    A big fan of this restaurant. I’ve dined there 3 times in the past week for various occasions and all experiences have been exceptional. Margaritas are perfectly made and complement the style of Thai food well. Bites & Skewers all amazing and the duck curry and short ribs are other dishes we’ve enjoyed.

    Could not fault a single thing! The gin cocktails were lovely and the food was yummy. Our server was extremely attentive. The worst thing was the rain and the venue cannot control the weather.

    Wonderful meal again at Gum Bistro. Sunday lunch at Gum Bistro means welcoming service and great food and drinks. You can't go wrong picking anything on the food and the drinks menu. Our mains were the Fish, Quail and Vegetable Gratin. All beautifully prepared, cooked and tasted fabulous. An extensive drinks list and an extended wine list means you can be sure that anything you feel like drinking is covered. A very enjoyable lunch!

    We went there to celebrate our friend's birthday around 7 pm. The staff were super nice and friendly. I'm a vegetarian, and they tried to fulfil my requirements as I wanted the rice bowl without salmon. The food was so good; we loved the tacos so much. The turmeric and coconut rice was the best! We will definitely come back!
