We have enjoyed dinner here before but we were a little disappointed this time. Our carne asado was too salty and our Basque cheesecake was a mystery which tried to hard to be creative. Unfortunately many menu items had an upcharge too. We do love the concept of the visiting chefs and the seasonal menu.

Gather55 is a hidden gem. The ambiance is relaxed. Brick, cool art. The service was excellent. Our server Andrea was the best! She explained the mission and the menu. She made the perfect wine pairings for us. The food was excellent Seriously, the best we have had in a long time. All this while helping the community is priceless.

We really enjoyed our dinner and experience at Gather 55. The servers were excellent and gave us a good summary of the purpose of this establishment including encouraging us to leave extra tip that all goes to the community fund. It always makes me feel good to give to a cause. The dinners were delicious and I’ll be back to try out the next few chefs. Go with the pre fix meal - what a bargain!
