Gather is the go-to place for righteous vegetarians and unrepentant carnivores who can forgive one another their culinary dogmas and trespasses. The basis of the truce is printed on every menu: “We support local food producers and source all of our ingredients carefully, with an unwavering commitment to choosing only foods that are cultivated safely, justly and sustainably.” The “root-to-shoot,” “nose-to-tail,” locavore, all-things-sustainable ideology is evident in everything, even the restaurant’s location and décor. Expect cheerful, intelligent service; creative and flavorful food; and animated atmosphere in the bustling restaurant that offers a variety of small plates, soups and salads, pizzas and large plates while paying attention to vegan and gluten issues. Some don’t miss dishes: the vegan “charcuterie plate,” the vegan pizza, Monterey Bay sardines with fava bean puree and a potato-fava salad. Or maybe the kale, Prather ranch hamburger, crispy pork shoulder or Bellwether ricotta gnocchi. Given the ample portions and the richness of generously employed oils and nuts, it’s likely you won’t be able to finish everything you’re enticed to order. So plan on return trips to sample lunch sandwiches or other dinner temptations. It’s a one-world ideal we can all live with. Lunch and dinner daily.
