    they've changed the ambiance -going away from western theme- both the furniture and the music has change. sad because that is what we especially liked about it. we've been going there 3 to 4 times a month since they opened. not our favorite place anymore. service was the worst we've ever had. sat us at a dirty table. took 15 minutes to get water and have someone clean the table. music was horrible. small order of just a charcuterie board and it took quite awhile to get it. asked for some soft bread rather than the very hard crustini - took 15 minutes and they brought us more hard curstini!!! Had to find someone to get us a box and our check. took all the food home and ate at home.

    Beautiful resort - daytime staff were great but took forever to get drinks at breakfast and dinner. Dinner waitress seemed bothered to serve us and did not check on us of ask if we needed anything or how food was once set at table. Disappointing for the cost. I recommend the hotel but the restaurant needs to make a few tweaks.

    We had a great experience at The Gate. Mallori, our server was fantastic....friendly and very prompt with every aspect of service. The fish and chips was cooked perfectly and moist and tasty. Since it was a birthday celebration for two of us we had dessert all around which was also very tasty. Highly recommend The Gate!

    We had to ask for bread and coffee and the dessert menu. We only saw our waitress when she finally took our order and when she brought the bill. We tried to get her attention but she didn't even glance our way. When she came back the restaurant was half empty and so was the bar. She apologized and claimed they were slammed. There were also gnats everywhere that we had to constantly swish away. Not their finest hour.

    The food was good, went in for the Sunday brunch. The photo of the eggs Benedict that is advertised is not what you get. I mean as a customer we get used to that but this looked very different. For the ambiance I expected a better looking meal. It was eggs with yellow sauce and a few potatoes. Nothing like the garnished photo advertised. The presentation looked more like a cheap breakfast. I will say it tasted great I enjoyed it. The service was not great we were on the patio so perhaps forgotten a bit. I will go back and eat inside. I will have the eggs Benedict again, I know not to expect great presentation but great food will do.

She was attentive with great personality and fun to talk with. She ensured our dinner was on time, made as ordered and went well throughout the entire meal.

    We ate outside so the noise level was very moderate. At time the restaurant/bar can be very noisy, but that was not the case tonight. Figure on spending at least $100 including a couple of alcoholic drinks. Always as for Christy to serve you. She will keep you entertained your entire evening.

    I always Love the Gate Red. The service is the best. Christie is excellent. She talks with you and it is just a lot of fun. My one disappointment is the menu, been the same to long. I also don’t like the new bar stools at High Top tables. They need to swivel.

    Nice brunch on the patio. The Eggs Benedict were yummy as was the omelette and Caesar salad with shrimp. The shrimp were grilled perfectly and the salad greens were fresh and crisp. Nice selection of beer and cocktails are offered. Took one star off for service as our server took our orders and then seemed to disappear leaving the busboy and hostess to scramble around to find silverware for our table and condiments as they brought our food. But just a small hitch to an otherwise delightful meal.

    We ate dinner and breakfast. The omelet was amazing and just the right size and the brioche french toast was great. Dinner was a buttery halibut and wagyu beef that so flavorful! They grow so much of their own stuff and they make wine, too. I would recommend all of it. Drinks were fun as well.

    We two friends looked forward to catching up and having a nice lunch. We each ordered a Caesar salad with salmon and asked that the waitress keep the water and tea coming. We were the only diners at noon. It took twenty minutes to get our salads, and when we asked why so long for a salad, the waitress said that the chef had to make sure the salmon was cooked correctly. When asked for a roll to go with the salad, we were told they didn’t serve rolls with lunch. The waitress offered toast. When the salads finally arrived, the lettuce was limp and soggy as though it has been tossed with the dressing a day ahead. The salmon was a four-inch overcooked square. The croutons were out of a box. We had to ask for more tea and water. It’s too bad because this is a beautiful setting.

    We did not care for the new bar stools/chairs. They don't swivel so are difficult to get in to and are difficult to move closer to the table once you are seated.

    Food and presentation was great. Complimentary slice of cake for the bday was nice. Service was slow and we waited for about 15 mins before someone was available to help us. Dogs are allowed which is fine but barking is disruptive while dining. Overall very nice option since we were staying the nite there. Had brunch the next morning and it was great as was the mimosa flight.

    We have gone to The Gate about 4 times a month since they opened. Love the service and western theme. We enjoy Wine down Wednesdays, music on Wednesdays 6 to 8, wine tasting on Thursdays, special events. But I have a couple of comments about last night. First thing was their new chairs for the bar and high top tables. They are impossible to get in and out of! EVERYONE was complaining. They are not near as comfortable as the previous ones and they really don't match the decor either. My order of a rare hamburger was well done - so not near what I wanted. My side of blue cheese dressing was totally watered down - VERY runny, couldn't use it. So not one of our better experiences at The Gate.

    Had Easter Brunch with family. The food was excellent…. Service was non existent… there were no staff serving coffee or drinks, everything was self serve. For $50 per person they should have had staff to bring coffee and drinks to guests. By the time you went and go your own drinks, your food was cold when you got back. Dessert station was lacking… chocolate pudding and do it yourself strawberry shortcake. I would not do brunch there again.

    Person making Bellini had never made one (a server stepped in since no bartender was there at brunch) no peach syrup to make Bellini was available so strawberry something was stirred in. Awful result. Ordered Eggs Benedict- muffins were tough and not cuttable, asked for cheese sauce on the side and it was delivered to table Luke warm. Not a good experience.
