   Good quality food with good choice. Happy hour from 4 to 6pm is a bonus.

   We had a fantastic dining experience at The Gap. The food was incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavour. The dishes were perfectly cooked and full of rich, delicious taste. Overall, this place offers a perfect combination of excellent service and fantastic food. I highly recommend it and will be coming back.

   Service is terrible. We waiting nearly two hours for our mains while watching numerous people who arrived well after us receive entrees and other things. Noticed many others having the same experience. Looks like this may be a procedure issue?

   Went there on Valentines night 6pm. Got told we had an hour and a half to eat etc. In short we nearly out stayed our welcome due to bad service. Due to the day (valentines) they obviously over booked the restaurant out. It was chaotic at best I watched our food do a circumnavigation of the restaurant before it came to us. I saw our drinks stay on the bar for over 10 minutes before being served to us. When the food eventually did come out it was cold and my wife ordered the salt and pepper squid which was over seasoned and inedible. It was also obvious that the table we were on had been brought out of storage as they were tatty and in disrepair and there was no numbering or management system in place. The floors were sticky and dirty. It was a joke to be honest. It was very disappointing as we have been here before and got great food and service. We will be thinking hard before returning.

   I was being generous rating this a 2 star. We ate here on Valentines Day, not for a romantic dinner but wanting a nice meal with good conversation. The service was so mediocre. Nothing special about the meals either. We wanted cocktails during happy hour but the deal which was advertised was exempt because of VD. So false advertising!!!!!!! Our Mains came before our Entrees and I mentioned this to the waitress and she replied it was coming. It never came. For an apology we got 1 free dessert and was told that our Entrees would be deleted. That didn’t happen either. Our dessert could’ve done with some heating up but it was served stone cold with whip cream out of a can which by the time it reached our table it had liquified. Won’t be going back.

   Service was great and prompt, but it wasn't busy at all. Food tasted good but not great, a little bland, but will go again for lunch when they have specials on

   What a surprise. We were not aware that the Greek food on the menu would be of such a high standard. Sunbury does lack a Greek restaurant and The Gap will be our new go to. The staff were lovely and the meat platter for two was wonderful. I feel that they need to push their marketing and focus towards their Greek offerings and they would increase their customer base in this area. Very enjoyable evening.

    The staff were so helpful and just created a fantastic vibe. I was there for a team dinner with team members from all over Melbourne, Surrey Hills, oak park, local out to Woodend and they all just loved it. Food was amazing !! We will be back that's for sure!
