   I always enjoy dining at Gather. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. Their outdoor space is the perfect spot for brunch. Can’t beat their basic breakfast.

   Great food, great location (we were able to walk to Berkeley Rep after dinner), parking garage nearby. Service was good, but she had way too many tables, I felt cold in the main dining room. Food was great, especially the pizza, but also pretty pricey, not sure you go there for value. Good vibe, good people-watching

   Wonderful brunch menu. Lovely setting, great food and service. We'll be back. My partner said it was the best biscuits and gravy he'd ever had, really tasty gravy and flavorful biscuits that weren't drowned in the gravy. Wait-staff very attentive without being intrusive.

    Three of the four of us got served our meals, but the fourth meal did not arrive, and no one checked with us to notice the absence. After we called it to their attention, twice, they finally told us that "it is coming," when it was very clear that the order had never been placed in the first instance. A very meager apology came when the food finally arrived, and then no one ever checked in with us after that point, to see how it was going, or to offer dessert. Eventually we had to signal the waitress for the check from across the room. I have been tipping well during the pandemic, but the others urged me to leave only a token. I left more than that, but kind of regret having done so, since it probably didn't leave the correct message.

    Gather has always been a favorite. The first experience there in a while and, from service and ambience to food quality, preparation and presentation, this exceeded even my dozen or more earlier, positive meals. I would return soon, and wholeheartedly recommend it to others. A great afternoon brunch that set a great tone for the rest of the day.

    I do not understand why the hostess didn't let us enter earlier than our 6:45 pm reservation. We came in 15 min early, she couldn't find our reservation so my husband looked it up & found it for her in the computer. Can she read? Then she asked us to go wait at the bar. Obviously, there were tons of empty tables, and we could be easily get sitted 15 min early. We waited at the bar but didn't have enough time to properly finish our dinner because of our upcoming Zellerbach Hall performance. I am willing to give this place another chance (it's not cheap, mind you!) but please, talk to your staff and instruct them to use common sense while there are on the job.

    Booked a 8:30pm last minute reservation and once we arrived they made it clear we were the last reservation. Went here cause my cousins were visiting from Canada and celebrating their 40th birthday so figure this would be a great spot. Was treated poorly rushing us and telling us that the kitchen closes after 10 minutes of being seated. Rushed us to leave and wasn’t given the dessert menu for my cousin who we wanted to celebrate. If they don’t want guests at 8:30, don’t allow reservations at 8:30 where you’re unfairly treated poorly. We could’ve booked a different restaurant but didn’t know we were getting there at close.

    It was okay, I feel like the menu was missing a few options. It is like you are either a pizza place, or you offer a wider assortment of center of the plate options. The menu could be more well rounded. Felt that it was overpriced for what it was.

    The salad was delicious and fresh. Wish that is where I stopped. As the dining room emptied, the service got sparse. My burger was raw-ish and cold but no one came by. Eventually they recooked the burger but then, my dining partner was antsy and left to check on the car because his dinner was long gone. Fries were nothing to write home about, $22 second burger was just okay. Our waiter was awesome and enthusiastic and delightful but as the evening went on, he seemed to be reassigned to other chores. They comped me the burger which I appreciated. Gold star on that. It all in all, not enough to make me return.

    We had a really wonderful meal overall my husband got the beef burger and I got a falafel burger with french fries and we were both disappointed in the french fries my daughter got the green bowl and loved it the thick cell it was incredible service was impeccable and we really enjoyed ourselves there. Because the french fries weren’t really up to par it felt that the value went down. I meant to pay more prices if the employees are getting paid better it feels like a sustainable situation. But when you’re paying that kind of money and the french fries come like end of batch old cold and still doesn’t feel quite value for your buck.

    To end a long week filled with too much work, and in hopes to start off a relaxing weekend, I made reservation at Gather for a date evening with my husband on a Friday. I selected this restaurant due to the awesome reviews. We got there and - right upon entering - enjoyed the ambiance. This is a beautiful restaurant with an overall pleasant vibe. Our waiter, Ben, was welcoming and attentive when taking our order. We ordered teas, 2 salads (one with figs and one with local lettuces), and the broccoli + mushroom pizza. The salads were all right; nothing to write home about, but the leaves appeared to be fresh and the dressings were decent (it would be helpful if the figs were sweet, rather than tasteless, and if mint or basil was added to the fig salad to take it to "restaurant food" level). Unfortunately, the pizza was not good as every bite had a very bitter taste. We called Ben and expressed to him that we had not loved the pizza and described that the pizza was bitter. Ben proceeded to explain that the vegetables in that pizza are pan roasted before baking it, so it is just expected that the flavor will be bitter. The description on the menu made it sound like we were going to taste something scrumptious (oyster mushrooms, cheese, broccoli, lemon zest). What a disappointment. Ben followed his explanation with, "would you like to add something else to your order?" - to which our response was "no". I was a waitress back in the day and the guidelines at the restaurant I worked was that every guest should leave with a positive experience; it was cheaper to change the food they did not like than allowing them to leave the restaurant with a poor experience, never return, and speak negatively about their experience to others. Ben seems to be a kind individual and professional, so we think it is probably the restaurant's overall practice to not actually solve the issue when a customer dislikes what they are served. We will not return. I'd not recommend this place.

    The cod dish was delicious. The cheeseburger disappointing. The cauliflower tasty and had a nice crisp coat to it . We ordered a Margarita and it was so spicy hot (with a chili floating on top) that we had to exchange it for a different cocktail. Dessert: The bread pudding amazing! The blondie was dry. Chocolate cookies good. At first we were seated at an outdoor picnic like table near the sidewalk/street. It was too noisy so we asked to be moved to under the main outdoor area and we were comfortable there with the overhead heater on. The service was accomodating and gracious. Very nice folks. I felt the price was high for the burger and the falafel. We enjoyed ourselves, but I'm not sure I will return soon due to the menu options and price.

    Food is really wonderful - even the simplest of dishes are a delight. My only problem with Gather are the noise levels - it's all hard surfaces and even at our relatively small table of 6, it was very hard to hear everyone.

    We had not been back to Gather in a number of years and found the food was somewhat more casual (less fancy) than in the past. That said everything was delicious, the ingredients were pristine and the presentations were great. Truly enjoyed the ceviche, pizza, fig and mizune salad, cauliflower, falafel burger, pork loin, ling cod and yummy Sunshine cocktail. Look forward to future visits.

    We had brunch on the patio and it was such a pleasant experience for conversation and dining. We ordered the pizza, French toast and garbanzo bean burger. The sausage pizza was a bit on the oily side, but the other two dishes were delicious. Service was also timely and attentive.

    Our server was excellent and we enjoyed everything. The soft serve ice cream was a treat at the end, and the Cong Dark Pilsner was a pleasant surprise. The only minor downside was the bun for the cheeseburger: the bottom fell apart pretty quickly. Maybe it's too lightweight for the job.

    The food was delicious!! While the waitress was sweet I believe the service could be improved. They didn’t have enough menus printed and we had to wait for a second menu even tho the restaurant was not at full capacity. For the second round of drinks we had to request them 3 times and it took a very long time to get our second glasses of wine. We practically finished our entrees by the time the glasses made it to our table. Perhaps the restaurant needs to work on being a bit more organized in how they handle service and how to become more efficient.
