    We ate dinner and breakfast. The omelet was amazing and just the right size and the brioche french toast was great. Dinner was a buttery halibut and wagyu beef that so flavorful! They grow so much of their own stuff and they make wine, too. I would recommend all of it. Drinks were fun as well.

    We had a very nice dinner out on the patio. We plan to eat inside, but the music was a little too loud for us. The spinach salad was delicious with the shrimp on top.

    We two friends looked forward to catching up and having a nice lunch. We each ordered a Caesar salad with salmon and asked that the waitress keep the water and tea coming. We were the only diners at noon. It took twenty minutes to get our salads, and when we asked why so long for a salad, the waitress said that the chef had to make sure the salmon was cooked correctly. When asked for a roll to go with the salad, we were told they didn’t serve rolls with lunch. The waitress offered toast. When the salads finally arrived, the lettuce was limp and soggy as though it has been tossed with the dressing a day ahead. The salmon was a four-inch overcooked square. The croutons were out of a box. We had to ask for more tea and water. It’s too bad because this is a beautiful setting.

    We did not care for the new bar stools/chairs. They don't swivel so are difficult to get in to and are difficult to move closer to the table once you are seated.

    Food and presentation was great. Complimentary slice of cake for the bday was nice. Service was slow and we waited for about 15 mins before someone was available to help us. Dogs are allowed which is fine but barking is disruptive while dining. Overall very nice option since we were staying the nite there. Had brunch the next morning and it was great as was the mimosa flight.

    The food is just lack luster. The service was just OK. Server wasn’t very friendly. The bright lights on the patio didn’t help the ambiance. They need dimmers out there.

    We have gone to The Gate about 4 times a month since they opened. Love the service and western theme. We enjoy Wine down Wednesdays, music on Wednesdays 6 to 8, wine tasting on Thursdays, special events. But I have a couple of comments about last night. First thing was their new chairs for the bar and high top tables. They are impossible to get in and out of! EVERYONE was complaining. They are not near as comfortable as the previous ones and they really don't match the decor either. My order of a rare hamburger was well done - so not near what I wanted. My side of blue cheese dressing was totally watered down - VERY runny, couldn't use it. So not one of our better experiences at The Gate.

    Had Easter Brunch with family. The food was excellent…. Service was non existent… there were no staff serving coffee or drinks, everything was self serve. For $50 per person they should have had staff to bring coffee and drinks to guests. By the time you went and go your own drinks, your food was cold when you got back. Dessert station was lacking… chocolate pudding and do it yourself strawberry shortcake. I would not do brunch there again.

    Person making Bellini had never made one (a server stepped in since no bartender was there at brunch) no peach syrup to make Bellini was available so strawberry something was stirred in. Awful result. Ordered Eggs Benedict- muffins were tough and not cuttable, asked for cheese sauce on the side and it was delivered to table Luke warm. Not a good experience.

    We went there for St Paddy's day dinner. It was just right, with very good service. The coffee was excellent, I'm always the dd. The arrangement was bench, table, chair. The chairs are high backed, so you don't feel exposed to the room. Will go again, Jim

    The food was very good, but the live music was so loud that it spoiled the experience. It actually hurt our ears - it was a bit screechy - and certainly made it impossible to have a conversation. We were counting the minutes until it was over. If we had been by ourselves, we would have left before we were even seated.

    We celebrated my mother’s birthday with a special meal here. My parents both were pleased with their first time experience. We had stellar service by our server and the assistants who helped. All of our dishes were delicious. Everyone was impressed with the freshness of the vegetables and tenderness of the meats and fish. My husband and I wanted to share this special place with our family. We’ve visited the Gate many times before with friends and always consider it a special destination. We will make it that in the future too.

    Keeping in mind that it was valentine's day and the menu was limited the food and ambiance was ok. Initially when we arrived the music was at a good volume that allowed our table to talk without having to shout after a few minutes they turned the volume up on the music and it was difficult for us to have a conversation. They brought the bread and butter out and the butter was nice and soft but the bread was hard as a rock. Our salad came out at the same time as our appetizer not really allowing us time to properly enjoy either one. It felt as though we were being rushed as we could not set our forks down for a minute to talk before the bussers came around wanting to remove the plate. I had the Elk and Venison and the flavors were good but the food was cold. Again same thing kept happening with our plates as the bussers kept trying to take them before we could even finish. The dessert was good but the ambiance was ruined by the fact that we felt rushed to get out.

    Good, basic food, though a bit overpriced for what you get. They really should have a non red meat option for breakfast meat, such as a chicken sausage or turkey bacon. I was surprised they did not…and more than a little disappointed. Lovely ambiance and GREAT service.

    The restaurant is being remodeled so the small dining room with only 3 table occupied was extremely noisy. We were dining with friends so their hostess set us up in a conference room across the hall. It was chilly and not cozy. The food was terrific, a bit pricy we all had burgers. Would recommend but after Reno done.
