Always love eating here and knowing it’s truely gluten free

Amazing, as always.
I have coeliac disease so this restaurant is always my first choice but regardless of that I would still pick it every time. The food is amazing, the staff are so professional and excellent at what they do. The food is mouth wateringly good. It is fine dining with a lively fun atmosphere. This place is an institution and I am hoping it is around forever!

I love this place. The food is amazing, the cauliflower mac n cheese is the bomb! It's the perfect place for a girl's night out as it's quiet enough (during COVID) to hear yourself and chat easily. The staff are friendly and very amenable. Needed to push back our booking half an hour and it was no problem. Lovely cocktails although I miss the Mr Men inspired cocktails.

Bottomless Brunch on Sunday - wow - great value, very attentive service. Table of 4 with a vegan guest accommodated perfectly! It was a great way to sample the food and the drinks were OUTSTANDING. I have no hesitation recommending this venue. It was a gorgeous way to spend a Sunday afternoon. I will be back to try more of the menu in the future. Delish!

The food is amazing and it’s so awesome to have an entirely gluten free menu. The staff are all fun and friendly. We’ll be back soon

Waiter was rude and sarcastic and made us feel uncomfortable for dining there.

Great food, great drinks, great place, we loved it!

Couldn't fault it! Food was outstanding and cocktails were delicious.

Would definitely recommend Bottomless Brunch to anyone thinking of trying it! Cocktails were delicious and there was a great selection. The food was beautiful and just the right amount! The service was attentive and in particular one waiter was so polite and made our experience even better! Will be back - thank you :)

Usually we have a great time at recess, this time was very disappointing. We were seated right inside the (very busy) front door in a poky alcove facing a power box. Table was set with lovely flowers but the glassware and plates were dirty. The food was underwhelming which was surprising as we normally have excellent food here. The service was great but we left feeling very underwhelmed and quite frustrated with our dining experience.

The waiters and waitresses were very attentive and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the food we had chosen. Will certainly recommend to other friends.

Loved the share plates. It's a nice way to sample a variety of foods rather than just having one dish.

We loved our experience especially the food and service!

This venue seems great for a group of young people to sit, have drinks and nibble. It is a bar downstairs, not a restaurant. There was a drag show going on upstairs on the Friday night my partner and I attended which would have been great to attend, if I had wanted to go to a club. Having all the performers and dancers clamber past while we we’re trying to shout through our conversation was a bit much. Too crowded, way to loud, and not exactly what I was expecting when I booked. A great place for some, just not for me.

The food was delicious. Great service, our waitress was really friendly and helpful.

The bottomless lunch was great, the drinks list was very extensive with cocktails. The only was, it was very noisy we were squeezed in between 2 tables of eight people on each. Next time I would probably try upstairs but overall was a great 2 hours

Best value for money at Recess, this was such a great venue for Bottomless brunch. The food was amazing and came out consistently as we were told it would, staff were lovely and displayed happiness for their job which is great to see. Cocktails were, wow perfect and not watered down like other bottomless brunch places I have attended. Hands down will be back, best $80 spent :)
Thanks for having us Recess ;)

Fantastic drinks and feed pork belly and mac and cheese are a must

We had the Chef's choice, enjoyed sampling the range and the service was excellent by the two staff.

Lovely meal and entertainment. Would come back again.

Amazing food. We loved every dish we tried. And super happy to see the whole menu is gluten free. Attentive and friendly service also. Live in Melbourne, but would make the trip to Geelong just to visit this place again.

Excellent food catering to gluten intolerance. It was very noisy due to the drag show upstairs. But this may only be on certain nights. Also they seemed understaffed on the night. they were however very apologetic around wait times. Overall though I will go back as we had a lovely time.

Food amazing. Friendly staff. Great cocktails - talented barman who made creative cocktails to our liking (not on the menu). Great atmosphere. Definitely visit again.

Food and cocktails were delicious. Everything came out with good timing even though it was busy. Would deffinetly come back.

Service was outstanding. The food is amazing. Perfect.

I have only gratitude for Recess and their fabulous staff. They made my partners birthday an absolutely beautiful and memorable experience and I would just like to thoroughly thank all of them for the fantastic food, atmosphere and kindness.

Incredible food. Great service. Terrific atmosphere. Sat outside and was beautiful with the heaters on.

Good to know there are restaurants of this quality & style in Geelong. Great night with very attentive friendly staff. Most of the food was wonderful both in presentation & taste however I found the duck a little underwhelming & won't order it next time.

Great food and atmosphere. It's a must...

We did the Chef’s choice, was a good choice, plenty to eat and tasty as..

As a regular customer we would highly recommend Recess to all our friend from the moment we walk in we are greeted at the door by friendly staff our table has been ready and waiting for us, the staff are curtious and happy to be of assistance.
Try it you will like it.

Beautiful food & amazing staff!

Fabulous food, super service and spectacular staff

Amazing food and service. Cocktails are fabulous. Great quality.

Always great food, the menu has plenty of variety and well balanced between small and larger dishes and sides. The dessert was a first and delicious way to finish. Sitting upstairs was a fantastic change.

I adore Recess food. My friends and family also love it. You would never know it is 100% gluten free! The service is always excellent. The unlimited drinks is fantastic. I love working my way through the cocktail list.

Love it more every time I go :) Brought a friend with me this time who had never been before. She said it was the best restaurant she'd been to in Geelong. Totally agree :)

Service was slow for bottomless brunch. Strict rules about how many drinks/when you can order drinks.
Food was amazing though.

First time since Covid dining that gives you a full dining experience. Entree, main and dessert in the allocated time without feeling rushed. Service at its best and food is delicious.

We went to Recess just after lockdown so it was still limited numbers. It didn't disappointed at all though! The cocktails, food and service was all first class and we had a great night. We will definitely be back next time we visit Geelong!
