Gather — Restaurant in Yarmouth

Eh. That's about all I can say. I wanted it to be great, but it wasn't and I left feeling underwhelmed by everything.

First off, the parking was not good. The parking was very narrow and even though the restaurant didn't seem to be full, there was no spaces available. I ended up parking down the street and having to walk. Maybe it's a shared lot with another business? I don't know.

Our group sat at a long table in the middle of the room. The chairs were incredibly uncomfortable. Hard metal with no cushion and the way the back met the seat, I had metal bars pressing into my kidneys all night. Not particularly pleasant. The music drove me insane all evening. There was a guy playing a guitar and singing and it was way too loud. I couldn't hear anyone sitting around me and it made conversation very difficult. The waiter was standing right behind me telling us about the specials and I could barely hear what he was saying. It made for a difficult dining experience because we were all basically yelling at each other to be heard.

The food wasn't great but it wasn't terrible. I enjoyed the sun choke tots even though they were basically just smashed and fried. The taste was good but doesn't pair well with the truffle ketchup, that pairing gave it a weird after taste that I wasn't a fan of. I was trying to stay budget conscious so I ordered a burger from the menu. I asked for well done but it was still pink in the middle. I'm not sure the waiter even heard me correctly because of the music, so I just ate it anyway. It was a middle of the road burger, nothing special to write home about. I got fries with it and they were pretty good, if it a bit overcooked. It was sad when I got to the bottom of the fry pile and it was all just little fry bits that weren't edible. The only highlight to my meal was the dessert. I got a Meyer lemon napoleon that came with blood orange slices and a blood orange sauce. The sauce had a bit of a bite to it which balanced the sweetness of the lemon cream nicely.

Overall, there are better restaurants with better atmosphere and cheaper prices closer to home for me. I probably won't be back here after...

This is my home town and I really want to rate Gather with more stars, but unfortunately this was/is my last time here for a long while. I came back after a very disappointing meal with a party of 5 a few months back. The service was slow and the meals were not cooked to our liking i.e. asked for medium rare and got more than well done. We decided to give it another chance and was even further disappointed with the meal and the wait on Memorial Day weekend, Saturday night. After hearing the specials, we were told that they were out and then when we tried to order an appetizer they were out of that too! We then scrambled for a couple apps, the fried bussell sprouts and the mussels. The brussels sprouts were great but the mussels were a huge disappointment. While they were just average tasting, what was completely alarming is that we only got 10, yes that’s right, only 10 measly mussels with our order. See my pics for proof positive. I NEVER complain about portions but this was outrageous!!! Full disclosure, they did take them off the bill when I brought it to theIr attention, and it came with a lame excuse that the chef or someone in his family was getting married so the “normal” kitchen staff was not around. It’s a restaurant, specials should not be out at 6 pm on a Saturday night. It’s too bad because I really like the venue here. There are simply too many better options to consider than dealing with poor service. FYI, was here for 1:45 minutes for 2 app dishes. First time I've left a restaurant feeling hungry & didn't want to order...

Saturday evening early December visit- called at 530 got a 605 reservation was seated at 615. They do have a small children's play area with a table and small stools, lots of books and a few toys. Was Very crowded and bar seating available. They had both bar items not available and was unable to serve pizza(they said pizza oven was out of order I think). Children's menu is very, very limited (pasta with butter and cheese, patty melt and chicken pot pie) chicken pot pie was served in a Very hot dish that my son almost burned himself on (this is a kids menu item mind you) got my son water (pretty sure it was tap and only glass available for kids drinks). After ordering at 630 we got our food at 740. The waitress only came by the table after being waved over to say that it would be out shortly (this was at 715). Prices, by my standard, were expensive. Is all organic which I know effects their pricing. Gave 3 stars and not less because my parents had been there repeatedly and were satisfied enough to take me and my son there. Brussels sprouts were phenomenal as well as the fried mushroom and sweet potato fries appetizer. Had to get mine and my son's wrapped to go by the time we were served. Staff was understanding about children and their inability to stay still and out of the way while waiting to be served. Will be giving them one more chance to up...
