    Unfortunately the food at Gather was bad enough for me to not return. The staff was VERY nice, and accommodating, but the food was absolutely terrible. The mussels were not filtered properly, so they tasted like pure manure and upset my stomach for the entire next day. Entrees were also not good. Chicken was very dry, overly saturated with rosemary and herbs so there was a bitter/burnt plastic taste to it. Fish was just okay, nothing special. Overall, nothing to write home about.

    I took a guest to Gather last night; it was a first visit for both of us. Outdoors there is an appealing shaded patio which welcomes well-behaved dogs as guess. Inside there is a mix of standard tables, high tops and booths. Since the number of each is relatively small, it is wise to specifiy your preference when making a reservation. The menu is limited but various and includes vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free choices. My guest had the pan seared cod and found it to be delightful. A request to trade the carb choice of mashed potatoes for a vegetable was easily done. I ordered the gluten free salmon with zucchini zoodles finished with a delightful peanut sauce. Both meals were cooked to perfection. The owner's wife Julie stopped by to check on our meals. We are looking forward to a return visit already. Gather is definitely worth a visit!

    Joe was our fabulous server who took great care of our book club group! I had the Blackened Mahi Mahi and would order that again. I especially enjoyed the cilantro vinaigrette on the plate which complimented all components (fish, coconut rice and sweet plantains).

    Portions were small including cocktails. Prices were too high for the small portion sizes. Service mediocre. Need to do better.
