meatball or the (special) wagyu musubi. Both were disappointing, especially the $30+ musubi. Now, if you've never had musubi, its usually a seared block of spam secured to a block of sushi rice with some seaweed and covered with a sweet/salty soy/teriyaki thing. Salty umami bombs of poor-man's decadence. Unfortunately, the upscale wagyu version was anything but. The meat lacked any beef flavor, was woefully under-seasoned, and had no sear to impart any variation of texture. The black garlic molasses sauce just tasted of pink peppercorn and a hint of vegetable oil. And, my biggest gripe of all, the rice was cold, mealy, and absolutely stale. For the price being charged, completely missing the mark on the very basic tenet of rice cookery was deplorable. Overall, the dish was a great idea on paper, but sophomoric when attempted. Just give me a block of spam next time. And the wagyu meatballs were nothing special, either. Likely made from the ground up trimmings of their other wagyu dish(es), these were very dry and very bland. The red sauce was good, but didn't salvage the meat. Maybe throw in some uncured pork belly or just a fatty slab of chuck roast into the mix? Just a thought. The mains were better. Serviceable, but not spectacular. My wife enjoyed her grouper and pasta, though I thought her velouté was under-seasoned and over-reduced, almost like a really thinned out...cream cheese. I ordered their paella, which was pretty tasty, but certainly wasn't a paella. Maybe paella-adjacent. Call it a seafood risotto and I wouldn't argue. Shrimp were good. Clams were tiny. Sausage was fine. Description also says salsa verde...? Nah, dawg, no salsa here, verde or otherwise. At least they finally found the salt, because this was seasoned well. We ended with the Coconut Opera, which was a lovely patisserie-esque offering, though the ganache and buttercream were fairly subdued. The coconut sorbet was freezer-burned or something, but still edible. Felt super fancy eating the gold leaf, too. Overall, I thought it was a decent meal, but nothing special. This might just be a drinks and apps place for us. No more ordering $35 wagyu musubi specials like a rube, though, that's for sure. Live and learn.

We absolutely loved this place. My only complaint is they are closed on Mondays so we didn't get another chance to go back! The location was beautiful, the food was amazing, and our server was super friendly. I definitely recommend the rigatoni and the eggplant parm appetizer.

I have been here twice and only for dessert. I do plan on going for a regular meal one of these days. What I liked so far was the atmosphere and the staff were pretty nice. This dessert was a favorite by my group yesterday that we ended up ordering two of them. If you like dark chocolate, white chocolate or coconut, you'll love this. It even has gold flakes. The cake was moist and felt the chocolates were balanced by the coconut, which surprisingly didn't make this dessert super sweet. I will update this review when i have an actual meal here. But so far, I love it!!

Continue your search. First you must realize that this restaurant is inside the Westin resort complex and so, as hotel complex's go, they have a captive audience, high customer throughput, and limited selection within the complex therefore it gets a lot of mostly 5 star reviews and this is not a 5 star restaurant. Party of 4. We made reservations for 6pm and were seated quickly. We skipped appetizers and ordered drinks and our main course. The menu is unique with a good but small selection. Drinks came quickly and we were able to have a great conversation before the food arrived. Sea food paella, flat bread pizza and blue crab with homemade pasta. This is where the 3 stars were earned. The blue crab could have been delicious but they red pepper flakes overpowered the dish. The flatbread came with so much arugula piled on top that you had to search for the bread- the bread was good however. The paella was on the smaller size of paella dishes that I have had and the overall taste was average. The service was underwhelming at best. The lead waiter was doing all he could but the other waitstaff seemed to wonder around searching for butterflies, but once you got their attention they were very attentive. I do understand that the service industry is struggling right now on staffing, so this may simply be the best they can do. So to summarize- Cape Coral has other gems out there that are worth the search. If you are at the Westin and don't want to drive to a restaurant this is a good choice, just not 5 stars. Enjoy

My wife and I stayed in Cape Coral this weekend and went to Gather three times, twice for Brunch and once for dinner. The food is very good and the service is good as well, although one bartender found it fun to constantly yell across the bar at her favorite customers which got really annoying. I recommend the Corn Beef Hash, which is good but I wish it came with two eggs instead of one. For dinner the two recommendations are the burger (MR) and the risotto. I also appreciated their selection of craft beer on draft, we had the Voodoo Ranger IPA.
