Great service, nice ambience, but food was not good (avocado toast was tasteless, with old mushy tomatoes on top, shrimp tasted overly fishy, and the steak was very difficult to chew).

What a nice open restaurant with a modern, eclectic ambiance. The menu choices for brunch we great. Food was good but not the best for a Gastro pub. Our wait people were very casual and efficient. We enjoyed our lunch.

Generally Fabulous place with great food. This outing was a disappointment, no napkins, great onion rings as always, but nothing to wipe hands on. Waitress rarely seen. Wrong order for the lone vegetarian, but manager did approve change according to Waitress. This was a one-off as Gastro Pub is usually excellent.

I am a regular here so obviously I like the place. The food is good and prices are fair. Service is consistently good. BUT..... sometimes it gets very loud in there and such was the case this visit. We had to yell at each other to have a conversation. I will look forward to the better weather coming when they can open up the big glass doors and that should help with the noise quite a bit.

We love coming here for a casual dinner. The food is always good. Service is impeccable! Our waiter, Cristian was delightful. He even remembered to bring me extra Dijon! He was very attentive! We had requested an indoor table; however the noise level was such that we had to move outside. Have the Cubano - you won’t be disappointed!

Great food and drinks! Try the uptown cocktail, but with ginger beer (basically a hibiscus Moscow mule). The tiger shrimp appetizer is a great way to start. I had the linguini carbonara, wife had the mahi mahi. Both were delicious!

This is one of our go to spots for good food and drink. I've only had one bad experience with my food in the dozens of visits there. My biggest gripe is lack of servers or servers that are assigned too many customers. We came late at 8:00 because we thought the restaurant would have cleared out by then but they kept coming in. Once we made it known to the manager that we weren't happy...waited 10 minutes before a server came to us, things changed. Our overworked server (taking care of 3 very large parties) was replaced by another. My cocktail was brought out immediately (and comped) and then the food arrived almost too fast. I know it's still difficult to staff, so take fewer reservations if you can't have good service for everyone.

We did not have a good experience here. We sat at the bar. The service was not good. I asked for a drink called a Rose Kennedy which is vodka, club soda, and a splash of cranberry juice and she just gave me a glass of vodka and cranberry juice and some ice. I asked to get a new drink and explained, nicely, how to make it. And she just put the drink in a bigger glass and added some soda water. And I just drank it. Then we had to ask her to come back to get my partner a beer, and it felt like we were bothering her. Then we ordered food. My partner got a fried chicken sandwich, and I got the fish and chips that others said was amazing. When I got the fish and chips the fries were warm and a bit soggy, And the fish was not good. Tasted fishy and old. Not hot or crispy so I sent it back and ordered a Cuban sandwich, and that was just ok. Then a new person came over and asked if we wanted another drink and she made my drink correctly and got she got my Partner a beer. But when it was time to pay the bill, we asked to split the bill 50/50. But instead I paid 2/3 and my partner paid 1/3 of the bill. So we just paid it and left. All in all, the experience wasn’t terrible but it just wasn’t good for a $100 dinner of two bar food sandwiches and a couple drinks, so I don’t know if I would recommend GastroPub, and I could say no I wouldn’t, but I’ll just say yes in the next section of this review because it doesn’t give me the “maybe” option. We just won’t be going back there for a while, if ever, and we live in Palm Springs, so yah. Don’t know

We had a great dinner at 1501. Hostess and waiter SUPER nice and conscientious. We had the shepherds pie and the beef stroganoff. But the highlight was surprisingly the date and arugula salad! Decor is super cute but the noise level is high inside cafeteria room with vaulted ceilings. That’s okay, you can sit closer to your date :)

I wanted to order Steak Frites. Although the French fries at 1501 are amazing, I am trying to lose some weight. Our server recommended substituting a Caesar Salad. The salad was copious, and the dressing was terrific. The steak was perfectly cooked with a gentle herb butter drizzle. The steak was so good, I wanted to lick the plate. Willie and his team lead the way as restauranteurs in the Coachella Valley.
