    We came in to celebrate a birthday. Our reservation was at 5:30, we were given the “off menu” items and wanted to order one of the items only to be informed that two people at the bar just ordered the last two of the night, and this was the BD guys order. We ordered another off menu item of shrimp, scallops (yuck) over herb risotto, as soon as the plate hit the table it was the worse smell ever. And the dish was not very good. The server Ishmell was FANTASTIC and the drinks,appetizer, and dessert were great. This was about our 4th or 5th time to dine here and I don’t think we will be back.

    First time at Gate 12 and it was an amazing experience. The staff was friendly and courteous and the food was wonderful. We made a reservation for our anniversary and they gave us a surprise desert at the end of our meal with Happy Anniversary written on the plare in chocolate. Such a nice and personalized gesture, made our evening very special. Can't wait to go back.

    Made reservations for a very busy night on game day weekend and were seated immediately. We did have to flag down a waiter but he did a fantastic job of taking care of us even though he was not assigned our table. Beef fajitas were amazing!! Cocktails were meh. Overall a fun atmosphere. Definitely recommend!
