"Would like to add that all the other staff, especially our server, Fatima, were brilliant. Advised food intolerances during booking process and received great email the day before: “I have come across your booking notes and wated to share our menu with you. We have a few gluten free options for all courses and we also have a three course set menu £38pp our guests can also opt for. The Set Festive Menu does not offer GF options for starters, however we welcome our guests to choose this course from out A La Carte.” However, on ordering, the server fed back that I would not be able to choose a starter from the A La Carte and could not have the Festive Menu. She offered to bring the person who had said this to the table to explain. Oh wow bad move. This turned out to be the defensive and accusatory owner manager: This restaurant does not cater for “people like you” who “demand” things outside of what is available and “expect to get them”; and that “the system will not let him order” a starter from the A La Carte for the Festive Menu. “If I wanted to have the Festive Menu I would have to have the Aubergine starter from it”. Blah blah blah blah blah . . . The Aubergine starter was not marked GF on either menu (as per the email). I pointed out that his accusation about people like me making demands applied to him: he was “demanding” I eat the 1 item he selected for me from the menu and it was something I could not eat. Additionally, a quick estimate showed the order would come in a few pounds below the £38 for the Festive Menu. I didn’t bring up the email, because my patient companion asked if they could give their order, which included the aubergine dish. Owner Manager suddenly realised that this might work with the technology and clearly felt a need to share every step of his thinking process about swapping our starters with us. With much huffing and puffing he messed around with the order terminal for several minutes right at the table. After 2 failed attempts, he eventually muttered he’d “have to just write the order by hand” and stalked off. When the order arrived, we received a cup of salad instead of the broccoli side that had been ordered. When the broccoli arrived, it was steamed not sautéed as described in the menu so it was sent back. If having diners in your restaurant is an inconvenience for your technology, business and self, then maybe you’re in the wrong business? We didn’t need to know all the drama and detail about whether our starters can be swapped so that it can be input in the technology and we didn’t need to be party to all the huffing and puffing too. Finally the food: excellent margarita and Oyster mushroom starter. Highly recommend these. The Wild Mushroom rotolo mains was not as great as the starter but still very good. The festive snow bombe dessert presented beautifully, with the bombe melting under a pour of hot chocolate sauce, but tasted average. My take is that the pear filling was bland and didn’t complement the chocolaTe"

Lunch: food fine but not as good as I found it before, when I told friends they must try. Service lacking.

Amazing vegan restaurant! The flavours of the food were so tasty and fresh! Highly recommend it! The desserts were also very yummy and so refined.

Food was lovely and the flavours were full and interesting. They’ve got a few other restaurants in London too and I highly recommend. Awesome to see a fully plant based menu now Stand out dishes were the courgette flower, oyster mushroom and moussaka

We had an excellent dinner experience at The Gate in Islington. The starters, mains and desserts were all flavoursome and exceptional value for money. The service was great and our waitress was attentive and friendly. We would highly recommend this restaurant to others! Ver carta

Love The Gate; the dining room is modern but cosy and the menu is wide ranging. In fact it’s hard to choose what to eat because everything is always so tasty! Love the new app they have that you can use to order and pay, which was really handy when we were in a rush to get to the theatre.

Very good and tasty food, beautifully presented and very flavoursome. The grilled aubergine starter was very tasty as was the moussaka, but overall the price, once 12.5 service was added; didn’t quite match the fining dining experience expected. It was a quiet Monday night and service was okay bit not outstanding.

The food at The Gate is excellent inventive, interesting, delicious. And it's wonderful knowing I can order anything on the menu. But I really want to thank the staff. I had lunch with my mum. Her train was cancelled making us very late. I phoned ahead and the staff member I spoke to was helpful, friendly and so reassuring. When we arrived, despite the restaurant being very busy, we were seated almost immediately. We were booked to see Edward Scissorhands at Sadler's Wells so only had limited amount of time which had been cut very short by the train cancellation. But the staff ensured we got our food in plenty of time to eat without feeling rushed. Thank you so much. Ver carta

I loved it. What a wonderful place. Everything in the place menus is vegan. Mostly gluten free, but anything that is, is well published on the e menu and staff can advise. Since nuts are used for some dishes, it's not nut free but again well marked and the staff knows. Anything that looks like meat or fish isn't it's 100% vegan. But it looks real and tastes like the real deal. Best of all, or maybe next best from the quality and content is the price. Most reasonable for what you get anywhere these days, and the portions are huge. The staff was wonderful and friendly, and the building is an oldie but lovingly and tastefully restored. This place would be special anyway, but it's vegan menu mak...

I am giving this restaurant 3 stars because of a couple of really lovely waiting staff. However, that 's where the good stuff ends sadly. I had not visited this restaurant for about 4 years and was very disappointed with the food and management. The starter of courgette flower was almost cold inside but I was hungry so didn 't mind to much. I then ordered the steak which was burnt around the edges and super chewy. The steak was extremely salty while the rest of the dish (sauce, broccoli, etc) was not seasoned enough. I didn 't finish it and when I told the waitress why, she informed her manager who more or less shrugged. Perhaps she should have been inspecting the dishes before they left the...
