We went for a birthday, a table of 8. Order x8 of the chef selection $35 A head. We had a nut allergy and a seafood allergy. Waitress checked said no worries, will just swap the scallops out for cauli bites and no pine nuts on the pizza, which we were happy for. We ended up with a full vegetarian spread with only 2 of the pizzas with salami. We had to continually ask for drinks with mum even going to the bar numerous times to get drinks because we couldn't get served there was only 3 other tables. Was just a bit disappointing. Just missed the mark, ? Put the price up and put some meat selections out. Probably should have just ordered mains and a few entrès

Come here often and keep coming back because overall the food, atmosphere and ambience are enjoyable. Staff are friendly and professional however on almost every occasions service is substandard. It’s slow, drinks aren’t offered almost every time and I almost always need to go get the attention of a the staff to order dessert, sitting here now having waiting 34 mins after finishing mains to be offered dessert with only four other tables being occupied. Nonetheless, would definitely recommend here and everything else is amazing.

A table in “High-Top” was booked but ended up seated right in front of the bar. Service was initially great, with prompt attendance to check drink orders, and the starters came out relatively quickly, but it ended there. The meal took well over an hour to come out after starters, possibly close to 90 minutes, with no one checking for drinks or topping up water in that time. The meals were good but pizza on giant wooden chopping boards with a long handle are too big for the size of the table; this needs a rethink. Noise in the area was really high making conversation with those on the other side of the table impossible. Overall an acceptable experience but not great, and considering this was a birthday and small family reunion, it was a little disappointing.

After a great lunch experience recently we decided on GPO for date night. Unfortunately for us we were served mediocre food at best! Bland, overcooked and over all extremely disappointing. Given what we paid we won’t be going back! No criticism of the staff or the cocktails but if you want high end food, I don’t recommend it.
