My mom and I hung out the other day and decided to try out a new restaurant for lunch. I took her to the Village Gate and we tried the Gate House restaurant. It was very nice looking inside. I tried the Golisano Burger, which is obviously named after Tom Golisano. I thought it was quite yummy. My mother ordered the special, which was a Mediterranean Turkey Burger with mozzarella cheese, pesto mayonaise, lettuce and tomato. She said it was a bit overcooked and she really didn't think it was anything special. Maybe she should have stuck with the regular beef burger. I think I would go back to try some other things on the menu. Check out their menu on their website.
