Gambaro Seafood Restaurant

Best seafood, good wines, disabled parking very welcome.

Great Experience for a Birthday. Food was amazing and the service was lovely.

A great meal with good drinks and impeccable service. The meals were prompt and came out at a good pace.
Wr would come back anytime.

Really nice seafood lunch, thanks to Gambaro staff for a great experience.

Apart from the company of my husband it was a very disappointing experience. Service was very slow, not all cocktails available as per the menu and the seafood BBQ was overcooked - salmon dry, prawns dry and not juicy and the scallops were almost rubbery. Both entrees were delightful - raw fish and King Crab. Overall, overpriced for poor service and an overcooked main meal.

We were celebrating our coming back to Queensland with our friends and shared the lobster specials.We all were happy about the food and the Cape Mentelle semillon Sauvignon Blanc.The sweet were also good but the service very very slow...The restaurant was not terribly busy but the kitchen was slow and our waitress did not know the menu ‘s composition as well as checking our table regularly.

Had single lobster roll as entree and whole lobster Thermidor as main with cocktails and bottle pier LTC all served under cover restrictions but very well. It was the chef's cooking and assembly that was outstanding especially the light touch with the lobster main. Have already booked for a return.

Very nice food, excellent service. Thanks.

Terrible!

•Service was non-existent and when you could get one of the waiters attention they could not understand you and had no idea about the menu, drinks or generally how to serve - (I would understand somewhat if the restaurant was busy, but there were many empty table).
•Food was something you could get at a basic fish and chip shop but very expensive and no consistency.

The Manager did talk to us when I complained about not being able to get someone to take our initial drinks order and said he would comp that round on him however after looking at the bill when I got home this did not occur. He did speak to us again on our way out and we did advise him of how bad it was, all he said was “ok thanks for letting me know”!

Delicious and Fresh what more do you want from a seafood restaurant

The services are good and the staff are friendly. The food is at high quality.

An excellent meal. The service was prompt. All covid measures had been taken but were not over the top so as to spoil the occasion.

Mt Partner and Myself had a great meal at your restaurant on New Years Day, the service we received from James was excellent and overall we had an excellent lunch.
Congratulations to all the staff of Gambaro's.

Thank you,

Brian and Alison.

The restaurant decor was classy, very pleased to eat without the noise of other patrons drowning out your conversation. Drink choices in abundance with a wide seafood selection. I will definitely refer others and will visit again. Fine dining at its best A+.

We had a very nice experience and the wait staff were very attentive.

I have never written a negative review on a restaurant before. The crayfish was deplorable. The only saving grace was the wine. I have read other reviews. I must have been at the wrong place. Would like that 1 1/2 hours pf my life back. If you go there good luck .

Everything was amazing. However they have double charged us and we are still waiting for a call back.

platter for 2 was too expensive for what it was wouldn’t order again too much ice not enough seafood. A whole lobster would be better than half for the money paid

The staff were lovely, particularly the Irish man who was super friendly and helpful while not pretentious given my family aren’t really used to set menus and were nervous about making gaffs. Thank you all!

It’s not often the planets align and all the boxes are ticked. We had a really lovely night with amazing food and fantastic service. I’m looking forward to trying their other restaurants.
Very happy customer.

Excellent food, well presented and very very nice.

Wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to friends.

Service seems very unenthusiastic and it’s Christmas which was disappointing.

I paid a fortune for an average meal.

When you raise your prices, you raise my expectations and unfortunately they are not well received.

Wine wasn’t even chilled to the appropriate temperature.

The whole experience was a let down.

Everything was the best quality the service was excellent

Nice atmosphere, we were a table of 8 celebrating a birthday. When we arrived we were seated at a large square table near the entrance, we asked if we could be moved to a smaller quieter table so that we could all talk and hear each other, we were moved with no problem, staff were very friendly and service was great.

Food was delicious, a few people at our table ordered the $99 set menu and were very happy. Our birthday dessert was received with a candle and birthday wishes written in chocolate on the plate.

Overall great food and service.

Not recommended, much better value elsewhere! Service was slow as not enough wait staff on.... Seafood was nice.

Thank you Gambaros for making our Christmas lunch so relaxing and enjoyable
Best Christmas party we have had in many years

Great place to have a decent meal. Really good service as well.

There is never a wrong time to dine at Gambaro’s, especially if seafood is your culinary preference.

Wonderful food / service / location / company. Loved it.

We really enjoyed a delicious meal with great service.
Look forward to going back.
Thank you to all the staff.

Excellent at all levels and very impressive food quality and value

Our group has, in the past, been very big supporters of and constant patrons at Gambaro's. After Saturday evening we'll be hard pressed to ever return.

The food was very good, however it's priced so that it should be.

The wine list was poor. It has too big a gap between the bottom and the top and virtually no "intermediate" value (in all varietals).

The service, from an experienced waiter, was "placid" at best. 3 of us left the restaurant saying "had the waiter shown an ounce of energy, we would have bought at least another 3 bottles of wine".

A disappointing experience alround, albeit with great food (but again, at a price point where the food should be good). I'm concerned for the viability of the business now that the wonderful long-term owner has departed.

Michael's presence was missed, and the departure of his good management and attention to detail, was obvious on what was a very busy and active floor.

Cannot fault the service or ambience but the prices are outrageous. Food was well cooked but there isn’t any value for money.

A lovely relaxing lunch with a valued colleague, lovely food, great service and lovely atmosphere

Lovely lunch in a beautiful dining atmosphere. Food and service exceptional.

If you love seafood, this is a must. Staff are efficient, friendly and attentive

A very enjoyable meal.
very efficient and pleasant staff

Always enjoy the Gambaro experience !!!

Very disappointed, the mussels may have been ok but the sauce was terrible. Maybe chunks of tinned tomatoes and if the few mussels weren’t destroyed by this and the chorizo there was a herb that didn’t go!,
My main meal of lobster ($80) was either from frozen produce or badly cooked

The food and service at Gambaro's were excellent and I would recommend. Great hot chocolate as well.
