The Gate Lounge

I will divide my review into 3 parts: Food : was below standard. Apetizers were only ok, none of it (hummas, motabal, taboule, fatouch, grape leaves, french fries, fried cheese roll and kebbe, raw kebbe, falafel) was up to standards. The most important comment is, the smell of the oil killed us, whatever they were frying in the kitchen, we were smelling it. The management must solve this issue. Service: was satisfactory, we were table of 16 , and on Thursday night , the place was not crowded . (It was karaoke night) Ambience: the karaoke band did good ambience, but the place was 80% empty. The restaurant is clean.

I had a horrible experience here. First off there seems to be a lack of care for the guests. And I was disresepcted and met with a rude response so many times when inquiring about the food. I also noticed this place overworks their employees. They have 1 busser serving over 300 guests. That is Labor Abuse and should be reported to the City Labor board. They also have their worker lifting heavy trays with 20 plates on it. I think the owner is greedy and trying to cut costs by not having more workers but this is Labor abuse. They seem to not care about their workers or customers. It's all about how much money they can make which is extremely self centered. I also heard a girl was SA here by one of the owners. Report this place for Labor Abuse and have them looked into for the way they are running their business. They need to be held accountable. If you treat people unfairly and harrass them it comes back to you. Maybe start treating other people better instead of just thinking of yourself and how much money you make. People are starting to notice how you treat your customers and employees. Maybe the food wouldn't take so long if you had more bussers. I get you are trying to cut costs but you are overworking your staff and that's not right. Do better and remember. Treat others how you want to be treated. That's the golden rule which you business seems to not follow.

Music way too loud. They had a cigar bar for a private party, disgusting smell. How is that even allowed?!?! The food they made was great. They had a Mexican food station which was decent at nest..disappointing.

Beautiful place to have a private event. Everyone was awesome. Food was delicious. Definitely worth the drive from the south bay.

The food is delicious and their service is beyond amazing. Every Friday and Saturday they host a live singing show for 3 nationalities. I go there almost every two weeks, and every time I go I enjoy it more. They serve hookah that is fresh and tasty, the service for the coals is do fast. I definitely recommend it
