Food was delicious; service outstanding. It was quiet even with other people around. And it helped support the good work HOH is doing. Could't have been better!

We had an excellent meal. Delicious, appealing and creative. We ordered the crab cake, spring schnitzel (delicious sauce!), and lemon berry dessert. It was top notch food and knowing it supports the mission of the daytime program is a win-win. The servers are always friendly and personable too.

Gather 55's prix fixe 3 course dinner was delicious. The lobster ravioli & crab cake appetizers were excellent. The special monthly dinner with a jazz trio made the evening more special. Our server was very courteous and professional. She told us that she had first started as a volunteer. Sorry we've forgotten her name. Rob Maffucci, their director, was on hand to assist in every way and it was nice to chat with him again. We look forward to joining them again.

A hidden gem. Excellent food from a rotating menu created by a variety of local chefs. Very warm and personal service. It also feels good that it’s nonprofit, with the proceeds going to help people.

Go for (because of) the mission, stay for the inventive menu items and stellar service.

We are sorry to hear about your less than stellar dishes. Good news, we have removed those items from the menu and have 3 new items. Hopefully, you'll dine with us again.
