gpo

do yourself a favor and never go here. we went here thinking it would be agoodplace to stop for a reasonalbly quick dinner and saw the $5 tacos advertised out the front. there were no tacos left when i tried to order them. i asked the waitress a few simple questions about the other tiems on the menu and she either didnt understand or didn't know the answers, she also didn't have the initiative to go and find out. i gave up and ordered an easy pizza. we then waited almost an hour and a half for some of our food to arrive. 1 meal was completely forgotten (or the waitress from ealier didn't write it down on the order which is quite possible given she didn't know what she was doing) our pizzas were below average in taste, and the ham tasted off, except for the margarita which is hard to stuff up given you only need about 3 ingredients. looking around the whole restaurant seemed to get meals sporadically...half the table had finished their meals long before any other meals arrived. for our meal that never came after almost 2 hours of waiting we were given an appology and $14 off the bill! definitely never going here again. they need to get rid off heaps of staff before this place will be any good!

we are regulars at gpo being local to bendigo and there is a reason we keep coming back. great food, great drinks and awesome staff! chris has been our waiter quite a few times now and always provides an excellent, friendly, personalised service, and makes us feel at home. good, relaxed atmosphere, gpo is always our 'go to' when it comes to dinner and drinks, keep up thegoodwork! a shoutout to nathan for his wonderful service also!

lovely experience. beer battered flathead with hand cut chips were the best fish and chips ive ever had in a restaurant. calamari hadgoodflavour also. we had the pork belly bites to start. these were tasty. couldn't fault the experience and would happily go again.goodselection of local wines also.

great venue but customer service lets it down. there never appears to be a manager or senior staff member around. it feels like a place where people work as a job not profession. food isgoodbut service is hit and miss.

extremely average.goodwait service but a long wait for food. our sizzling garlic prawns were nice but the rest of it was a let-down. cardboard tasting tacos and dry beef sliders.

did well to accommodate a group of 8. ordered the tapas/pizza deal for $30 per head and was great value for money. 4 tapas meals and 3 pizzas. all were verygoodquality and delicious. cocktails were prettygoodtoo and despite not having quite enough staff working, those that were there did a great job, especially sam. well worth a visit.

nice space. sat in the mezzanine area which is agoodspot. service was good. brisk and pleasant. the coffee was certainly tasty but had far too much froth. a shame.

good wasgoodbut not very happy with the service. i understand it is a busy sunday night but we were simply left alone at the attic. the waitresses are clearly untrained since the main courses came before we finished the entree.

wow!!!! amazing food, fantastic service and reallygoodatmosphere! thanks guys, i'll be back with more of us!!!! i had the beef cheek, and celebrated every minute of it! beer selection was great! many thanks for the great service too, really impressed. cheers!

really quite good. easter monday night and not sure where to eat as all the recommended restaurants are closed. stumbled on gpo and have been very pleasantly surprised. excellent friendly service andgoodfood. very kid friendly which is a relief but not full of families with small kids if you know what i mean! not noisy although it is pretty full. defiantly would recommend.

this place used to be one of the best restaurants in town... back in 2007. it seems for the past few years it's lost a lot ofgoodstaff both front and back of house. the food is ok, but nothing amazing. the service is very touch and go. there are nights you'll be forgotten and nights where the waitstaff will very nearly sit down with you. i've given gpo a few chances, now i won't go back.

the food here is amazing. well presented and delicious. the service however, not so spectacular. our orders weren't sent to the kitchen, and it took an hour to realize the mistake, agoodtwenty minutes to convince the staff of their mistake, and another half an hour before we could finally eat. on top of this, no plates or cutlery were provided until after we had finished eating, and napkins had to be retrieved specifically upon request. all this in the dying hours of the night well after the busiest point in the night, and nothing was provided to compensate for our disappointment or inconvenience. the food is great, but the rudeness of floor staff in the face of their own mistakes is enough to make me recommend against a visit.

the food was great, the service? not so much. three orders from our party weren't sent through to the k

with a group of three went to gpo on anzac day for a light lunch. the place was warm, with a fresh decor, light and airy, it has 4 dining areas, it looks great. we were welcomed soon after we entered the door (as was everyone else who followed). we ordered calamari (gluten free) x2, it seemed like agoodsized portion and tasted asgoodas it looked. we had also ordered chicken kebabs that came with pan fried cherry tomatoes with some herbs and with flat bread that had been sprinkled with a dakar. all in all it was a pleasant experience. just note there is a 10% surcharge for public hols. i hope the staff get that %.

great food and awesome.... awesome coffee, great pictures on the coffee andgoodservice from the barista

nice atmosphere and had agoodtappas menu but the mains weren't to flash.goodby bendigo standards though. oh and happy cocktails where to weak.
