   Hi Terry, We're so glad you enjoyed the food and drinks, and we sincerely apologise for the delay with your order. As our team explained at the time, a system glitch caused by a brownout on Friday night affected some orders. We truly regret the inconvenience this caused, which is why we provided your meals free of charge as an apology. We always strive to provide the best experience and appreciate your patience and understanding. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards, Team GVH.

   Great space and dog friendly without being in the street. Lovely courtyard and atmosphere. Great staff and well priced menu.

   Waiting over an hour for curiosity bus,. Had booking at 7.30pm arrived late (7.50)when ordering meals at 8pm, been told no scotch fillet, no crispy pork belly, no Thai curry.. it’s disappointing with having to eat something you don’t want. It was my daughters 18th birthday and been asked at 9.30pm for my son to leave as his under age, which I get that however we just got two desserts sent to our table to sing happy birthday and security asked him to leave the premises. As I explained to the security we are waiting for my daughter to return back from the bar to sing, then we will leave. Not ok to push out my family and friends when we are there to celebrate her milestone, then once again waiting for over another hour waiting for curiosity bus. Maybe look into having another bus to commute patrons. Never had this experience two years ago,, but won’t be back SORRY!!

   The whole experience was very enjoyable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and well presented. For anyone who enjoys their food the Canecutter's Parmi is for you. My wife's Eye Fillet was cooked to perfection.

   We shared number of entrees instead of having a main course etc. The Coffin Bay oysters, the Togarashi Scallops and the Greek Fried Calamari were excellent. The Beetroot Cured ocean Trout was a bit salty for our taste buds otherwise it would have been 5 stars. The service staff member was excellent and responsive to our requests allowing us to stagger orders over the evening. There was no delay with drink orders. Highly recommend.
