Gimlet at Cavendish House Melbourne Reviews from The Last Year
Disappointing experience
Our second visit to Gimlet didn’t hit the right notes like our first visit (which is why we are back again). Service - Felt like the staff didn’t have time for us (the place wasn’t packed as we went there for late dinner) and we received the bare minimum service from the wait staff. Food - Decent but wasn’t spectacular. The menu selection was rather lackluster too. Disappointed with the whole dining experience as I was looking forward to it. For the amount paid, there are better options out there (with better service).
Husband 50th Birthday
Went here to celebrate my husband 50th birthday. From the beginning to the end The food, the staff were amazing. We were lucky to have the Palm Room which we were offered even though we only had 8 guests. It was semi private and was nice to draw the curtains and be a bit secluded from the main dining room
Extortionate Champgane and Bar Prices . . . What Could Have Been Second Time Around . . . Was Just Not :-[
Our second time to Gimlet which was not as good as the first summer visit last year 2023 - sadly :-[ My partner and i were SO excited to again be dining at Gimlet but were quickly reminded how overpriced the alcohol was ! We sat in the upstairs section along little collins - unfortunately the tables are set with one chair facing the laneway/window, which means the man (usually) gets no view of the restaurant ambience for the whole night. Not great when you are paying a minimum of $300 plus for dinner. My bill was $425 and i am not keen to return if i cannot see the stunning interior too. Service wise you cannot be faulted sas your staff are clearly not overpriced, so well done on that one. Foodwise we had the roast chicken which was delicate and tasted nice, but not as good as last year (same dish), as it lacked seasoning and would have been better if the stunning sauce was in a sauce pot and not on the serving plate. - i had to pour it off the plate onto my partners dish - not a great look when we were sitting next to an ex Prime Minister ! Sides wise, last year we had the most incredible salad drizzled in the most incredible spring onion bright green sauce - a truly remarkable and unique flavor (we had been salivating this thought for weeks) - sadly this visit it was just a boring very expensive leafy lettuce : bring the spring onion salad back ! Drinks wise offering a low grade 'house ' champagne for $198 a bottle is an insult to your customers - we tasted it and it was over bearingly bubbly and grassy, leaving us no option but to go up a grade to $50 a glass champagne - as the next bottle up started at $250 yes $250 ! I have never been to a fine dining restaurant where you leave your customers no option other than to spend $250 for one bottle of decent quality french. Considering your meals (which are stunning and requires great labour to produce) average for between $45 > $65 a main, charging a whopping $250 a bottle to enjoy a fine drink is just extortion - add a starting cocktail and maybe a desert wine - you do the math. Wine wise a decent glass of Shiraz started at $45 glass - yes $45 a glass : again just extortion. I absolutely respect you have costs to cover Gimlet, but your pricing of mains vs your drinks is beyond rediculously disproportionate. Considering my partner and i spend hundreds and hundreds on fine french champgane weekly we know value and what is a good french drop and knowing the main Australian importer quite well, having done private tours of the worlds top 5 champagne houses, well we know what the costs are . . . . so your pricing is extortion. Your house should start around $125 with the next level at $175 - not $198 house and $250 plus. The oldest sales advice applies here reduce the cost and sell more more more . . . as we stuck on 2 drinks each and would have gone 4 each if the pricing was more respectable. So sadly we wont be back in a hurry as there are far better value for hard earned money restaurants such as Grill Americano - Entricotte + L'Hotel Gitane + Victor Churchill to name a few I hope you take this review respectfully and consider its contents, then change your alcohol pricing down and up the food pricing.
Top Notch!
Absolutely amazing dinner! Came here to celebrate our engagement and they did not disappoint! Food, service, atmosphere all to perfection! Wanted to say a huge thank you to Anthony and Sebastian for really ensuring we had an amazing time! Can’t wait to come back to Melbourne for another dinner here :)
Great Meal
Four of us went to Gimlet for our daughter's 30th birthday celebration dinner. The service was exceptional, with all staff being very friendly and informative. We spent $641 and had a cocktail, 2 red wines (per glass) a beer, a bottle of red and one glass of fortified wine. We had the 900gm T-bone, the half lobster, chips and salad. The food was sufficient for the four us and we didn't have room for desserts.
Good but not outstanding
