    Seasonal Frittata and Fritter & Eggs
    Serena P.

    visited on a sunday morning right when they opened. our server was very friendly and attentive. we were given the option of sitting outdoors or inside. our food came out quickly. i ordered the vegetable frittata and it was delicious. i asked for hot sauce and they provided a nice orange spicy sauce. food was good portions.

    We came here for brunch over the weekend and were very impressed! They food was tasty and the prices were really reasonable. They also had really good drinks! They have a pretty large space and I love the windows all around which let a lot of natural light in. Our waiter was very friendly and was able to explain some things from the menu for us. Can't wait to come back again!

    Spicy Tomato Pizza
    Alex M.

    Gather nails the farm-to-table concept and was very highly recommended by my vegetarian friends. We came here after class one day; even with our last-minute planning, we were able to secure a table for the six of us that evening. We shared a plate of the tossed green salad and crispy Brussels sprouts, in addition to two pizzas - Fun-Gi and the Spicy Tomato. The crispy Brussels sprouts stole the show - the deep-frying created a smoky flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture that was equally loved by vegetarians and non-vegetarians in the group. The tossed salad was decent; the lettuce was heavily coated with oily dressing, which I think could have used more acidity. The Fun-Gi pizza was our favorite of the two pies - the hint of truffle oil and rosemary took this mushroom pizza to the next level. I also loved the light and airy crust, which had the perfect amount of crispiness. I wasn't as much of a fan of the Spicy Tomato pizza; while I really liked the unexpected sweetness from the tapenade, the cashew cream drizzle seemed out-of-place. The ambiance of the restaurant was whimsical and warm, providing the perfect backdrop for my friends to linger over our meal. The outdoor seating also looked very charming, and I imagine it would be nice to dine here on a warm, summer evening.

    Shakshouka

    Came here for lunch on a lovely Saturday morning. Always passed by on the way to class but never had a chance to try. Interior is very brightly lit and gives farm to table vibes. Service was a bit lackluster. Took a while to get someone's attention so that we could order. We got the chef's pizza and shakshouka to share between two people. Wish I had read the reviews beforehand to choose another pizza because the chef's pizza, which sounded really fancy on the menu, was a bit underwhelming, even though it was one of the more expensive ones. Just cheese with some veggies. Crust was good but nothing crazy. I'd want to try their spicy tomato pizza though. Looks very unique. Shakshouka was also good but nothing special. Just eggs in some tomato sauce. They only gave two pieces of sourdough to dip it in so we had to ask for more, which also took a while. When we finished, it took a while to get a box for the leftover pizza and to ask for the check. Overall nice food and ambiance, but service needs some improvement.

    Roasted Chicken Sandwich
    Adam O.

    Loved the the patio area and thought the food was really good. I enjoyed the tuna but it is on the lighter side. My wife thought the roasted chicken sandwich was really good. They have a roasted mushroom sandwich that looks great as well.

    Been a minute since l last went to Gather. I made reservations via OpenTable for 6 easily. The table was ready when arrived. The service could have been better. After getting food, server didn't come back for awhile to check on table. Then took forever to get the check. I got the garden burger and the focaccia fell apart. I didn't have the pizza but they said it wasn't cooked all the way. Street parking/garage nearby.

    Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
    Kimi C.

    even on a weekday during midday, the place was popping! small crowd & line out the door but everyone was friendly and made sure we were accounted for. the food was presented nicely, and very well-balanced flavors. butternut squash soup was a favorite & the pizza was a nice delicate crisp. i liked how it wasn't your typical marinara sauce but even with the white sauce, it didn't feel particularly heavy either. such a great pizza combo & vegetarian friendly!

    Marin Sun Farms Double Smash Burger, gluten free, and fries (gluten free)

    My family and I went to an early dinner at "Gather", because we were out running errands nearby and finished much sooner than we'd anticipated. We really enjoyed it! First of all, they have a lot of gluten free options, and are able to accommodate celiacs and those with serious gluten allergies. One of my family members cannot have gluten, or even food that is cross contaminated. They cook their gluten free pizzas in a separate area from the regular pizzas, and their fries are made in a fryer that is not used to fry anything else. They have gluten free burgers (a choice of a gluten free bun or served as a lettuce wrap) as well. I got a happy hour cocktail; something with tequila in it, and it was yummy. We had a couple of appetizers: my daughter and I shared the mussels ($17, for a lot of them) and the others had the deviled eggs ($10 for only three halves). The mussels were good. My wife says that the eggs were excellent. A couple of us ordered the 1/2 chicken, which was of really good quality. It had yummy crispy skin, and was served with broccolini and over a homemade mole sauce. One of my sons asked for hot sauce, and they brought some; also home made. It wasn't that hot, but it was tasty. The rest of the fam ordered pizza and burgers. Everything was good, by all accounts. (The "cheese pizza" had tomatoes and shallots on it, FYI). The highlight of the early evening was the dessert: ice cream, made by Strauss Organic in Marin County. It was SOOOOOO good. I recommend the "Cookie Dough" flavor, which also has strawberries in it. The ambiance was casual but slightly upscale. The service was excellent. Our server had me wanting to order one of everything (and we did order a lot)!

