Our return visit was every bit as wonderful as the first two. We had a large party of ten for brunch and everything was divine, which is a difficult mission for most places to manage. The food, service and drinks were all on point. Even the toddlers were very happy with their Nutella waffles!! Can't wait to go back!! read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for years. Went there last week with a party of five. And had the worst meal i have ever had there sent my first meal back ordered something else the skirt steak that i have had many times and it was fatty and tough Something wasn't right did they change chefs because i never had a bad meal there before very disappointed because it use to be one of my favorites read more

I love coming here, it's so cute and love the views of the marina. Last night I walked in and they were doing music bingo which was fun, I joined later and didn't win but they do give out some prizes so makes it exciting. I wanted to try the sizzle menu before it went away so I stopped in and enjoyed a delicious meal. I started off with the Brussels sprouts. I'm still kinda new to liking them but the sauce and nuts on them too were really tasty! For my entee I had the hot sausage rigatoni and it was so good, I ate every bite! And for dessert I tried crème brûlée for the first time ever. Boy have k been missing out. I could have licked that plate clean haha. I also tried the she's a fairy which is an espresso martini but with ube and it was so good. They layer the top with this foam which is kinda marshmellowy and so good. I say at the bar and the service was great, the other staff members were very helpful too always taking my plates and even helped box up some leftover for me! Can't wait for my next meal at gather! read more

It's always a pleasure to enjoy the food at the Gather and to drop in Next Door. The food is always on point, never let down, and the company is even better! Happy Birthday Rebecca Chef John really did a great job with the meal to accompany the bourbon that was provided as a tasting and this course meal was just enough food to cover the spirits and was enjoyed by all. Make sure you plug-in to these restaurants for future events.! read more

Found this restaurant online and glad we came. Our server did a really great job and he handled our group of six very well. Only downside is this place can get really loud as it's a smaller room and echos quite a bit. But the food we enjoyed and made up for the noise. Crafted cocktails were well done and unique. read more

Gather is an amazing little spot with fresh food, including vegan and gluten-free options. We went for brunch and the location is lovely and right on the water. It was hot outside so we sat inside this time. There were six in our party and we had the pleasure of having Delaney as our guide through this brunch journey. She mas wonderful recommendations based on our wants, individual allergies, and dislikes. Despite a packed house, Delaney was the most attentive server. She checked in regularly and made sure everything that came out was to our liking. The cornbread nuggets with the bacon and onion chutney were amazing and I ate the entire plate. This is rare for me but it was THAT good. Everyone enjoyed their meal. It was delicious and reasonably priced. We would go back for sure. There's something for everyone. read more

We went to this place for the first time, and everything was really good! My family enjoyed it so much -- for the first time ever, we actually finished every single dish and cleared every plate. read more

Just over all, Meh. Our server was nice but she appeared overwhelmed. The drinks took so long to get. The octopus appetizer was just OK, the Brussel sprouts were probable the best thing we had but they did need salt. All of the entrees were nothing special at all. The shrimp pasta was flavorless and the noodles overcooked. The Halibut was average. It took entirely too long for our drinks and food. Sitting outside was pleasant and we met some fun people who also agreed that there was nothing special about the food or experience. For the price we paid, I was disappointed. We will not be back. read more

Went for 7 pm reservation, finally got food 8:45 pm. Server seemed uninterested in us. Took drink orders after 20m in wait. Took another 20 to get drinks. Food took over an hour to be delivered. He did not check on us, we had to flag people down to get him back (could have sold us more drinks:)). After 2 hours and 45 min walked in to find someone to take our money. He was sitting at a table laughing it up with other people. I understand busy times and being overwhelmed but restaurant was not that busy. I would have appreciated any communication from him, but only came to table 2.5 times after asking for him. Another gentleman said service was horrible for him as well and wanted something to be compted but they declined. Very disappointed. read more

Always a fabulous dining experience. Enjoy the ambience. It's definitely cold inside, dress appropriately. Lovely knowledgeable staff. The menu is constantly changing, which I enjoy. Great wine list and cocktail menu. They usually have daily specials. A nice happy hour too. read more

