Gateway Gardens

5 stars hands down. My guests are still talking about the appetizers and the food. Very well organized and the staff is very friendly. Weddings can be stressful but Maritza, Jasmine and the rest of the staff took a lot of stress off of our shoulders. Very professional staff. I can go on and on but if I had to do it all over again I would go with Gateway Gardens with no questions asked. Thank you so much Maritza and Jasmine!

I had my bridal shower here and it was an awesome experience. The staff was great, the food was good and the small chandelier hanging from the ceiling were adorable! The staff answered all my questions in a timely manner and they did what was promised. I would have gave them a 5 star but the back of the room was extremely hot. The building to get to the restrooms were hot as well. I’m not sure if their a/​c unit was working. My poor guest were so uncomfortable in the heat in August. I don’t think I’ll have another party here in the Summer. I also think it’s a little overpriced for the food.

I have provided entertainment at many events at Gateway Gardens. The staff is always professional, friendly and on top of everything. The food that they cater is always delicious and we’ll prepared. I always look forward to doing events at the GG!

My grandparents had their 50^th wedding anniversary in the Monte Carlo room. this is the most romantic room, with a big tree, twinkly lights, and a love-​bird nest where people made toasts. The food was fantastic. I’m a vegetarian and loved the pasta, fresh veggies, and the amazing deserts.

This place is beautiful and the food is amazing but the manager thinks she owns the parties, I had a wedding of a close friend not so long ago and we had so many problems with the manager trying to input her opinion on stuff thinking it was her wedding, if they change the manager, I’ll use this place again.

Fernando and his staff are the BEST and the food is unbelievably delicious!
Gateway Gardens catered my wedding in Carmel and made it the best day ever! They worked with us beforehand to develop an amazing menu that fit our budget and helped us to plan a smooth cocktail hour and dinner reception.
I have received nothing but rave reviews from all of the guests, stating that the food was the best they have ever tasted at a wedding!
Thank you Gateway Gardens! Highly recommended for any event!

Amazing space with an amazing owner!!! I attended two different wedding receptions here and had a great experience both times. I highly recommend for any functions!

Brunch was awesome! Great food and an amazing deal! The Bloody Mary bar was a lot of fun. Can’t wait to go again.

My wife, daughter and I went there for their mothers day brunch.
Pros: great wait staff and hostess, awesome omelette station, breakfast portion of brunch was very good, esp. Eggs Benedict, sausage and potatoes. DESERTS WERE OFF THE CHAIN!
Cons: cold drinks were warm, none of the lunch items had labels on them, pesto chicken was dry, shredded chicken stuff (?) was greasy, salad was kind of bitter, biscuits were hard, fruit was canned.
Overall, I’d say we got our money’s worth, it was a nice, quiet atmosphere, but could’ve been done better.

We also went here for Mother’s Day brunch and the food was awesome. It was hard to stop!
I was also upset, and one of the reasons for lacking the last star, that NOTHING was labeled. Oh, wait, the SYRUP was labeled. None of the salads, the dressings, the lunch dishes, the breakfast dishes or the desserts were labeled.
Some other minor observations: The bacon was too fatty and I prefer it crisp but it wasn’t. The cantaloupe wasn’t ripe enough (PS — the only canned fruit where the peaches; there were fresh grapes, watermelon, strawberries and honeydew melon). My mom said the biscuits were dry and hard but the gravy was okay. My son loved the omelet station but complained he had to wait too long so maybe add another cook.
The cupcakes were GREAT!!! And that is saying a lot coming from me as I have tasted many different places all over the state.
Another major problem: ONLY orange juice and coffee were free, sodas and iced tea was $ 2! I would prefer to see you either get the juice OR soda/​tea. The water wasn’t always cold and, since that was all ordered for our table of three, I asked for a carafe so the server didn’t have to fetch it so often but she said they didn’t have enough. Either get more carafes or give bigger glasses for water.
The atmosphere was nice, the treehouse is still there but the rest of the décor is very relaxing and kind of garden-​y.
In talking with our server, I learned that they plan to start serving lunch M-​F starting next Monday and also be open for special buffets like this for Christmas, Easter, and Mother’s Day. I will definitely try it out for lunch and look forward to the Christmas buffet.
For $ 20 per adult and $ 10 for my son, the buffet today was worth it. I would be willing to pay $ 25 — $ 30 if thy fixed these problems.