    Ambience
    Robert L.

    Food was delicious and service was prompt and very accommodating. We were seated outside and it was perfect ambience. I ordered the Roasted Corn Soup and Tuna and for cocktails, I enjoyed the Bloom and Blush very good! Overall, highly recommended... by the way prized reasonably.

    Anand P.

    Super delicious pizzas!! Definitely worth trying them all but their classic cheese is definitely my fave. They also have a full bar with some awesome cocktails. The staff is super friendly and they have a great outdoor patio for people interested in outdoor dining!

    First Class
    Matt D.

    Ducked into this place on Saturday before a concert, and were able to be seated immediately at the bar. There, Antonio took care of us with some delicious mixed drinks. I got the First Class which was so good it was gone before I knew it! My wife got a Cucumber Mint Spritz which was refreshingly not super sweet. I finished the night with a classic Old Fasioned and it was made perfectly. For food we had the roasted carrots (delicious) and an extremely good pizza. It was the Sopressetta Salami pizza and it hit so hard. I only wish there was a bit more of the calabrian chili sauce, but damn t was it good! There was a good amount of seating indoors and at the bar, and also some more outside. It filled up real quick as we were eating so I'm gonna assume a reservation is recommended.

    I've been to Gather a few times, and the food is consistently good. Inside, the ambiance is warm and cozy. Service is also great. Most food on their menu is tasty and flavorful. My favorites are Caesar salad and roasted half chicken.

    Are the pizzas big enough to share?

    Definitely. It would be a lot for 1 adult. Good for 2 adults or 2 kids and an adult. Delicious!

    Can we bring a small dog to eat outside in the patio?

    Yes you can!:)

    What kind of oils does the kitchen use?

    I like an answer from the Gather kitchen staff too. But if I'm going to take a guess..... most "organic" restaurants use canola oil. The mom-and-pop restaurants, operating on a shoestring, use soybean oils or a blend like corn/soybean or corn/canola… 

    How do you make a reservation for a party of 8 people? I've tried at least four ways to contact the restaurant.

    Can I bring my dog to the outside patio? Traveling with my small dog and just wondering. Thanks!

    I've seen a few folks with their dogs on the patio and they were not small.

    Do they offer any mimosas for brunch on the weekend?

    Yes they do

    Do you take reservations?

    Gather does not take reservations at this time, but notes in their website that they rarely have long wait times.

    Is there a corkage fee? If so, what is it?

    It's $20 per 750ml bottle and a minimum of two bottles per party.

    Hi, what are the vegan entree options on the dinner menu?

    According to the current menu, they are: Grilled Baby Cabbages, Heirloom Grains Cooked Like Risotto, and the Spicy Tomato pizza! There are also many vegan starters.

    Are there gluten free options for food?

    Yes! We also mark GF on our menu next to all gluten-free items. Our current dinner selection is mostly gluten free or can be made with no gluten, and our lunch and brunch menus are about 50/50.…

I tried to start a friendly conversation and ask a few questions about the drinks, however the responses I received were very brief and limited to only the drink names, which made the interaction feel unwelcoming. I also noticed that we were the only Latino guests there at the time, and throughout our visit we felt largely ignored. As a result, the overall atmosphere did not feel comfortable or inclusive to us. Based on this experience, I did not feel welcomed at this bar in Berkeley and would not recommend it. Even though we live only a few minutes away, it didn't feel like a place worth returning to or spending our time and money at.

For the appetizers, we got the caprese salad ($19), cheesy garlic bread ($14), chicken wings ($18), and BBQ pork riblets ($18). The caprese salad was one of my favorites. The spring mix was super fresh, and even though I'm not the biggest cheese fan, I really liked the fresh mozzarella. The vinaigrette had the perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors, making this a great spring or summer salad. The BBQ pork riblets and chicken wings were both a little dry. I liked the seasoning on the riblets, while the chicken wings were a bit lighter in flavor. The cheesy garlic bread was, as expected, super cheesy! I didn't realize the roasted garlic was served on the side, and personally wasn't the biggest fan of its flavor, but the focaccia itself had a great texture. We also shared the Aries ($22), Mercury ($21), and Cassiopeia ($25) pizzas. The Aries was a classic pepperoni pizza with a nice thin crust, and the Mercury was a margherita pizza. I liked the fresh tomatoes, although I wish there had been more basil. The Cassiopeia was my favorite of the three, and I can definitely see why it's so popular. The BBQ sauce was super flavorful and paired really well with the chicken and onions. Jupiter has a lively atmosphere and a really nice outdoor patio with live music, making it a fun spot for group dinners. I'd recommend making a reservation if you're coming with a larger group. Street parking is available nearby.
