From The Leaf
An unexpected ingredient advantage
Inside The Leaf, Gather's chefs and bartenders have access to select produce and herbs grown just steps from the kitchen. When available, these ingredients become thoughtful details within globally inspired dishes and drinks.
How We Use It
Selected, not prescribed
What grows at The Leaf does not define the entire menu. Instead, our culinary team looks for opportunities to use available herbs, greens, edible flowers, and specialty produce in ways that complement each dish or drink.
In the Kitchen & Bar
Reimagined by our culinary team
