This restaurant has a great mission for helping those in our community. The food was a plus and the service made the night a delight.

Four of us ate here last Saturday evening. It was such a treat. To start off, the staff, only two people working!, were terrific! They were helpful, funny, knowledgeable, gracious and extremely capable. They handled an almost full dining room deftly. The food was delicious. By far, the best was the pork chop with arugula salad – best EVER. We had the chicken on pureed eggplant and the fish. All appetizers were delicious. Wine was creatively paired with each dish, if you wanted suggestions. Nice touch. Great value. Twenty percent “donation” added to the check in lieu of a tip. We left more on top of that. What an innovative and incredible concept. Kudos to those who make it all work. We will definitely be back.

A fantastic restaurant concept. Excellent food served by friendly staff to support a great cause. The price fix menu includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Due to the portion size you will need to have a good appetite or have extra to take home. Make sure you save room for the delicious desserts. A service charge of 20% plus any additional tip goes to Hands on Hartford. Gratuity for wait-staff needs to be cash.

Great spot. Amazing meal, portions are large, food is super good, wine on point, can’t say enough. Prices for the high end food are amazing. Didn’t even want to write this review because I don’t want other people finding it but you should haul right over there.

Always fresh and filling. Everyone is friendly and family style seating invites others to join you for a meal.

My dinner was really great. I love the concept of feeding those less fortunate and contributing in some way.

Delicious food and great atmosphere in a historic charming building. You won’t find better and more passionate servers. They are doing a great thing here and you leave feeling better and well-fed.

Me and my wife have ate dinner at Gather55 twice now and the food and service is always amazing. I highly recommend Gather55 and I particularly recommend the Pork Chop and Pasta Bolognese. Both are incredible.

The food from the rotating chef is excellently cooked with flavor combinations you wouldn’t expect. The staff is nice and knowledgeable about the old warehouse building it is in and did an excellent job refurbishing it to modern standards without losing the old architecture. The fact it helps fund the food bank and other charitable projects is just another great aspect.
