We had a truly lovely lunch at GK today. The food was all delicious and the service from Laura and her team was warm and friendly. My mother had the Barramundi, which was cooked to perfection, my nephew had the kids Chicken strips raved about his crispy potatoes and my niece enjoyed ordering off the Tapas menu, devouring Beef brisket tacos, Charred corn & mozzarella croquettes and some shared meatballs. Every dish was so tasty and fast to come out (which was great as the kids are always impatient for food!) This restaurant is definitely a new favourite!

The service was outstanding, particularly our very attentive and kind french waitress. The food was delicious, especially the duck and the fried chicken skin (thanks to the honey-truffel dressing).
