Chef John sharing his passion
Todd Michael F.

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.!

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.

Really enjoyed our first time at Gather. Ate on the patio with the marina and sunset. Staff was great, super-friendly, and attentive. Salads, fish dinner, shrimp pasta, and drinks were great. The fried fish was so airy and crunchy. The spicy marg was nice.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fried chicken with Mac and cheese. Chicken was perfect and not heavy fry.

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!

Seafood paella, all of the seafood was cooked to perfection.
Dawn B.

Fine dining flavors casual atmosphere, amazing service. From craft cocktails to amazing desserts and everything in between. Don't skip the duck wings! We will definitely have to come back to work our way through the menu.

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

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

Fun coffee shop with tons of food and drink options, lots of seating and quick service!…read more Came on a busy morning and ordered the coffee flight - they have some pre picked or you can create your own. I picked my own and thought it was a fun way to try several of their lattes! I believe you can get it hot or iced but definitely dine in if you get this! I also got a breakfast crepe which was delicious, crispy, and filling. My husband got a bagel sandwich which was also huge! We loved everything we got and the menu is big enough that you could come several times and try new things. They have a back area with tons of seating too. Lots of folks were working on laptops and there were a few dogs. It was a bit pricey but seems par for the area. Overall, I'd definitely add this to my list of favorite spots in Fort Myers!

I tried the new location in downtown Ft Myers, near Publix off First Street…read more Simple decor, open space, and good for personal working areas. Complimentary water offered. I always try a Mocha at a new spot - the taste did not disappoint! Really delicious and well made, I have a few "special order asks", oat milk, half sweet, etc. And the barista did well. 4/5 due to price. I paid nearly $11 for a mocha that I pay $5 at Dean's, within the Luminary downtown (which is organic coffee) and even Starbucks is $8 something. Too pricey for local coffee when there is lots of new competition out there!

I've always on the lookout for a good café because so many of them are pretty standard and…read moretherefore typically subpar. This place had comfortable atmosphere, nice seating, creative dishes, and tasty food. When most places send out omelettes that need salt, I was so tickled with how great the salmon tasted! I didn't need to add anything and it was as good as if I had made it at home. I had this veggie Greek omelette. My mother-in-law had a turkey sandwich that was essentially a toasted melt and it was stacked thick with lots of flavor. I will say that half the reason the experience was so great was because of our server, Stacy. Stacy needs a shout out for her fabulous service and accommodating sweetness! When you have Stacy, make sure and tip her well.

The food portions were generous and beautifully plated, making the meal feel like a treat from start to finish. What really stood out, though, was the service--friendly, attentive, and genuinely upbeat. It felt like the staff truly enjoyed being there, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, I can't recommend Biscotti's highly enough. We'll definitely be back!
