★★★★★ 5.0 Brooke · Sep 2025

The food was absolutely amazing! We had chips and guacamole, chicken, wings, lobster roll, and a salad… The food was not only extremely high-quality, but came out promptly, and the staff could not have been more helpful patient accommodating, and extremely extremely friendly! The owner even came out to speak with us and it was so lively. We had the very best time highly highly highly recommend!

My family threw me a beautiful baby shower at Gates in New Canaan in November 2024. The staff at Gates made this event absolutely incredible. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all 10/10. Chnoo their manager was lovely to work with and made us feel like a priority every step of the way. I’d highly recommend hosting an event here!

😳Sticky tables. 👎Bland food. 😡Disappointing service. Went here Saturday night for our anniversary. What a mistake. 👎 Ordered martini. They’re out of olives. Entire bar. Out of olives. It’s 7PM. Ordered appetizer. Asked for it be brought out BEFORE entree’s. Ya know. Appetizer. Mediocre wings came out 1.5 minutes before entree. 4/6 wings were actually sauced. Okay. But how’s desert? Ordered key lime pie. Menu says nothing about nuts on the key lime pie. Guess what? Key lime is covered in almonds. Wife has an allergy. Have to send it back. This place needs help. Service was 5/10. Food was 6/10 and overall experience was 3/10. Go elsewhere. I posted photos. Decide for yourself. Fix your restaurant. Customers deserve it.

A vast selection of food. On top of the classic bar food a ton of sandwiches and other meals. Service was great atmosphere was very good. Great spot for business talks or family dinners.

★★★★★ 5.0 Sharon Quinn · Nov 2025

What a fun place to eat and visit with friends. Live Entertainment, we saw Flash perform . Nice menu selections, relaxed atmosphere. They have a bar area with high top tables and another separate area with tables for dining.Parking is a bit challenging. Weather permitting you can eat outside. Great place to meet up with friends. Staff was great.
