Poor staffing for a Friday night. One bartender for bar and house. So very slow drink service.

I thought Gather was a cool little place and definitely would return. The wine selection was really good and the food was high-quality. The servers were friendly and helpful, overall a very good experience.

Matt Barnes is back to his intimate dining similar to when Saucy Bistro was in River before moving to Westlake. Great cocktails and service

Our food and drinks were great! However , our reservation time slot was for longer than the restaurant was open, which we did not realize until we got there and we’re notified that the kitchen was closing.

The food was pretty good but not at all worth the cost. You can get a very similar experience in the same area for half the price. We had a reservation on NYE. Our table was still occupied when we got there (amateur mistake but a passable one on such a busy night.) They had two waiters for the entire place and we sat for 15-20 minutes before our waiter addressed us. We again sat for 15-20 minutes with empty glasses before we got the check. The place has potential and I empathize with the waiters, but it was an unacceptable experience for a close to $150 dinner for two.

Nice menu. A something for everyone. I loved the Bittiker salad. My husband had the smash burger it was good, the meat was top shelf. The au gratin potatoes were really great! The drinks were good. Very clean interior,cute little bar area. We plan to come back to try more of the menu.

Great service. The food was average - bread was super flakey and while drinks were good, they weren’t very strong. Probably wouldn’t go again, but wouldn’t tell someone not to go.
