Both burgers were very tasty and the accompanying fries were fresh and tasty. The chicken was a little on the dry side but the pesto was great. The tater tot side upgrade was a bad choice. They were overdone and pretty awful. We all opted for desert and the pies were soooo good. The lemon cloud was so refreshing and the strawberry peach was sweet and tart. The carrot cake was good but the frosting was too sweet and lacked flavor. The service was quick but the servers have a lot of tables so the waitress was not overly friendly or inviting. We felt like we were a task and not a guest. Would we go back? Yes but.....I would order differently and stick with the things that they are best at.

When we contacted both the catering manager and the owner, to discuss the details of the food we wanted, we were told one of the menus they provided was not an option. (The menu that we wanted to use). The owner was extremely unprofessional. She openly admitted she had made a mistake by sending the menu and "learned her lesson". When I then asked about using my deposit toward salads for the wedding, grooms supper or if I could use it for a future graduation party, I was rudely told NO. AND she would not reimburse my deposit, even tho she admitted that she was at fault. They handled this situation unprofessionally and in a rude manner. I would never trust Tutti Fruitti for a catering event.

ATMOSPHERE: As seen in the picture attached, it's very modern while also being country farmhouse. Lots of white trim and stained wood. Super cute accent wall with the "Gather" name as well. Felt inviting and homey. PRICE: Prices were average for a higher end coffee shop. My medium iced cold press with salted caramel was $4. I wasn't even charged extra for the flavor! DRINK: They have so many flavor shots that you can't go wrong with finding a flavor you'll love.

I've been to the Palmer House a few times before, but I went again this past October. I took a…read morespirit hunting tour of the basement again, but this time, the tour guide was terrible! They were 40 minutes late even starting - getting people signed in, which they really need to consider doing in the 15 minutes ahead of the scheduled time since everyone was there waiting... Then she sat on the bar with her Halloween leggings (it was gross) and pretty much said nothing important or useful for another 30 minutes. When we FINALLY got in the basement, she didn't even have batteries in the equipment, which she blamed on her grandson... It's not his job to check equipment before a tour people are paying $50 a pop for! The tour was also WAY too big (about 30 people with one guide). She sat on one side of the room and talked fairly quietly so our side of the room couldn't hear her the whole time. Twice people asked her to speak up, but she basically ignored them. One man was left alone in a room for so long, that he got angry and asked to be let upstairs because "he could sit alone in the dark in his friends' basement for as long as he wanted for free." Then, after he left, she made fun of him and called him "Mr. Grumpy" like 3 times. It was the most unprofessional situation of any of my trips there. I agreed with him too - the guide was not even trying to engage with spirits. She asked them maybe 7 questions and was quite (or whispering with the few people around her - which none of us could hear). There was no real effort on her part. This woman, who dressed like a slob even, should not be part of this tour. She was even a rude bartender. She should not be working here - the spirits even hid from her! For what my friends and I paid, it needed to be run way more professional. (Other times there was equipment for us to play with, there were guides that had the correct attitude, they didn't leave people in dark rooms on their own without flashlights to get out for so long, they interacted with the people and the spirits, they actually liked people, knew what they were doing and talking about, and wanted to be there!) Again, prior tours were so much better than this recent one last month, so my review is about this employee, not the hotel itself; but she really did ruin the experience for many of us - who I chatted with afterwards. I don't know her name, but hopefully Kelly can figure this one out. She, with her negative attitude, needs to go! I've taken a few weeks to reconsider even posting this, and, well, I'm still angry, so here it is... The rest of the staff were pleasant and accommodating, like usual.
