We enjoyed a wonderful dinner last night 29/01/2022 and were served by Robyn. What delightful and professional service. She was attentive without being annoying and offered menu choices. Robyn took our photo without being asked. She is a gem. Thank you Gunyah.Our experience was enhanced with her and all the staff we encountered and their care. Rosemary Laughton 😁😁

Great staff. Only negative too many chips and not enough salad. Also too much capsicum in salad for those whose stomach doesn't tolerate
