   Food was amazing. Very rarely do I enjoy all the food ordered at a venue, however everything was delectable. The bill was not nearly as much as we expected either which is a bonus. Only downside was the short seating period (which was partially our fault for being late) and the crowded spaces. Overall would come back!

   It was a lovely meal, the fries were so salty though they ruined the taste of the rest of our meal a little. We definitely recommend but I would skip the fries.

   The food was good w a decent selection, reasonably lively flavors, fresh ingredients, and some imagination. The wine selection was excellent. Our steaks were cooked as requested and the cut of meat was good. Service was erratic. The wait staff were friendly but after several frequent visits at the start of the meal, by the end of the meal our table of six was forgotten. Overall, we had a great night but partly because we were determined to so, regardless.

   Fabulous food in a great setting. I would advise avoid having to use the ladies toilet facilities. An upgrade to the bathroom facilities is long overdue.

   We were sitting inside, it was so hot inside which made it uncomfortable to eat. We were also situated right next to the entrance where the door continued to slam every time someone were to walk in/out. The cushions on the bench seats were so overused, definitely need a replacement. The red wine we ordered was so warm, it made it hard to drink, probably best to keep the wines in a temperature controlled room. Other than that the food and service were impeccable.

   No waitresses or waiters wanted to eagerly wait our tables and our mains took an hour to come out, when we were clearly finished no one attended us and we had to wait 20 minutes before we went up to pay because no one was even looking at us. When we went up to pay we noticed our waitress was sitting right at the bar eating on her break. Why are there not any more staff to take over waiting our table? And maybe not have staff members eat their food on their breaks at the bar where everyone can see because it looks lazy and unprofessional.

    Your establishment is completely riddled with bugs. There were 15-20 bugs on the wall behind my head alone and the restrooms were just as bad. The waitstaff was great and accommodated us professionally, but I will never eat here again. I firmly believe the restrooms specifically are a reflection of the overall cleanliness of an entire establishment — therefore I must assume your kitchens are also unsanitary. For the prices you charge, you’d think there would be a level of care in that regard. Please do better.

    We were a group of ten sharing plates. The selection was wide and the food was delicious. We were attentively served throughout the evening. Unfortunately, the noise level was unbearable. We could only the hear the person right next to us. This spoilt an otherwise fantastic experience. I would go again but either sit outside or pick a quiet time.

    We were rushed. It was so noisy we couldn’t hear each other talk. Attitude of some of the staff was arrogant. Felt like it was not about the customer but more about churning over patrons with very little care for customer service. Need to stop the 1.5 hr sittings and set menus and let people get back to enjoying dining out and ordering what they want. Would not go back again.

    Nice food, friendly waiters, but we found it WAY too noisy inside the restaurant for our special-occasion family dinner. Deafening music. So we asked for a table outdoors, and the waiter moved two small tables together, but it was awkward. Still, great service.

    Second visit to Gilson's, food still amazing!! Great friendly service, didn't wait long for food or drink despite it been full. Will be back for sure, love the ambience, can get loud but kind of love that about Gilson's. Its not the place for a romantic quiet dinner, its a place to catch up with friends and have a great time!

    Thank you so much Gilson for having me and my friends for my birthday. The food was absolutely impeccable and the cocktails were delicious. Our beautiful waitress made sure my wine glass was always topped up and kept checking in, what a gal. The food is just so dang good every time. Would 10000% recommend to anyone. Just wish we were closer to the windows or outside!! ❤️ Thank you

    One friend ordered from the antipasti section expecting small dishes. Waiter recommended she order 3 dishes. Other 3 guests ordered separate items. These three dishes were much larger than expected. Waiter took one back but still disappointing. Noise level terrible - could hardly hear each other at all.

    It’s a shame the service was so poor. I had to get the waiter attention all the time, not once did they come over to see if we needed anything. I continually had to ask for menu, drinks etc.

    The staff were slow to serve us. We waited 10 minutes after being seated to get the menus after we had to ask for it. Slow to serve too but quick to kick you out. Staff were also standing around talking to what appeared their friends. The service was extremely poor. I would not recommend this restaurant.

    Food was ok - ordered the King George Whiting which was very nice but $38 for what really was an entree size meal. Fries arrived cold and our batch was like the dregs at the bottom- oily and crunchy small pieces. Steak was a good size but tough. Pear and rocket salad was very average. Inside was so noisy that you could hardly have a conversation at your table. Overall average and over priced.

    The staff were very accommodating and let us bring a cake and balloons. One of my confetti balloons popped on arrival, I apologised for making a mess and they didn’t care at all. They said it made the venue look pretty. They played birthday music when they brought out the cake. It made the day feel very special. Food was also delicious