So let me tell you the reason why this place is a 3. We started off in an extremely noisy room with horrible acoustics. They did move us into the other room to a high top table, it was much better, however the pierogis were rubbery, and both of my friends Halibuts were terrible. One just tasted too fishy & the other tasted like a fried chicken finger! Even her crème brûlée for dessert was burnt! On the other hand, my halibut was absolutely delicious! My other friends chicken was cooked to perfection...Plus the drinks were very tasty! The waiter took off one of the halibuts, rightfully so, but the owner came out to his reserved family table, next to us, & didn't say a word. You can't just have good food, good service, & a nice looking place, you need to have owners/managers that are polite & respectful of their patrons. So when someone asks me, do you recommend Gather? Sadly, I have to say no, due to the fact that the owner sat there, watched us & wasn't even friendly. Sweetness goes a long way, especially in the restaurant business! Xoxo read more

Fantastic dinner at Gather on Christmas Eve. We were a party of three and shared a salad. They make everything from scratch including their handmade pastas. The rigatoni was excellent as was the blackened cod and the squid ink linguine. For dessert, we shared an amazing vanilla crème brûlée. The service was outstanding. We will definitely be back again. read more

15 February 2024 Cape Coral , Florida Decided to try a new dinning establishment in the Cape and went to "NEXT DOOR" at the southern tip of the Cape Coral , an area called Cape Harbour ... Once inside , the Maitre D' informed us that without reservations we can not be seated. Harrumph !? We left ... and went next door to "Gather" restaurant. Gather appeared to be much more welcoming and quickly invited us in and seated us at a table. Scanning the menu I decided to try the spicy shrimp & sausages. Service was quick and efficient. My bowl of shrimp and sausages was covered in a spicy sauce with two slices of toasted bread. The dish was as advertised ... SPICY ! I love spicy foods and enjoyed every bite. My companion ordered the Grouper. As the Grouper was served I quickly helped myself by reaching over to steal a bite. Bad manners , I know , but it was worth it because the Grouper was delicious. I will definitely order the Grouper at a future visit. I give Gather 5 Stars. Ambiance, service , efficiency, quality of food and the savory taste of the food. Oh , and presentation was on point. Oh , and the name Gather implies a gathering place. Well the restaurant includes sofas and lounging areas and a Bar where people can gather , sip some wine or enjoy a cocktail before or after dinner. There is also outside dinning with stunning Sunset views. Yeah , I'll be back. This was my first visit to Gather but won't be my last. Street Parking is somewhat iffy so come early or park in a nearby garage. read more

Went for dinner last night at the bar and it was fantastic! Really beautiful decor inside, relaxing and modern. Bartender was friendly and d helpful. Everything is made from scratch and you can tell. The food quality is outstanding. The chefs are creative and I liked so many things on the menu which is rare. Wednesday was 1/2 price wine night so that was a great bonus! I miss northeast Italian food and this was even better than some of the Philly and New York Italian restaurants. And the portions are a good size. I can't wait to go back! read more

We hosted our third & final wedding celebration with our closest SWFL friends at Gather last weekend. It was a FANTASTIC time. Apologies to all of the other diners as I know our group was having way too much fun singing along with the live musician, but he was playing all the crowd favorites and knew it. The service was top notch and our table location (a large high top near the bar) was perfect for our group. We had a blast. We ordered one of every appetizer and two of every dessert. The Spicy AF margarita (true to its name) was to die for and the espresso martini!?! OMG - heavenly. I had to pace myself because it was way to easy to drink. Some of our favorite appetizers... SPICY SHRIMP Chorizo/ Cilantro/ Lime/ Seared Bread Really flavorful and perfectly cooked shrimp - good portion size! Chorizo paired nicely and added depth to the dish! AHI TUNA TATAKI Edamame/ Seaweed Salad/ Mango/ Ponzu/ Avocado/ Wasabi Aioli FRESH AF. Straight from the sea and the ponzu was savory goodness. CRISPY BRUSSELS SPROUTS Roasted Cashews/Sriracha Miso Glaze This was everyone's hands down favorite and 80% of the group is carnivores so that was unexpected. Flavor was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Our favorite dessert was the COCONUT OPERA Almond Sponge/ Dark Chocolate Ganache/ Buttercream/ Whipped White Chocolate/ Coconut Sorbet. ; honestly it tasted like a big smore cake! LOL 10/10 recommend Gather - hopefully they'll have us back one day read more

