Gastro at 23rd

Stumbled upon this place by accident. It is a beautiful brick building inside and out. Nice artwork inside. We visited on a Monday so it wasn't very busy but people were coming/going the whole time. The bartender provided great service and even better cocktails! I had the salted watermelon margarita and I'm still thinking about it. The ingredients were well balanced. The food was really good. The burger was juicy. My chicken sandwich was a bit dry but the lemon basil aioli helped it out. Some of our wings were undercooked and the bartender immediately took care of the issue with no issues. If you're in the area I highly recommend stopping in!

The food left us wanting for more. The mixed drinks are great! There was an overabundance of gnats. The waitress stayed the gnats were sue ro the bartenders not cleaning properly at night.The restaurant does not offer coffee & provided hot tea in a tall beer glass; which I thought was going to shatter as they added hot water to the glass.

Great downtown casual spot with a nice selection of pub food and good drinks. I had the fish n chips at the bar. The bartender/server Bree was friendly and service was quick. She makes a great smoky old fashioned.

I came in to try a new spot. The drink was good, the food was good, the ambiance was nice, and the service was excellent.Thanks Dion!

Rating: I had a rather frustrating experience with Gastro at 23rd. I scheduled a crucial meeting during their advertised lunch hours, expecting a professional setting and quality service. However, upon arrival, I was met with locked doors despite clear signs of staff presence inside.This situation not only disrupted my plans but also reflected poorly on the restaurant's reliability and commitment to customer service. There was no notice or explanation provided for the unexpected closure, leaving me and my associates in a difficult position.The lack of communication and disregard for customers' time is unacceptable, especially for a business in the service industry. It's disappointing to see such negligence from an establishment that otherwise seems to have potential.I hope Gastro at 23rd takes this feedback seriously and improves its operational consistency and communication with customers. Unfortunately, due to this experience, I am hesitant to plan future visits or recommend it to others.

You absolutely MUST try this hidden gem!! Cute restaurant. The food, drinks and service is phenomenal!! If you're ever in the area you HAVE to stop by!

This place is hit or miss. I came out on a Wednesday night the doors were locked at 7:30pm. The open sign was still on. Bartenders were still inside. They just looked at me and turned me away.

Ordered and paid online for pickup. Food was supposed to be ready Saturday @ 5:53pm. When I arrived the doors were locked. I tried to call but the number is not working. I have no way to get a refund. Don't order and pay online!

We came for drinks and appetizers. The bartender Kelly was amazing, fun, and friendly. We ordered the nachos with chicken which were a lot bigger than we thought they would be (not complaining) and really good. We also ordered a margarita flight. We told her to make one strawberry and the rest whatever she chose and they were all amazing. The music and vibe was perfect. Would deff recommend.

We were sitting @ Coastal Fermentory and needed some food Stumbled on Gastro @ 23rd, it was amazing. Within walking distance, on line ordering. Food was hot and very very good I got a Peninsula burger and my husband got the Newport News Grinder I will definitely be back
