Gather Restaurant Pittsburgh

While offering a wide variety of items, the execution of each was great. Friendly staff and bright interior. Quiet and enjoyable.

I work there and the food is great

We went to the Gather restaurant for their brunch to celebrate my sister's birthday. There were 12 of us in the group. Most of us had the buffet but a few were going to order off the menu and didn't even get to place their orders until the rest of us had already gotten our meal from the buffet. While the buffet was adequate, there was an omelette station which was the main draw for the majority of us. HOWEVER, the man who was in charge of making the omelettes did not have a clue how to do them. As I waited for my turn, I watched him totally burn the two omelettes before mine. When I asked if he could please not brown the eggs so much, he ignored me. Deciding not to risk it, I went back to the scrambled eggs and did not have the omelette. Two others in our party opted to try them and, as I had seen, had totally dark brown eggs on both sides and they were basically inedible. In one person's comment, the were "like rubber". Seeing that the omelette station is a major -- if the the most important -- part of a brunch, I would hope they could find a better chef to make these. Service was just so-so ... we had to ask for refills on the beverages more than once and had to track someone down to pay when we were ready to leave. While the atmosphere is great, the food and service is just mediocre. I don't think we would choose this restaurant in the future, especially for their brunch.
