   It’s been a few years since we last ate there. Everything was good, but nothing special. I wish they would expand the menu a bit with a little more entrée choices

   We’ve been to Gather many times and always enjoyed it, but brunch in New Years Day was a different story. The quality of the food seems to have declined and the prices have gone way up. The romesco sauce on the falafel w/fried eggs was under seasoned and tasted canned, and the falafel was greasy and didn’t seem freshly made. The burger didn’t seem worth $22. If the food was great, I wouldn’t have minded paying another $4 for a decaf coffee refill, but this time I was put off. Definitely not worth $70 for the meal.

   The fries were pretty lackluster. And the quinoa and lentil bowl was very underwhelming and mushy without much flavor. I could make a much better one at home.

   On one of the coldest and rainiest days in Berkeley history, they insisted on keeping the door to outside dinning open. There was some pathetic excuse of "fire safety" given - which was pure BS as we had been told earlier it was for the servers convenience. Wearing multiple layers and a down coat and still being frozen to the bone is not exactly how one wants to eat a delicious meal. Had we not been meeting friends, we would have left. Not happy. I guess we can only go in warm weather.

   Appetizer arrived when our main courses did. Small glass of wine. One main course came out 10-15 minutes after the other dishes leaving one person to sit and watch everyone else eat. No apology. Slow and variable attention from the waiter. Cold main dish that should have been served hot (the one that came out 10 minutes after the other dishes, go figure??).

    Our group ordered the falafel burger. It was delicious.The cookies topped with some salt, yum! The service was welcoming and attentive. We chose to dine outside as inside was too noisy. The tables snd seating was just fine. Perhaps some outdoor heaters? We came in from San Francisco.

    We had an amazing 70th birthday celebration for my dear friend and 5 of her close friends. The main hostess made sure that we were seated at a table that was comfortable and warm on the outdoor patio. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome and taken care of-thank you! All of the wait staff were wonderful as were the food and libations!!!

    Service and food both FANTASTIC - room temperature FREEZING!! Several diners kept down coats and woolen hats on during their meals = even if overheated waitstaff weren't cold, overlooking the visuals of bundled up diners should have caught their attention. I was facing the window - it was my partner who brought this to my attention, and when we stood up to leave, it was quite an astonishing sight!!

    we went here for my husband's birthday brunch. Loved this place and the food. Unfortunately, we had a rude group sitting at the next table who spoiled our experience partly, and the service team didn't do much to that end. But in all fairness, it might have been better to not engage with a rude group. Other than that, very kid-friendly place with tons of delicious vegetarian and vegan options.

    Gather is a great place to go with a few friends as it has a lively atmosphere. The cocktails are great and the wine, though a bit pricey, is also very good. The menu is short but interesting, with pizzas prominent though there are other good choices. We particularly enjoyed the pizza and our dessert (which was bread pudding). We felt some of the dishes could have been a bit improved for the price, but we had an enjoyable meal overall at Gather.

    We were a group of vegetarians and we were seated outside on a cold and rainy night. We initially feared for our comfort, but the heaters worked great and the ambiance in the outside eating area was lovely--fully covered and with plants and wall hangings. No problem being outside. We chose Gather because it is known to be veggie-friendly, but the veggie options seemed a little limited. Brussels sprouts were fantastic-- crispy and full of flavor. The felafel burger was a delicious surprise and the grain bowl was good. Squash soup a little bland. We appreciated that the waiter gave us tastes of 4 wines to help us decide which bottle to get, so we knew we would like the bottle for $60 that we splurged on. It was hard to hear and understand the waiter, and he seemed to be assigned too many tables that evening, so it took more effort than it should have to get his attention for this somewhat pricey restaurant.

    Attended brunch -- food was simple but very high quality, in execution, presentation and quality. Everything tasted very fresh. Would recommend to a friend or taking out to catch up. Went on a rare rainy day, so the crowd wasn't large so I don't know how it is on a regular day, but was quiet and very cozy for my party of four.

    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.
