Best KPortal Reviews
Exceptional food, but slow service. I don’t recommend going if you’re in a rush. The food here is terrific. They have a wonderfully diverse menu and very creative specials. They’re all delicious!
Where they fall short is the service. Every server I’ve had has been great, but they always seem understaffed (not the servers fault). During our last lunch visit on a Wednesday, it appeared as though there was one server for the entire restaurant, plus the bar tender. This was for both the outside and inside dining areas.
After you sit down, it generally takes about 15 minutes before a server comes to greet you. I recommend ordering everything at once, because it’ll be about 20 minutes between visits.
That being said, if you’re not in a rush, enjoy!
This was not a good dining experience. The appetizer took an hour to come out and the beer sauce on the pretzels tasted like watered down butter. The meal took another hour and was cold when it came out. The menu was very misleading and the food did not look like the description at all. I paid $150 to eat here and could have gotten better food in half the time at a place that would have cost $50.
I ate here with some friends and we shared some of the dishes, so it was fun to be able to taste several different items. The lobster ravioli was delicious, but it was a little bit light on the actual ravioli. The pasta with mussels was probably my favorite dish, I think it is either seasonal or it was a special the day we went in. The tuna poke was very good, but the rice was just OK... keep in mind that of all of the ingredients in this item, the rice is probably the least important! Still worth mentioning though. Overall a very good experience!
I got chicken and tortellini which was soup.. the waitress never came back to check on us then we got another waitress and I told her I didn’t like my meal and asked if she could take it off the bill and she said “I can ask. Did you tell the waitress?” Then I said she never came back so I couldn’t. She did take it off but didn’t apologize. Would not recommend.
I have to say, I expected more. I ordered the fried chicken Mac and cheese and it tasted burnt. I’m not sure what it was but it had a bad taste. I asked the waitress if I could have something else instead and she seemed annoyed. She also didn’t say you’re welcome whenever we said thank you. She didn’t introduce herself when she got to the table and we didn’t feel very welcomed. We came from out of town because we saw that this place had pretty decent reviews, but I wasn’t impressed. I switched the Mac and cheese for the Alfredo flatbread and it was also just okay.
Tonight I ordered off of the specials and my choice was the swordfish. Wow! Compliments to the chef! It was amazing 5Star ! Delish and the presentation was beautiful! Thank you!
Not particularly busy Valentine's Day but our server was not very attentive. My mashed potatoes were cold. The butternut squash was barely warm. I ordered the surf and turf and my meat was delicious but stuffed shrimp were not very good. The stuffing was just a big glob of wet sea water tasting bread crumbs. We were finished with our dinner and waited quite a while for the check. We found the prices to be quite high given the quality of the food. On previous visits the restaurant was always very crowded but there were not many people here this night which was surprising given that it was Valentine's Day. It appears the quality of food and the service have decreased significantly.
Our family was highly disappointed with the overall service, long wait for food (49+mins after ordering) and hit-or-miss taste/quality of food served.
Although The Gateway was recommended for its selection of food - I think having such a large menu contributed to the inconsistent quality of and unacceptable length of time it took from kitchen to table. Once received, 3-out-of-5 items needed to be warmed.
I ordered JUMBO fried wings. They were your standard to smaller party-size wings, but a good serving size. The bruschetta pizza was overcooked, burnt in many areas, EXTREMELY dry and tough to chew. Not impressed. In addition, the chicken wings and fish-n-chips were over fried and dry as well. It's really a shame because the parmesan garlic sauce for the wings was quite flavorful and complimented the wings so well.
You will definitely be impressed with the baby back ribs. Two orders were placed and both were hot when served, flavorful, moist, tender, juicy and fell off the bone. An absolute favorite out of all the dishes served. With the exception of being on the cooler side, my husband enjoyed his chicken parmesan with linguine.
Unfortunately, due to no cutlery provided, overcooked food, lack of server presence, inconsistent quality of food and an extremely long wait from entrance to placing our order to actually receiving food... 3☆'s was given. Over 1hr on a Mon eve with no waiting list is unacceptable.
I think the Gateway has potential to be a really good restaurant... especially if the quality of food from the cooks to the servers can be improved. I think they are trying though.
One last suggestion to the hostess would be that you greet your customers upon arrival and departure. Being glued to your cellphone is not professional.
