   Excellent food. More of a bar than a restaurant. Service was attentive and friendly. I recommend for a casual meal.

   The food was great and the waiter was very appropriate, nice and polite. It was a fun little dinner. Towards the end when we were paying for our bill last night 10/17/2023 around 8-830, the waiter had processed someone else’s bill on my card rather than mine. The bill was about $10 less than my bill which wasn’t a problem. People make mistakes. What threw me off was that there wasn’t an alternative way to go about the mistake. I paid for a $140 meal mistakenly and then had to pay again, $155 right after because my bank had already processed both payments. What really concerned me is that the waiter didn’t ask or allow me to sign the second transaction or let me to tip myself, he tipped himself for me so that was very concerning and didn’t sit right with me. I asked him what about signature and tip? He said “oh I just processed 18% tip because I figured you guys wouldn’t want to tip more than that because I messed up you payment the first time”. This made me uncomfortable because he took money from me without my consent and without my awareness of it. I felt robbed and like I didn’t have a say in the money being taken from me considering tip wasn’t included already and wasn’t mandatory. I think Gather needs to be careful and aware of that type of things because waiters should not be tipping themselves with other people’s money. I hope they talk with him about it and don’t allow that again. Thanks

   Great location. Bit overpriced and service was either rushed or non-existent. Ordered the calamari and it only had 6 pieces and the rest were peppers. Oysters came with bland sauce. For the price, the lobster roll was small. Mango salad was very good.

   The server was lovely. None of this is because of her…The food is so so. The area is really nice. But the food and rickety chairs….the drinks have very little alcohol. We asked for extra crisps for the tuna tartare and were charged $2, like not cool. And the mocktails are $11 for juice! I think this is a prime spot to make a lot of money and then sell. We had fun, but not because of the food and drinks. Too bad.

   received a very soggy burger didn’t even finish it we took a bite and the whole burger fell apart. We asked for a different bun and just couldn’t eat it because by the end of it all the burger looked like we were little kids playing with our food. Digging in my nails to get all the food out, Transferring it to a different bun everything was just falling apart. To finish it all we still ended up having to pay for a burger we played with and didn’t eat.. Very unprofessional.

    Made a resy for a Barbie themed brunch and the only barbie aspect was a few pink drinks no decor or food involved. If we didn’t sign up for this we would have had no idea. Lack of effort overall and the food was very bland
