Was my lunch break so popped in for a toastie. Service was excellent and very quick. I ordered a ham, cheese and pickle toastie. Not normally what i would order at all but had to since it seems to be the quickest to made since i was in a hurry. But must say it's by far the best ham sandwich i ever had. I will defenately go back for more and highly recommend to try it. It was super fresh, warm, juicy, perfect balance of flavour. Freaking delicious!!!!
Recently had dinner here for a family birthday. The figs, prosciutto and mozzarella sharing starter was delicious and the pepperoni pizza to die for! We found service to be excellent - attentive but not obtrusive. Will definitely be back.
The pizza here is excellent, really easy place to bring kids. Have found our new local
3.5
My friend and I ate here recently, I have to agree that the service was pretty slow. I think having 1 extra person on the floor would help relieve some of the pressure for the other wait staff as they are very run off their feet.
Our spritz's were very tasty and we shared the prawn pizza. The pizza was cooked well, however I don't know the prawns were cut in little pieces, was a little strange. The coffee was good.
We had a great time and overall the restaurant was a pleasant experience.
Originally this place wasn't our choice for the night (was planning to go to the Botanical a few doors down Domain Rd but had a change of mind) but in my opinion, this place certainly does not reflect / deserve the poor rating it has on here.
My verdict..
Ambience - 4/5
Service from our Waiter - 5/5 (excellent)
Food - 4/5
Pricing - 4/5
Overall - 4/5
I've read some reviews and they all seem to be unanimously centred around bad service - this is certainly not what my group and I had last night, we had excellent service from our waiter.
Ordered some entrees (pizza / linguine) and 4 x steaks for mains, plus desserts - all were very good and came out in a reasonable time frame considering it was a full house at 7:30pm.
Only negative or room for improvement would be the sauce for the steak - it was a tad thin / watery for my liking however the taste was fine.
Presentation wise, it was fine but nothing too spectacular.
Will be back to try their Thursday pasta special.
Came across this place unexpectedly and it turn out to be fantastic! We had pizza, pasta, steak and dessert and everything was on the point (except the sauce for the steak was bit blend )
Our waiter was excellent and was very attentive.
In summary, this place definitely was under rated and we will be back soon to try their other pasta dishes!
I’ve had breakfast at Gilson twice, once on a weekend with a big group of people and had an enjoyable experience in both occasions. Their porridge with poached pears is delicious, and the coffee consistently good. Staff are friendly and efficient. I’ll be back often!
Great ambience! Dined in on a Thursday night, partaking in the $25 ‘Spaghetti & Wine Special’. The food was excellent and I really liked the look and feel of the place, striking a good balance between casual and upmarket.
Food amazing! Service brilliant!! Definitely recommend heading here for a chilled out dinner or to celebrate an occasion! Celebrated my birthday here and I felt incredibly welcome and spoilt by the staff and other guests!! Great atmosphere!
Loving the vibe and really friendly staffs here.
Had a FW and chicken salad this afternoon.
Their coffee blend comes from Seven seeds, with lovely praline, raisin and chocolate at the end.
Chicken salad comes with soft shredded chicken, wombok, cucumber, dill, buckwheat and homemade green sauce.
It was juicy, rich and marvelous!!
Highly recommend!!
Great customer service & friendly staff here. Lamb racks were exceptional, should've ordered more!
The rest of the food was also pretty good except for the pizza - whilst the toppings and all were great, the let down was underneath the pizza, where the base was fully charred which gave the pizza a really burnt taste.
Enjoyed my visit here. Good combination of location, vibe, food and service. Coffee is of the Italian darker roast style but not too strong. Recommended. Mid week experience, I'd say it gets busy on weekends.
Ordered: Burrata, octopus, tuna crudo, lamb chops ($9pp), pappaedelle lamb ragu, aperol spritz & punchy punch.
The food here was amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection. There was no faults to the food. The service was very slow. There was barely anyone walking around inside the restaurant for me to get someones attention to take our order. Then we also ordered salami which never came but they were able to cancel it.

So happy to have finally checked out this gorgeous gem opposite the renowned tan walking track and the botanical gardens 🪴
My friend HAD to take me here as it is one of her faves so I let her do the honours of ordering and it did not disappoint!
Started off with some frozen margs which were a 10/10 and definitely strong 🤪
We then went on to have the burrata which was fabulous!! We got the woodfired flat bread to accompany it which was soooo fluffy and so tasty! We had the calamari also which was tender and perfectly crispy and salty! My friend did say though that the serving was not as much as usual so I’ll have to come back to try again 😛
We finished off with the pepperoni pizza which had a chilli honey on it 🌶 🍯 like cmon!! How amazing! Again the pizza base was so fluffy and delicious and it was a generous size! It was definitely hot!!
The vibe was on point- we didn’t book but got a cute little table out the front of the restaurant! Service was friendly and attentive!!
5/5 🤍🪴
Super friendly and welcoming staff, great atmosphere and service. Food and drinks are on point. Definitely recommend this place!!!
This place is still under rated. One of the nicest pizza and pastas we have had in awhile. Steak florentine was brilliant! Food was flavoursome, well portioned and wine list is A+
