This was our 2nd visit to Gastro park, and it was very much like our first visit, amazing food, with slow service. Was left waiting for our table for 45 minutes, although complimentary Putanesca wafer did a bit to resolve this. When we were put to our table, our waitress was very nice, and explained the food well, drinks were again slow.

But my word, the food. Perfect, hare and quail consommé with liquid pumpkin gnocchi was amazing. Roast suckling pig with crackling was fantastic along with highly surprising roasted fruit. Dessert was one of the highlights, Nitro buttermilk pavlova, truffle clay, white chocolate and passionfruit dragon egg, were simply sublime. Really top notch.

I came here with 5 friends on a voucher, the food was very nice and we had no complaints about the quality at all.

But we ordered the dessert, eight treasure with Szechuan ice cream, which was a huge disappointment, although the ice cream could pass for average, the blandness of the 8 treasure was unforgivable. Coles frozen dessert tasted better. Which is a shame as the food otherwise was fantastic.

Came here on a Living social voucher, and ordered the big breakfast, was pretty nice, although nothing special. Poached eggs were cooked very well, and had a lovely runny middle, along with tasty beef sausage.

Came here on a friday night before a movie, was greeted by friendly staff, service was friendly for the night. The starter of Vege samosa was nice enough, but the garnish of uneven carrot batons was bizarre. Rojan Josh was one of the better ones I had for a while, the lamb was nice and tender and had great flavours, while the butter chicken was a standard butter chicken, creamy sauce and tender chicken. Finished off with gulab jamun which was very surprising, nice finish.

Came here on a voucher deal, food was pretty good, and since there was a larger group we ordered extra dishes. Standout dish of the night was soft shell crab.
Have been here a few times and massaman lamb shanks are always a winner!

Came here for the let's do lunch special on a busy Friday, at the start the service was very attentive, our lunch (barramundi and asparagus) was delicious. Beautifully cooked fish and presentation was great. Side of mash had a wonderful buttery and smooth texture.

Dessert of Chocolate delice and cheesecake was stunning, licking the plate might have been acceptable. However, we asked for the bill and we were forgotten about, 15 minutes later had to ask another waiter. The only glitch on a faultless lunch.

Dined here on a quiet wednesday night, tried 3 dishes between 2 of us, with the house red. Tried the fregola, which is like a rissotto, more puffs of pasta than rice, had great texture and worked really well with the corn, and corn bread (again surprisingly tasty), dish of the night was the char siu pork neck, tender pork with subtle asian flavours - excellent, we also tried the lamb rump which was served medium rare, but pretty much pink, flavour wise it was very good.

Dessert was the biggest let down, we ordered Chocolate, Mulberry and Liquorice salt, although the chocolate mousse was tasty, the rest had a lot to be desired, liquorice totally overpowered the dish, and in the end all we could taste was chocolate. However the macaroons were excellent. After today I would be very interested in their Tuesdays tasting menu.

Dined here on a voucher on a busy Thursday night. We were lead to a long table, which seemed put aside for voucher users, a bit disappointed with this, as was more in the waiting area as opposed to the restaurant. The service at the start was fast, friendly and efficient.

Our canapés and bread arrived, the bread was delicious and the butter complemented it very well. The canapé was excellent, baby scallop with beetroot puree with babaganoush and yam crisp. Very tasty indeed.

We ordered both pressed pork and prawns. Pork was fantastic, salty, sweet and full of flavour, prawns were very tasty, but the pork won the day. The main was salmon and lamb, we also ordered sides of mash and carrots. The lamb was amazing, fall apart and so tasty. Perfectly cooked, the salmon was very nice.

By now the restaurant was very busy, and service reflected this, when they cleared our plates we asked for dessert menu, but took 20mins to receive and further 20mins to come out - But it was worth the weight! Perfectly cooked chocolate fondant with chocolate oozing from the centre - divine!

Overall food was stunning as good as any 1 hat I've been to, but service was a little slow towards the end. I would certainly come back - stunning.

Dined here on a busy Saturday night over the long weekend, service was pretty friendly and responsive. The food was excellent, special mention for the onion soup and kebab. Ordered the pigs head, and was very tasty, dessert of eton mess and burnt cream were both delicious.
