The Gate

OPENED: December 2024
CHEF: Jonathan Gushue
SEATS: 44
CUISINE: The foundation is Mediterranean, but evolved, shifting into a modern European style, expressing a sense of place through every ingredient.

Proprietor Jennifer Belanger and chef Gushue.
I love looking up from the kitchen and seeing that buzz in the room — people fully immersed in the experience, locked into what’s happening on the plate and at their table. That’s the goal, right? Creating a space where guests want for nothing, where it feels easy and comfortable. As restaurant owners, that’s what we’re chasing. Chef Jonathan Gushue