Gather used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Cape; sadly last night we had the worst experience, I ordered a Sangria cocktail and it looked like a 5oz pouring of wine; then I order a beer they forgot about it; the service was very slow. I had the agnolotti pasta and not only took forever it was dry, burnt and tasted like frozen box food, my husband had a paella that was more like risotto; not color not flavor. After a very expensive dinner the question is how can your favorite pasta become the worst pasta you ever had. To top the food and service one of the singers wanted complete silence while he was talking and said: "If you wanna talk you can go outside". Not going back read more

Gather - BBL craft cocktail - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

Gather is a waterfront restaurant located in the marina village at Tarpon Point Marina. They have a small outside dining footprint and a larger inside dining room. We were a party of four Saturday evening. The indoor ambiance is casually minimalist with some stand-out lighting fixtures and original art available for sale on the walls. The space is suitable for celebrations and groups with the caveat that the noise level is loud and dinner conversation requires effort to be heard. This was our first visit and the table-wide consensus was the starters were the stars of the meal. Both the Wagyu Empanadas and Spicy Shrimp were exceptional. There were very serious discussions about dining on starters for the entirety of future meals. They were memorable in all the best ways. Entrees ordered included a couple Gather Rigatonis, Grouper and Seafood Paella. All were good and perfectly acceptable. But the starters were a tough act to follow and the entrees didn't stand out as much. read more

Sat here on a not so busy day. Sat outside with family. Beautiful view. Food was delicious I ordered the ayce pasta not sure what it was called. Kind of sucks that you order first dish how you like (protein) but second dish you have to pay for protein and so forth so basically it's not really an ayce haha because you're paying for protein which is $12-20 something on top of the regular price and if you don't get protein it'd just pasta and sauce... Anyways. Our server was nice however she kept forgetting orders. Our apps came out after our dish which she forgot to put in. We got fries for kids and that never came. read more

Brunch with friends and family. The food was excellent. In house made spicy gravy with fresh made biscuits and eggs was first rate. The combination breakfasts were also excellent. The bottomless beverages were nice and enjoyed by all. The service was attentive and very good, even with a packed dining room. Interesting decor and vibe. A bit bohemian but not dark and with nautical artwork. The one major downfall is the EXTREME loudness. They need to do some acoustic management or hand out earplugs. read more

I would recommend GATHER, for its food, decor, ambiance, and attentive (and very kind) service. Both Kathleen and Ben (with an enthusiastic and lovely staff) made us feel more than welcome. The view is great. Our tuna tataki, and shrimp & grits were scrumptious. Food delivery was prompt, and gracious. If I were to suggest any improvements, they would be minor. Perhaps finding a way to lower the decibel level when the acoustics begin to accelerate would be one. But the food and service staff, combined with highly creative lighting, gorgeous backsplash, and clever comments written on the pillars, more than compensate! We'll be back...for sure! read more

The fact that this place wasn't more packed is actually a huge crime. The service was great, our waiter was super friendly, and the food was phenomenal. It's a scratch kitchen with a fancy vibe, but it wasn't pretentious at all. The food was just really good quality, and sourced locally (the waiter told us that their produce comes from a farm in Bonita Springs). Everything tasted super fresh. The charcuterie was phenomenal. Four different kinds of meat and five different kinds of cheese. All of the meat was pork, but none of it had the gamey-ness that charcuterie pork can sometimes have. The cheese was just fantastic. That triple crème brie was insane, as was the hard sheep cheese, which was kind of similar to a manchego. The empanadas were perfect little bites, fried perfectly, served super warm, and the chipotle aïoli wasn't too spicy, but perfectly complemented the meat. The drinks were also amazing, as was the octopus which was kind of served in like a hash situation that was almost like breakfast-y in a really good way! The potatoes were like patatas bravas, and the sauce was perfectly spicy. Not to mention the interior was beautiful, with a really cool, relaxed, kind of vibe that would be perfect for a date night or a night out with friends. Our cocktails were great, but honestly, the entire cocktail menu sounded amazing. Overall, we had such an amazing experience and will definitely be becoming here again! If you're struggling to decide whether you should go here, just do it. read more

