    The steak was cold and they made a mistake with the bill, but the cocktails and the vibe was good.

    I had a lovely lunch at the Gladstone with a friend. The atmosphere was perfect, food was delicious, and the staff were so kind (and the music wasn't loud!)

    When we arrived, the Gladstone Cafe was closed. Instead, they took us to a dark and dingy room to serve us dinner. It had red carpet and painted plywood walls. They handed us the menu for the Gladstone Cafe but we could not eat there so we left.

    Chicken and waffles flavour was really good but the waffle was hard. Requested a steak knife to cut through waffle. Food took a while to come but was worth the wait. Music could’ve been a bit louder to set the ambience
