Everything we tried was delicious. Wheat pancakes where so wholesome, but light and fluffy still! Too many amazing options, we wanted to try everything. Also have great coffee from Thanksgiving Coffee Roasters

We met another couple here for dinner a week or so ago. It was their suggestion and close to their home. LOVED the name of it; simple, sweet. Yes, we gathered together to have a wonderful meal! It's close to a BART stop, too, so I do think it's an easy place for people to gather if you live in... More

Enjoyed a wonderful brunch there on the 2nd. They use local ingredients for the freshest flavors. Even if you are not a vegetarian you will find many choices. Our daughters loved the Hen of the Woods & Fontinella pizza's. My Bressica Scramble with leeks was out of this world. My husband ordered the egg breakfast sandwich and said it was... More

I had a cauliflower soup and a kale salad that I will remember forever. The restaurant is reasonably priced and very comfortable. I highly recommend!

We went there on a recommendation from our hotel. I've never before had the pleasure of a Vegan appetizer (Charcuterie), Hibiscus soda (house made) and Hen of the Woods pizza. What a delightful meal with excellent service. The dessert (Peanuts, Lime nougat with chocolate) was one that will be in my "best of the best" restaurant memories. I'm usually not... More

I ate dinner at Gather a few hours ago and loved it. The restaurant is bright and rustic, and the staff was very friendly. I ordered the kale salad, which was flavorful and unique, sort of a deconstructed salad. My companion ordered the homemade ginger soda which was spectacular; not too spicy. We shared the Hen of the Woods pizza,... More

Everything we tried on the menu was excellent. Beginning with the iced tea, to the soup, to the pizza. Our server was friendly and helpful. Prices were perfect for the quality. Appreciated the locally grown menu.

Been to Gather several times and really loved it on each occasion. First went there with a vegan friend but was surprised to see real , not fake, meat dishes on the menu too. The vegan and vegetarian dishes are wonderful, inventive, and very tasty. I never realized squash could taste so good! Reasonably priced but definitely book as always... More
