Restaurants near Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts

We really enjoyed our service from Lex - she was AWESOME. We tried multiple cocktails, and each was well crafted and delicious. The calimari and cheeseboard appetizers were both delicious, as was the spaghetti carbonara. Tiramisu was good (not fabulous, but good). I will definitely return to try more pasta dishes!

Delicious as always. Service was great. Never dissapoints

The sushi rolls were all terrific. The fried ice cream was gross. Low quality ice cream and soggy crust.

Food is thoughtfully prepared and presented using high quality ingredients. Everyone in our group of four enjoyed their entrees, commenting that the venison and scallop dishes were remarkable. Dessert of vanilla custard tart and housemade cranberry ice cream was a lovely close to the meal. Cocktails were good but not great, if there was any low point to the meal. Overall, a great experience, but I question the value for the price. Can an equal or better experience be had for less? Yes.

We never need an excuse to visit Gather. However, our latest visit was intentional to try their limited-time specials advertised on social media (Facebook and Instagram). A dining experience at Gather is incomplete without starting with the Brussels sprouts appetizer. It is hands-down our favorite! Our meal was accompanied by their limited-time specialty drink, Penicillin Cocktail. I am not a scotch drinker but let me tell you, this beverage was smooth and delicious! We ordered the limited-time special Miso Shrimp Tagliatelle and the short ribs for entrees. I almost always order the short ribs when dining at Gather but the Miso Shrimp was AMAZING! I highly suggest adding it to the regular menu! For dessert, we had the limited-time special Chocolate Tart. It perfectly blended bitter dark chocolate crust with sweet blueberry compote and vanilla-almond custard. Hillary was our server (we always request her when we visit). She is knowledgeable, attentive, and has a great personality! Per usual... we will be back!
