Named “One of the Best New Restaurants of the Year” by Mpls./St. Paul and Minnesota Monthly magazines, Gather features a happy hour and full bar with an innovative specialty cocktail menu every Thursday night. Guest chefs unveil specially created small plates at tastings on the first Thursday of each month.

  • Sope con Pato (hot): fresh masa sope with duck confit in mole Colorado, mashed ripe plantain, crema anejo, and cotija cheese
