    A wonderful place to visit. Reasonable price for a four-course meal. You have the option of pairing it with wine for an additional fee. And the 20% gratuity although may seem high, it goes towards the students and the cooking program. So well worth it!

    What an AMAZING experience we had at Gatehouse Restaurant! Everything was perfect from the warm greeting to the kind, dedicated service we received from Josie ... as well as everyone else. The FOOD was incredible ... every course was perfect and they accommodated for my gluten allergy with ease too! We all rated it a 10 out of 10! We will definitely be back!

    The service was great. The students did a really nice job in their preparation as well as their delivery. Wishing them all as a transition to the next phase.

    We live in Napa Valley haven’t been there in quite some time. It was an amazing experience. We were celebrating Valentine’s Day early and our anniversary. They were very special about the occasion. The food was excellent and the staff superb