Was very excited when I saw the menu but very disappointed with execution. Ordered the pork belly sticky bun and pork belly Ramen. Pork belly, steam bun was very basic pork was good. For the steam bun was good. The sauce they served on the side was very good, but it was that and plain cabbage on the plate. The Ramen had Ramen noodles, couple of mushrooms, very few pieces of cabbage and three pieces of pork. It is not a soup looked like they took some of the glaze for the pork for the pork belly mixed with just enough water to coat the noodles. The only thing Ramen about it was tge noodles. read more

Had an incredible experience today at Gather. Silver took such good care of us. You can tell she loves what she does. She was so passionate about the food and drinks. It made for a lovely experience for us. The rest of the staff is so kind too. The food runner was very sweet and made it a point to tell me about the restaurant. Now, the food and drinks were incredible. Everything tasted fresh and yummy. We were in love with every bite. Don't skip on dessert (crème brûlée). We LOVED it! Don't wait, come try this place out! I'm so happy I did. read more

We recently visited Gather for a birthday dinner. This was our second time having gone before for their Happy Hour. We were impressed with that 1st visit so we decided to go back for dinner. This second time we left not so thrilled. The service was off par. The food was good. Can't say excellent, some of the dishes were missing that wow factor. Especially, when paying $$30-$40 per plate. We had 2 waiters assigned to our party of 6. Which at first we were impressed. But they never came back to refill our waters or ask if we wanted additional beverages. They lost out on revenue because we really wanted to celebrate. I must also say we went in late, so most tables were leaving. The final kicker was both waiters happened to forget the birthday celebration, as they were advised when we sat down. And we advised when we made the reservation. And it wasn't we were expecting something grand, but a simple ice cream scoop with a candle would have sufficed. I guess the service didn't matter as our tip was included on the bill. We will not be visiting this establishment again. read more

This is an awesome and trendy place with great food. Best bottomless brunch special in the area for $15 bloodies/mimosas. They don't skimp out either. It's in tarpon point marina with great views. One thing I'd recommend to Gather management is having music for outside seating. We sat out there recently and it's so quiet. Background music would be a small tweak that makes a huge difference in the vibes. read more

We went for my birthday. Location: 10/10 Beautiful views of the marina and very nice vibe Drinks: 8/10 Would be 10/10 except I think $17 for a cocktail is steep. Staff: 10/10 Food: 2/10 We ordered the meatballs for an app. No flavor at all. They definitely used a lean ground beef, which isn't bad but they were a bit chewy and lacked any salt. I'm sure that the idea was that the red sauce they were served with would add that flavor but it didn't. I ordered the beef short ribs. I was excited because it came with Mac and cheese. However, once I tried it, it again lacked any type of flavor at all. No salt. The cheese sauce was very sparse... too dry. The beef texture was good! However. Again. No flavor. No salt. No acid. It tasted like straight beef. My significant other ordered the octopus. He enjoyed it. He said the texture was perfect. However, he said it also lacked any type of seasoning. Overall, I'd say for the grand total of over $150 I am disappointed and won't be rushing back for dinner. Maybe I'd come back for drinks but even then I can think of other bars with drinks just as good with better prices ‍ read more

Service was terrible looked like only one waitress for whole restaurant and she was up at the coffee bar every time we needed something. We ordered two salads and one had no added protein it was just lettuce and tomato for 16$. The dressing was also very sparse. I had the Brussel sprouts appetizer and it was like they were soaked in salt not edible. My daughter got the ink pasta with crab barely any crab to be found and absolutely NO flavor at all ! read more

This is a special occasion favorite of ours. We have come here on father's day and birthdays and we have enjoyed it very much. We found that their brunch menu was reasonable and had a lot of delicious options. The meatballs are a must! We love their freshly made pasta but we mostly love the atmosphere and the drinks. The staff is always friendly, we've made reservations anytime we go there to avoid any wait time. We've had many items on their brunch and main menu, there is not one thing we didn't like. The view is amazing too, right on off of the water. Wish the menu was more extensive. read more
