    We were there for a special dinner to celebrate a winery's 40-year anniversary. It wasn't the usual menu so I cannot speak it that. The food was paired to the wine served, and it was delicious! A creative menu that the chef (and owner) is known for. Service was excellent and friendly. Great job by everyone involved!

    Great food, God awfully slow service. We got water and settings right away, but it took a good 25 minutes before we got approached by a waiter: we were seated in a place where employees saw us and couldn't miss us. I had to get the warm blankets that were initially promised and offered on my own, the patio heaters didn't get turned on until our entree came out. The seating itself was perfect for our family of 4 and a dog. 1 generous long bench outdoors. As for the food, pretty good overall. The garlic noodles looked like it very well could've come out of a ramen packet: soupy, no stir fried crunch. Our local Vietnamese restaurant serves up something much better. The cod and salmon on the other hand were cooked just right. We refrained on ordering some items, including the dessert: overpriced and I can cook the same things for pennies, possibly better at home.

    The inside looked amazing and the vibe is on point. Staff were all sweet and the presentation of food is beautiful. But the food is not as good as the presentation. I would come back, but would want the price to be lower for what it taste.

    Chef Kazali’s Gathering Table is one of the dining highlights of the region. With a fusion of Asian and California flavors and favorites, there is something to appease the Ben the most discerning palates. The service and staff are fantastic. The restaurant has all the feel of the fine dining experience you want combined with the warmth of a neighborhood bistro. Offering weekend specials which are fabulous along with a consistent menu gives you the opportunity to have a special dining experience every time you visit. Also, the cucumber salad is fantastic.
