    After years of going to the Gathering Table at the Ballard Inn we were so excited to see that it had re-opened on Mission Drive. The food was as fantastic as we remembered. The hamachi appetizer and Miso Black Cod were amazing 💖

    Over-the-top delicious food and incredible service. We had the arugula salad with burrata and blood orange vinaigrette, the Hamachi with fried rice and mussels in broth with coconut croutons.

    As always dinner was amazing and the staff friendly and attentive! My only one complaint was the noise level was deafening. It was difficult to have a conversation with the person sitting across the table.
