    Wonderful welcome, great service. Food camp out as needed and wow how good was it Coln was attentive but not in your face and had some great suggestions. The food was so fresh no wonder it was a Brisbane icon. Sorry to see the end of an error. I’m sure there will be new doors opening. Thank you

    As always another superb dinner at one of my favourite restaurants. I ordered the whole lobster after only having a half on a previous visit. I can honestly say that I had been looking forward to it immensely and it didn’t disappoint. The usual warm and friendly service that Gambaro’s is famous for. Already looking forward to our next visit.

    They clearly didn’t care anymore it was the worst most disappointing experience I have had in any restaurant let alone an old favourite like this one. They failed on every level.
