    The Gathering Table offers a wonderful outdoor patio area that's roomy, while the indoor space is elegant without being stuffy. We enjoyed another delicious brunch today, and look forward to exploring more of the daytime menu. As the vegetarian half of this couple, I would just mention that it would certainly be appreciated to find more veggie options than a Caesar Salad in the lunch section of the offerings; there's pretty limited fare available around the SYV for vegetarians, so I'm always compelled to speak up. Also, a couple of desserts on the brunch menu would be lovely. So incredibly glad that you're back, Budi -- CHEERS!

    Great location. Excellent food selection of a wide variety. Chef Bodi is a master at presentation, preparation, quality and ambiance. Highly recommend. A bit loud once it fills up with patrons. The best restaurant in the valley.

    Our food selections were all very creative, healthy and delicious. The service was a little slower than we would have expected; but staff was courteous and accurate. We sat outside, so the traffic noise from 246 was pretty loud. We have sat inside once before and the ambience was delightful. We would highly recommend and look forward to returning!
