Italian Stallion - GYMEA

One of my favourite all time clubs, from the moment you walk in, the bistro has excellent choice of food & the wall of wine has an amazing selection.

We were pre-warned before we got here about this place. And the warning was accurate. Food at Italian Stallion is very good, however service leaves a lot to be desired. The gentleman serving us was stand-offish and asked my friend some very inappropriate questions. People obviously heard our table discussing the affront, then we realised our original waiter was replaced by a more professional lady for the remainder of the time while we waited for our desserts and the bill (about 20 minutes).That being said, all of our meals were superb, we had decided to "trust the chef" and we were not dissapointed. Food here is quite delicious, and if you do trust the chef, you're definitely going to leave pleasantly satisfied and very full. Despite the unpleasant waiter for the first half of our time there, company was great, food was spot on and we would probably go back should we find ourselves back down Gymea way.

We had previously attended Mothers Day weekend and Service

What an amazing experience! Arrived for dinner at 6pm tonight, and as soon as we had arrived a black out hit Gymea, lasting until 8.00pm. The amazing staff were all so friendly, bought us drinks straight away and set to work out everything they could still cook via candle light. I had been recommended the chilli crab linguine and fresh focaccia and could not believe how impressive both were. Even more so given the circumstances. Can not fault the staff from beginning to end, it was amazing service and great attitudes. Very impressive to find this caliber of hospitality within the Sutherland Shire

We had the 'chefs choice' meal which was five courses of the chefs choosing for $60.00 per head. All dishes were very nice but the outstanding one for me was a Duck Salad.
