Was PaulM at Gather a mag?
Excellent everything. I've eaten at GATHER before and they never disappoint. This last time it was rather busy and yet the service was still good. Great restaurant! View all feedback.
What OpenTable Diner dislikes about Gather:
Had to send the first drink back because it was pure sugar. Second drink was pink sparkling but it was not pink and was totally flat. The sauce on the panisse tasted scorched and needed salt. The corn soup was brown and didn’t taste like any vegetable we could identify. At this point, we canceled the rest of the meal and asked for the check. Service was ok. But if you want good vegetarian, Millennium is 13 mins away... View all feedback.

We love to gather. their brunch and dinner menu have a tonne vegan options and can also be adjusted vegan. fresh products, mostly organic and great taste profiles for eating. conveniently located in the city of berkeley and very friendly staff.
It's been a few years since we last had dinner there. everything was good, but nothing special. I wish they would expand the menu a bit with a little more Entrée options
The fries were pretty lackluster. And the quinoa and lentil bowl was very underwhelming and mushy without much flavor. I could make a much better one at home.
On one of the coldest and rainiest days in Berkeley history, they insisted on keeping the door to outside dinning open. There was some pathetic excuse of fire safety given which was pure BS as we had been told earlier it was for the servers convenience. Wearing multiple layers and a down coat and still being frozen to the bone is not exactly how one wants to eat a delicious meal. Had we not been meeting friends, we would have left. Not happy. I guess we can only go in warm weather.

If you like a simple, restrained menu of cocktails, locally grown produce and wood oven pizza and grilled meats such as chicken, you'll love this place. That patio is particularly nice on warmer nights and the inside has a nice open feel. Service was attentive. A great place to gather for families or colleagues. Conveniently located in downtown Berkeley.
The woman who sat us and our wait person were phenomenal! I wish I remembered their names, but kudos to them. The food was very good. The noise level was a little high, but we enjoyed the glee that a table of women friends seated next to us were experiencing. It just made it a bit harder to hear our table conversation. The whole concept of Gather is one I highly respect and support!

Reservation was for 5:30pm and was placed in the back corner. There was little, to no other dining guest, that were outside until about 7pm. The host said everything was booked. Hard to believe her. Poor experience. Maybe ask for special seating request when reserving?

Gather has changed its menu and no longer serves the kale salad, but we had the asparagus salad and the deep fried artichokes instead and they were excellent! We had theater tickets, so we were pressed for time, but we ordered the grilled rib eye and it was perfect! They came with smashed roasted potatoes and grilled ramps. Oh my! Fabulous job with the food and the service. Our server was warm, friendly and efficient. She also knew the menu well and the preparation of each dish. Terrific overall experience. Will be back again soon.
We were seated less than an hour before close of service on a Sunday night. We were greeted warmly and seated promptly despite not having a reservation. We never felt rushed. Our server warned us politely that the kitchen was going to close even though we had plenty of food and assured us dessert would be available for the rest of the evening. The list of unusual cordials (some made in house, even) was refreshing to see. A lot of places put very little thought into this category. I chose a Swedish selection. It was the perfect way to fishing off a flawless meal. Will return if ever in the area again.
This is my favorite restaurant. Their vegan spicy tomato pizza was the best pizza I've ever had, and that was even before I went vegan. I like that there's an interesting variety of menu items.
Always have a great meal here. Today was a soup and sandwich day. I had chickpea soup and the grilled cheese sandwich. Both were excellent.
How can a little gems salad be so delicious? Seeds, radishes, some other stuff: soooo good. Brussels sprouts crispy with cashew paste and orange miso: holy ****. And the pizza is outrageously good too. Oh yeah: as a non drinker, I think they have the best 0%abv 'mocktails ' anywhere. Go eat and drink here!!!

Pricy and nasty. Cold leathery eggs, weirdly seasoned and cooked to death felafel and sausage patties. Threw away. Good salad.
Chocolate chip cookies Chefs Cookies of the Day were really tasty and warm. The Falafel Burger was super dry and bitter. The Marin Sun Farms Cheeseburger was underwhelming. No char on the burger. Fries were bland and over fried. Homemade ketchup was tasty. Hoping there are better items on the menu so we can order more cookies.
The local lettuce salad just might be the best deal on DoorDash. It never disappoints.
I just LOVE the Spicy Tomato Pizza!!! Even though its a bit of a distance from my house, its so easy to warm up in the oven and it tastes just as delicious (if not better to me) as if I were eating it in the restaurant. Only downside is you can order it with pepperoni in store (FIRE) but theres no pepperoni option in the app.
