Gather FOOD + DRINK

Gather FOOD + DRINK has a nice patio and good food — we tried the arancini and sushi tots, both tasty. However, the drinks weren’t good, and even though the food was nice, it didn’t really match the price. We spent about $50 for two appetizers and two drinks during happy hour. Overall, it’s okay to try once, but I probably wouldn’t come back.

Wow!! This place is beyond amazing from the drinks to the food to the dessert every part was delicious. The service was top notch, never had to wait for a refill. If you haven’t tried this little slice of heaven you definitely need to. Best espresso martini ever and just check out the picture of the desserts!!!! I definitely can’t wait to go back.

Gather is a breath of fresh air! In a sea of restaurants this one sticks out. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of great places in Rocky River but this one felt new & fresh. The food was mouthwatering! We very much enjoyed some new flavors. We started with the Roasted Artichokes, light, creamy and satisfying. The bone in strip steak was served au poivre with fantastic value cheese mashed potatoes. Halibut was expertly cooked and served with a corn risotto and a silky tomato butter sauce. We finished with a seasonal peach cobbler that we did not want to end! I can't wait to see what Fall brings to this new place!

I had been to Gather in the summer, but not with my husband. I took him this week and we had a fantastic time. Meg, our server, was lovely: pleasant, efficient and cheerful. The food was great. We both had the ruby trout special for mains, I had the mussels special for an appetizer and my husband had a ceasar salad. We couldn't choose for dessert, so we had two: red velvet cake and HoHo cake. They were both super good. This will now go on our regular restaurant rotation.

Gather instantly won us over, exceeding the high expectations we brought from Chicago. Our group each ordered something different on the menu to share and try, and every single dish was incredible—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can truly taste the care that goes into each plate. What makes Gather extra special are Matt and Julie, the owners. They not only designed the space themselves (and it’s gorgeous!), but they also bring such warmth and thoughtfulness to everything they do. They make you feel right at home while creating a place you genuinely want to keep coming back to. If you’re looking for a spot with outstanding food, a welcoming atmosphere, and owners who truly care about their guests, Gather is a must. We already can’t wait to come back.
