   We celebrated Jane's birthday at Gunther & Co. and our evening and meal were magnificent!! The food is so unique and delicious. We started with the wood oven roasted olives and the house made parker house rolls and the flavors were rich and delicious! All of our entrees were cooked to perfection and the pork chop is very special. We had the burnt basque cheesecake and a baked alaska for dessert!! Don't miss these special treats. We had a lovely table viewing the chef and all of his team making our meals with wonderful service! Thank you all for making our birthday celebration for Jane so special!

   A thoroughly delightful meal on a quiet Tuesday night. A lovely space, impeccable service, and excellent food. Spring menu offered great choices. We’ll be back soon.

   Great service and ambiance! Our sever was very knowledgeable and attentive! The only very small complaint I have is the burger was a little small, but taste and portion on everything else was 5 stars! Can’t wait to go back again!

   We celebrated my graduation here and everything was exceptional. My cocktail was fantastic, the food was amazing and coursed out perfectly/delivered promptly. There was never a moment we needed anything or were waiting too long for something. Our server, Carolyn, was particularly wonderful and thought of everything. I can’t say enough about the desserts and how generous and thoughtful it was for you all to bring out a complimentary slice of your amazing baked Alaska. Spending time with my mom and sister is so precious and you all made it so lovely. PS We all *really* appreciated the volume level. It was so nice to be able to hear everyone with ease and not feel the need to shout. Can’t thank you all enough for the experience and for thinking of everything! I can’t wait to come back!:)

   Always impressed with this place. Every dish I’ve had is fresh with well balanced flavor and the oysters are FRESH! I’ve sat in a different area each time and they’re all cozy. The service is consistently good. This past visit we had a guest with severe food allergies and were so appreciative to learn that the chef had created a dish prepared separately to avoid cross contamination. Will be back again soon!

   The ambiance, decor, food, and service were excellent! Our server had the right amount of sass and had to be the most knowledgeable in the room. She was delightful, and her recommendations were spot on.

   I worked in restaurants for many years and hate trashing a place, but Gunther was a huge disappointment. The oysters and cocktails were great, but it was all downhill after that. Nothing was bad, but nothing was good either. The halibut ceviche was pretty, but lacked any of the citrus punch you expect from a good ceviche. The fish was cut into very small pieces, and didn't taste particularly fresh. In fact, like most of what we ordered, it didn't taste like much of anything. The dumplings were also bland and tepid, lacking in any character, with wrappers that were a little rubbery, nondescript filling and a ponzu type sauce that was too watery. The shortrib was prepared sous vide, but lacked any seasoning, hence flavor, and was also tepid. The accompanying risotto was gummy and as far a we could tell, the accompanying horseradish aioli didn't contain any horseradish at all. The asparagus was way overcooked and carmelized onions lacked any sweetness. Nothing was served hot. The service was adequate, but not outstanding. Although I informed the staff it was my wife's birthday, but there was no acknowledgment during our visit. No one checked back after delivering our food to see if everything was ok. We went inside to the bar for an espresso and nightcap. Like the food, the espresso was also tepid and the back bar looked disorganized and dirty. The cognac was excellent. Bottom line, when you pay almost $300 for dinner, you have the right to expect better food and service. There were a lot of customers eating burgers and fries, maybe we should have taken the hint.

   We came here for my birthday, and sat at a table on the patio outside. Morgan was our server and she was great! Oysters were amazing, cocktails were amazing, food was amazing, dessert was amazing! Morgan recommended a great bottle of wine for dinner and her dessert recommendation was perfect too! The outside patio is so cute! Lots of greenery that makes it feel private. We will definitely be back!
