Gather is one of those restaurants I think of when I want to enjoy a beautiful open and elegant ambiance while also eating a thoughtfully delicious meal. I've luckily been able to enjoy two lovely dinners here, with my boyfriend and friends, and just recently me and my boyfriend. Each time we made reservations in advance and were seated promptly once we arrived. Our servers each time were quick to greet us and offer drinks.
I love that the layout of the restaurant has the bar in the middle and each area has its own distinct feel. From the patio seating, the corner round tables, the high tops, all the way to the intimate back area. Fitting for whatever experience you're going for.
My favorite menu item I've enjoyed ordering and has been consistent each time I've tried it is the crispy brussels. I love how the brussels are crispy throughout, the oil they use is tasty and the cheese, dried cranberries, and pepitas harmonize so well with the perfect amount of crunch and sweetness. It's a winner!
We've also had the mushroom toast this last time we visited along with the big charcuterie board. I love the variety of cheeses and meats they include on the board, along with other toppings. I especially enjoyed the dried figs, cranberries, shelled pistachios, their house made kimchi, beets, and pepitas. For their meat variety I loved the salmon rillette the most. My only wish is to include more bread with the board!
The mushroom toast was delicious albeit different from what the two of us were expecting, but tasty! Our servers each time were friendly, professional, and helpful with any questions we had about our meal or what to choose from. I know we will comeback here again in the future. I especially love their farm to table and being able to see their vertical farm down below. I hope we can see more restaurants that offer something like this. I look forward to trying more of their meals in the future!
