We had looked at the dinner menu online prior to our arrival and each of us had made an initial decision about our selection. The two for $30 menu really made us second guess our choices. We ended up ordering from the 2/$30 menu and we were disappointed. We should have stuck with our original selections. The bolognese was much too spicy for me. The menu mentioned beef bolognese but I think it was more like a spicy sausage. There was confusion about the Hwy 486 and Hwy 22 hamburgers. We will certainly come again and will be better prepared and informed about selections. The staff was very nice.

Steak house prices for sub par food and service. We were there for 2 hours with a party of 10 and not a single drink refill that I can recall. Had to repeatedly ask multiple servers for high chairs until my husband finally went searching and found some himself. Some meals were okay others weren't prepared right or didn't taste good at all. Overall the experience was a let down.

Ordered the filet medium rare, and it was the first filet I’ve eaten that had fatty pieces, it was hard to cut and chew. I decided not to bring it to my servers attention because of it being my sisters birthday dinner causing potential tension.

The Gathering is always a winner when it comes to food quality and atmosphere. I must say, there was a band there that night that was pretty loud and the AC was not keeping it -- up was a bit warm. However, the food more than makes up for it.

Thank you so much for your feedback! We will take the volume and A/C into consideration so we can have an even more enjoyable ambiance.

This was my third time to eat here but my wife's first. I just love this place. We both got the combination 2 catfish filets and 5 shrimp. She got the green beans and they cooked them perfectly for her. Then we split the chocolate pie. Hit my yum factor!!! So will be coming back here in the future.

Server let our drinks run out every time so we had the hostess helping the inbetween times. Steak was all rare though we asked for medium. Prime rib was perfect for the other two people. Otherwise food was great and folks were friendly.

We treated my mom to dinner here for her birthday. It was a busy (typical) Saturday night during prom season but that did not diminish the service or food quality. Our waitress was great and recommended a drink that was not on the menu but was her favorite… it was delicious! We will definitely return. (One more thing… it’s kid friendly as we brought our 3 & 8 year old) 🎂🥳

We had a 5:30 dinner and we were seated promptly; however, no server came for ~15 minutes. We had to ask the hostess if there was a server assigned to our table. Follow-up for beverages didn’t happen until we were almost done eating.

We had a great time at The Gathering. The meals were perfectly portioned. The selection of wine was great. Although they did not have Malbec on the menu, the Pinot Noir that I had was delicious. The steak I had was aged perfectly and the demi-glace was rich and tasty. Some of the dishes were a little salty for my palate, but the presentation was worth every bite. I just drank plenty of water after the meal.

We have eaten many times at this location, mainly lunch. Gumbo was just ok, one guest got all chicken in gumbo, one guest got no meat in there’s. Rice in gumbo was cold. Shrimp was over cooked for one guest. The greens were under cooked. Mac and Cheese was cold. We arrived at 5:45, our food was on our table an hour later. The salads were good. The steak was good. The spaghetti was good.

Discovered this lovely place while on vacation. The Redfish was very good, but wasn't very warm when it got to the table. Others in our party said their food wasn't very warm either. Service was quite slow and after dropping off our food the server checked on us once and never came back to see about refills on drinks.

The food, though outstanding, was preceded by very poor service due to being understaffed. Waiting almost 30 minutes to place an initial drink order is ridiculous given the price point of the restaurant.
