| - Gates and Brovi is a solid choice for dining in the Dudgeon-Monroe neighborhood. Service, vibe and space is easily a 4 star experience. The vibe is cozy and warm and the large space is great for groups or families. However, I have to give Gates a 3 based on food...I've had good things there, but I've had a lot of mediocre things there. I'd probably end up giving it a 4 star, but food is mediocre and prices are high...double whammy.
Good:
Bluegill fish fry with roasted red potatoes
Cheese Curds (actually amazing!)
Crab dip--mmmmm...so good
Not so good:
Clam/Fennel Pizza--maybe I should have known better, but this was really not my thing.
Shrimp Fritters--NOT worth the price. Not that great, and expensive.
Parmesan/Garlic Chicken Wings--really not Gates' wheelhouse, these wings were pretty bad, lukewarm and a little soggy
Beet salad--good flavor, but too heavy on carrots
Shrimp Salad sandwich--just not that good, too sweet, and the avocado was not a good texture with shrimp
Overall...I will keep going to Gates' for the bar and atmosphere, but I hope they refine a few things and keep prices reasonable.
