New waterfront restaurant opens

CAPE CORAL — Gather, one of the newest waterfront restaurants in Lee County, opened Oct. 17.

The new restaurant, from the team behind Fathoms Restaurant & Bar and The French Press, is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, according to a statement. The menu features healthy, organic-option breakfasts, plus European-style pastries. Lunch and dinner will introduce a new concept in Cape Coral with an international gastro-bar menu and craft cocktails, the release adds.

Area hospitality entrepreneur Tim Hoffman, one of the partners behind the project, envisions Gather as a waterfront draw for laid-back mingling. Hoffman says it will be the kind of place he noticed Cape Coral was missing when he and his wife, Meredith, and business partners Benjamin Voisin and Valeria Zanella Voisin started in the restaurant business on the Cape two years ago. Gather seats about 65 people.
