Meals are always consistently very good quality. Mains menu seems to change seasonally/yearly? Personal favourites were the prawn fettuccine and the pesto gnocchi.

Came here to have dinner, ended up ordering a bunch of appetizers and they were divine. The stuffed mushrooms 10/10, they had the best octopus I’ve ever had in my life, and the wine selection was perfection. Had one of the best cab savs here to pair with dinner. Was genuinely surprised in the best way possible. Who would have thought? Keep it up!

This restaurant was one of the ten restaurants i have been to in the last 6 months. Rock salt was a little hard to fine its in the hotel.I was taken to my seat the water asked if i wanted drinks, i said yes please a red Cosmopolitan, its like a red gummy bear. So nice.Then grace brought out my drinks. Grace was so polite and her energy will lighten up a room,Food 5Entree i had the octopus. It was so soft and the flavours where perfect.Main i had the peri peri chicken. The was one of the best mains iv had in a very long time. The chicken was cooked to perfection was juicy and tender, it worked really well with the haloumi cheese, however i loved with when you also add the Pomegranate and walnuts having a little but of everything at once really show cases this dish!Dessert i had the Crème brûlée. I loved the Pistachio and vanilla ontop it has a thin layer of crunchy suger ontop of the Crème brûlée it was also amazing.The service was so on point. All the staff are happy and welcoming,The cocktails where amazing i loved the 3 i had. The best long island i have ever had look at the colour in the photos perfection, the red Cosmopolitan was like a red gummy bear. The ladies would love this. The espresso martini was very strong. the only one thing this Restaurant was missing,was some nice back ground music.If you havent tried this restaurant i can not Recommend this restaurant enough.

Food is really good. Service is half and half. The lady the desk is welcoming. The guy at the bar is clearly not loving his job. The girl at the tables is doing an excellent job. Ambience is not too bad. Clean floors, clean table and chairs. A little bit dirty walls. Otherwise it's okay. For Gladstone, it's good.

I've been meaning to write a review for years.I'm not sure if it's the same chef or different but the quality and presentation of the meals is always the same. Ridiculously good I've tried many of the mains and deserts and they never disappoint.If you stay at the Gladstone Central Hotel you can get room service.I'm actually staying at a different hotel this time and made the walk to try the food again.Still on par. I'll be booking this hotel next because of the ease of such nice food. And the rooms are as good, if not better then more expensive ones in town.If you care to dine in, the staff are well trained and polite making the experience even better.Easily the best restaurant in town.I'll be back.PS. I have no affiliation with any staff, resto or hotel making this review.

Seriously good stuff, steak perfect, beans fresh as, good portion size. Calamari starter was excellent. Couldn't have asked for a nicer meal.

The best restaurant in Gladstone! Lovely service, beautiful outdoor deck where we enjoyed drinks before dinner and our family had the most enjoyable meal! Kids meal (grilled chicken, mash and veges) was very tasty (as rated by kids and adults!) and great serving of greens. Beef brisket was tender and delicious and the grilled barramundi was perfectly cooked and had the crispiest skin. Tiramisu pot plant was gorgeous. Highly recommend!