Very nice experience dining at Gimlet but this was more due to the atmosphere, service and company I was with than the food, which, although very good, was not outstanding. The menu is meat and seafood heavy. Dishes are simple and require sides to balance the meal. These too are simple, for example, the salad was simply dressed lettuce. I did enjoy the Gimlet cocktail however!
Gnocco fritto, bresaola and parmesan
Came here without a booking. Resto was fully booked out and left the bar counter seats which is comfortable and interesting. I had 3 Starter + 1 Entree. Had a sparkling Rose to start which is delicious but tiny pour. 2nd glass is an Austria wine which is of right size and ok. Overall, the food is very good and unique. Good to come even if you're alone. However is not wallet friendly :)
Taste of Melbourne
Delicious food from appetizers to dessert! We were here for a family celebration and especially appreciated the attentive staff. The suggested wines beautifully paired with the meal. It was a wonderful evening out!
Food very average
Food is very average. Feels like a home cook (nothing that you can't make yourself at home). The "House Special" Coral Trout was a total failure, the fish was firm and rubbery, so either overcooked or microwaved or combination of both... also was served with small school-prawns that were not soft-shell, but too small to peal so could not be eaten (seemed like a poor attempt to make a dish fancy to charge $170). Unfortunately, won't be back. There are much better restaurants out-there such as Nomad, Sebastians, Philipe, Entrecote, Oushou etc.
Fantastic
Fantastic restaurant. The service was top notch. They were able to accommodate dietary issues with no problem at all. Great atmosphere. It was not quiet but not uncomfortably noisy. The food was fantastic. I enjoyed every course of the set menu and would recommend it. This is a great place for a romantic night as a couple or a fun dinner with friends.
Okay, but better restaurants in the ownership group
This is part of several restaurants owned by the same group. We had at four of them during our visit to Melbourne and I have reviewed these individually. to be fair, we enjoyed our food at all four restaurants, but perhaps this was our least appealing. Compared to the others, it was much bigger, but did not have the same buzz as Marian, the different type of flavours at Supernormal and the cosiness of Cumulus. Whilst the food was good, we did not find it anything special, but again we are comparing it with other restaurants in the group. The service without question was not as good and we did not feel that was the same level of attentiveness. We are not trying to put anybody off of this restaurant, perhaps it was just not for us, and again the food was not poor, but just not special. I hope others have a better experience.
Faultless
My new favourite in Melbourne. Outstanding wine list, superb service with flare and formality, All our meals were outstanding. A great buzz and atmosphere with a beautiful decor. Forget the rest this is the best.
Delicious lunch
Great service by Keelan who was very friendly, helpful & attentive throughout our visit. Lovely environment, good buzz around the place, lots of people watching to be had! Food was delicious. I had lobster & husband had strip steak, both cooked perfectly & presented well. Not the cheapest meal we’ve had whilst visiting but was worth it. Would recommend a visit.
Save your $ and eat elsewhere. Fancy and pompous but not the quality or service you would expect.
Offered a supper experience for a 10pm seating however given a full dinner service menu. Expensive and limited options that left me wanting more. Food was good, but expected better. Did not receive attentive service. Raining nights wasn’t even offered an umbrella, taxi call or dinner mint. Disappointing with stars awarded for food quality.
Overpriced and average
Overpriced for average food and drinks. Disappointed as I felt food didn’t match the hyped reviews Service was bit snooty however staff have been well trained. Did appreciate they were ok with us being late due to rainy weather. Wouldn’t come back here - not with for the price or experience.
Best cocktail
Amazing bar, great atmosphere, very professional, friendly staff. The best cocktail I have ever had - Rum Baba by Matt. Thank you so much x

Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!

As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.

Last Reply by 👻 @EnjoyableJelly34 (11/14/2022 12:34 pm)5 Thumbs Up2 Replys, 0 commentsWhose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Best answer by 👻 @HandsomeCollar14 (06/29/2022 11:31 am)4 Thumbs Up6 Answers, 3 commentsWorking on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Best answer by 🥷🏻 @ColorfulRod45 (09/18/2021 1:07 am)3 Thumbs Up1 Answer, 2 commentsWhere do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
Best answer by 🦩 @FluffyStar64 (07/13/2021 9:05 pm)3 Thumbs Up12 Answers, 2 commentsWhat happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
