About this restaurant

  • Healthy
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Vegetarian-friendly
Gather in downtown Berkeley features organic local produce, pizzas, sustainable seafood, and humanely-raised meats that showcase the unique abundance of Northern California. We have a balanced menu of meat and vegetarian offerings, craft cocktails, and local, sustainable wines. The experience is served up in a warm ambiance of honey hued reclaimed woods literally “gathered” from the surrounding area. Directly across from the UC campus, it is conveniently located with parking lot beneath the restaurant, and just 5 minutes from Zellerbach Hall and Berkeley Rep.

    Gather is a favorite destination. Love the mix of seating options including the main room, the little bar area and outdoors. There's a good range of food choices, and prices compare favorably with other restaurants offering similar menus. The location is great; a block from downtown, adjacent to campus and around the corner from a parking garage.

    Usually, this place is a little better. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the service was slower and a little less attentive I think was the main issue. Really tasty mocktail though.

    Noise inside made it difficult to talk. If I go again, I will want to go in good weather when I can eat outside.

    Hi Lynda, that you for taking the time to leave a review. You should absolutely come back and check out our Greenhouse Patio! Not only is it a beautiful space and quieter, it's also covered and heated!

    It was our first visit and the food and lively atmosphere was perfect for a Sunday family dinner. Really enjoyed the Brussels sprout and little gem Caesar salad along with the halibut, chicken mole and braised short ribs. It was a delicious low carb meal and we would love to go back and try some of the other items on the menu too.

    Thank you for the stellar review Carleen, we're so glad you enjoyed gathering with us on Sunday! We hope you'll join us soon for more great food and memories

    The service has been uniformly gracious at this restaurant, truly outstanding with the hostess/maître d, Lucy, being especially lovely and accommodating. I have been there twice recently, once alone, on the 20th with a friend. Unfortunately, the 20th was Easter Sunday, and unlike the previous week, the outside area was very loud in a way that made it difficult to hear each other. Will returen.

    Both the food and the service were excellent, and the restaurant interior felt homey and cozy even though the space is quite spacious and open. We went for brunch and the biscuits were off the hook!

    Our biscuits are totally off the hook! Thanks for the review David, we love filling our beautiful restaurant with vibrant and kind people like yourself. We hope to have you back soon!
