Best Seasonal Restaurants in Gunbarrel

Wonderful brunch at River and Woods. Hard to find a breakfast place with French press coffee but R&W has it and it’s incredible! We celebrated my wife’s birthday today over brunch and every aspect was delightful. Small quaint place but quiet enough to have great conversation over delicious food. We’ll be back again and again!

We had a wonderful valentines dinner at Gemini. Even though it was completely full, the food was overall quite good (one exception, see below), the wait staff attentive without hovering, and the ambience relaxed. We had two (minor) hiccups preventing this from being a perfect meal (the way it usually is here): There was a longer than usual amount of time between when our appetizer/salad came out and the entree/sides were delivered. in fact, we felt the need to inquire whether our entree order had somehow got misplaced - but it did get delivered and of course was quite tasty. The other issue for us was we ordered a crab/endive dish that included flavors that neither my wife or I really appreciated - the endive was more bitter than typical (and I use endive a fair amount in my own cooking), overpowering the crab. But, that may just be our taste buds, your. mileage may vary!

What a wonderful Valentine's Day dinner. Outstanding service by Will who was very helpful in recommending creative cocktails and wine, and all the servers who delivered piping hot dishes to our table. The meal was excellent from the bread selection, both savory and sweet, through the four course fixe prix menu. We sat in the cozy and welcoming dining area where we could watch the chefs creating the dishes and we loved it. Lovely night. We will definitely be returning to this gem.

Always a lovely experience! The food and service are both top notch. I appreciated that they had a prix fix menu for the holiday but you could also order the items a la carte so that’s what we did. The oysters were a perfect starter, the seasonal burrata is always a hit. The pizza was simple but very good. I also appreciate that they offer nice mocktails - the roots is my favorite.

This is a true neighborhood gem. Try the salmon pasta!
