Gather is both contemporary and timeless. Natural elements bring the space to life – wood, stone, fire, water and greenery abound. We strive for sustainability in all directions – from reclaimed lumber, recycled tiles and compressed paper counters, to weathered steel, no VOC paints and state of the art energy efficient equipment. We have a computer that controls our hood system by regulating how much heat comes off the cooking line, we remotely locate most of our refrigeration compressors to save energy, we filter all of the water in the restaurant and more!

Our space combines reclaimed woods rich with history, metal, concrete, and other sustainable, long lasting materials. We created cushions from re-used leather belts, and wooden cabinetry to assure a beautiful and comfortable “home” environment. Natural color is found throughout the space in deep green, Heath ceramic tiles behind the open kitchen, in lighting elements, art accents and living plants.

Practically every material used in our interior comes with a unique story.  The bar is made from a Douglas Fir that grew and fell in Camp Meeker in Sebastopol. Because the trees grow really fast in wet forests like these the rings are huge and highly distinctive.

Recycled pickle barrels are experiencing a new life as wait stations, the back bar and cabinetry in the open kitchen.

A former 100,000 gallon water tank from Marin county has been turned into tables, counter-faces and our front door; bleachers from a local high school are now banquettes and tables; the lights over the bar have been crafted out of local, recycled Square One vodka bottles and even the exposed piping in the main dining room is thoughtfully laid out to emulate the rays of the sun, exemplary of our commitment to honoring the essential elements of life.
