    I had a party of five for the afternoon tea and I have to say it was amazing! Our party consisted of three adults and two children and everyone enjoyed the audience and the food and the special attention immensely! I could not recommend this location higher for afternoon tea. I am a huge fan of tea and this was the best one I have ever experienced! The food was delicious and the service outstanding. The location inside Neiman Marcus is absolutely beautiful and such a perfect place for a lovely afternoon! White

    Always one of my favorites. This new as menu rewrite may be the best one yet. Amazing beautiful presentation on the beet salad, delicious beef tongue app and beef cheek stuffed pasta. The manager Scott is one of the best and most gracious. And the new addition to the bar with Joseph has totally made a huge difference. His passion and expertise has leveled up the overall Torc experience. I usually do all of my food and beverage pairing, but I trusted him to create some cocktails based on what he thought would go good with the meal and he over delivered.

    This was my second time dining at Gatehouse. Our server, Elisha, welcomed us and made our entire night. The service was outstanding, and answered all our questions with ease. Each course looked and tasted beautiful. The highlight dish for me was definitely the Butternut Squash Agnolotti. Second to best was the dessert, Chocolate Budino. Props to all the culinary students putting in hard work.
