    The Gathering Table offers a wonderful outdoor patio area that's roomy, while the indoor space is elegant without being stuffy. We enjoyed another delicious brunch today, and look forward to exploring more of the daytime menu. As the vegetarian half of this couple, I would just mention that it would certainly be appreciated to find more veggie options than a Caesar Salad in the lunch section of the offerings; there's pretty limited fare available around the SYV for vegetarians, so I'm always compelled to speak up. Also, a couple of desserts on the brunch menu would be lovely. So incredibly glad that you're back, Budi -- CHEERS!

    Great location. Excellent food selection of a wide variety. Chef Bodi is a master at presentation, preparation, quality and ambiance. Highly recommend. A bit loud once it fills up with patrons. The best restaurant in the valley.

    Our food selections were all very creative, healthy and delicious. The service was a little slower than we would have expected; but staff was courteous and accurate. We sat outside, so the traffic noise from 246 was pretty loud. We have sat inside once before and the ambience was delightful. We would highly recommend and look forward to returning!

    This was our first time visiting The Gathering Table. We ordered a variety of options, the filet, the cod, sliders, cauliflower, and the cucumber salad, and scallion focaccia. All dishes were fenomenal. The only semi-complaint we have was the size of the cod fish, which was only big enough for 3 bites for the price. We enjoyed the ambience and service and we will make sure to recommend it to all our friends.

    My issue is that on Open Table I requested indoor seating (high top table). Upon my arrival I was informed that due to a "glitch" in their (The Gathering Table) system, the table for which I had made a reservation was actually outside on a patio. The manager did provide a complimentary dessert, and the food and service was excellent. I downgraded the experience because I followed the protocol and was penalized by being forced to choose between being seat indoors at the bar, or outside on the patio. Undoubtedly, there were other guests who made reservations for indoor seating AFTER I made mine (you should also know that I cancelled a reservation at another restaurant in favor of The Gathering Table. Very disappointing that I and my guest were penalized.
