What a wonderful restaurant l! We we walked in Just a few minutes before 2 pm and they graciously welcomed us. The service was outstanding during our whole meal. There were accommodating to ourparty of four including a wheelchair.. I asked them for recommendations on dishes to eat and all of the dishes they recommended were spot on. We enjoyed the hamburger, Quinoa salad with chicken, cauliflower soup ,hamburger with fries As well as the deviled eggs as an appetizer. We were the last customers In the restaurant and they patiently waited for us as we finished our meal. We definitely will need to go visit this Restaurant on our next visit to Berkeley .

This spot in Berkeley has a playful and unique feel with both indoor and outdoor seating available. The sandwiches are filling without being overwhelming, and the pricing feels fair for the area. It is a great place to stop for a meal while exploring the nearby campus or checking out the modern art museum.

We hosted our wedding reception at Gather this weekend and it was fabulous!

Jodi, Chef Matt, Kurt, and their team are so exceptionally kind and attentive. We were lucky enough to work closed with Mika and Ivan who were so attentive, responsive and helpful with everything. Gather accommodated every food allergy request and gave us generous creativity to customize the drinks and food menu. Our top favorite recommendations on the menu: spicy tomato pizza with cashew puree, harvest bowl, corn soup, and of course all the perfectly roasted veggies!!!!

The indoor space has a delightful balance of natural light, greenery, and wood and the outside garden is fabulous in the summer.

We can’t wait for future celebrations at Gather and feel so grateful for the kind service and delicious memories we shared there.

The tomato pizza was absolutely phenomenal—bursting with flavor and taken to another level by the spicy chili oil and velvety cashew cream. It struck the perfect balance of heat and richness.

Their local lettuce side dish was a surprisingly refreshing highlight—crisp, fresh, and full of character.

The ambience was warm and thoughtfully designed, and the service made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we walked in.

Really delightful food and atmosphere here. Service was friendly. Nothing too special. The outdoor courtyard is the best. Inside is a bit too noisy. Great spot for brunch. Food is super tasty! The brunch pizza was creative and super flavorful.

Whether it’s date night, lunch with co-workers, girls’ night out, hanging with friends or simply a nice relaxing meal, @gatherberkeley is the perfect spot for those occasions.

We had a fun night chatting and enjoying the delicious food and drinks. Their Pomegranate Mule and Blood Orange Spritz was so refreshing. Their Crispy Cauliflower is a must-order! So good! Their steak, pizza, and burgers were yummy and juicy.

Don’t forget dessert, the Warm Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding was sinfully delicious! I’ll come back just for that.

I have never done two things before last night: send food back to the kitchen (more than once!) or write a Google review. When we arrived, just after 4, there were only a few tables filled. The host asked if we had a reservation, and when we said we didn’t, she said she could only seat us at the bar overlooking the food prep area. My partner was puzzled by this, but I assured her that they likely had a lot of reservations coming up. However, the place was only about 1/4 full by the time we left. I hadn’t eaten anything since breakfast, so I was pretty hungry. I ordered the grapefruit tonic and the harvest bowl because I eat rice bowls all the time and hoped it would be a comforting and nourishing dish. My partner ordered the salmon. As we waited, we debated and finally decided on adding an order of the bacon-wrapped dates as well. The grapefruit tonic was refreshing, and I enjoyed it, though I don’t think it was worth $9 for a bit of sparkling grapefruit juice and a sprig of thyme. The dates arrived, and we were excited to dive in. They were stuffed with bland sausage, wrapped in bacon, and set on pepper sauce—fine, but not worth $16. The meals arrived as we were just starting on the dates. My partner said her salmon was decent, but there were hardly any vegetables to go with it, and the ones that were there tasted strongly of cooking oil. My harvest bowl, on the other hand, was inedible. I kept trying to eat it, but all I could taste was stale cooking oil. I ate the hardboiled egg, which was perfectly fine, but nothing else in the bowl had any flavor other than cooking oil. I was really nervous about telling the server I couldn’t eat the dish because I was raised to eat whatever I was given, so I usually find a way to choke down almost anything. I was also raised to be deferential to waitstaff, so it was quite a challenge to speak up for myself. I did so nervously, apologizing to her, and she seemed OK with it and took the dish away and asked me if I’d like anything else. I decided to order a gluten free pizza because I figured it’d be hard to mess that up, and it also shouldn’t have a lot of cooking oil on it. Plus, I thought, it’d be good to have some leftovers. The pizza arrived quickly. However, I took one bite of it, and was shocked at how bad it was — it was simply inedible. The sausage felt rubbery and almost raw in my mouth in addition to being completely flavorless and oily. The sauce and cheese had no flavor, and the crust was one of the worst gluten-free crusts I’ve ever had in over 16 years of being gluten-free. I think the server may have overheard me exclaim to my partner in shock, “this is awful!” and she came over and asked how things were. All of my socialization kicked in, and I told her it was fine, then I tried a few more times to pick at the slice of pizza. At this point, I’d lost my appetite and felt pretty disappointed, so we asked for the check. When the server asked if I wanted a box for the pizza, I told her no and I apologized and let her know that I also found it inedible. (I didn’t tell her this, but I didn’t even want to bring the pizza leftovers home for my dog!) I am very appreciative that she removed the two worst items from our bill, but I ended up paying over $83 for some grapefruit juice with thyme, 2 dates, and a hardboiled egg (plus my partner’s salmon). I understand that people have different tastes in food, but I cannot understand how anyone finds this edible or worth the price. Maybe I just got extremely unlucky with the dishes I ordered, or something was off with the cooking oil last night? I’m genuinely uncertain whether this was a catastrophic off-night for the kitchen or a consistent problem, but either way, I can’t recommend it based on what I experienced. At least I got some practice speaking up for myself. Is that worth $83? I’m not so sure.

Great restaurant for lunch. Food was delicious. We did family style and had the deviled eggs, ahi tuna, pepperoni pizza, and butternut squash soup. All were so good I can’t pick a favorite. Service was great.

Fun and quirky restaurant in Berkeley with inside and outside dining. The sandwich sizes were perfect and the price was reasonable for Berkeley. Helpful Hint: Take a tour of the nearby modern art museum or the college and enjoy lunch before or after your tour.
