Gip's Restaurant

Gips is a great place for a nice dinner. The service was great tonight, all the young men who served us at different times were knowledgeable and friendly, offering suggestions and not being pushy about anything. The atmosphere is quiet and elegant, makes for a very relaxing and intimate setting. The food is very delicious but is on the pricey side, there isn't a huge range but there should be something to suit everyone. The drinks menu is extensive, they offer a large range of wines and a decent selection of other drinks too. Looking forward to my next visit!

Went for a business lunch here and the quality of food and service is always a real treat. The whiting was so delicious with a fresh salad just the right size for a lunch.

Had a great night out. The Baramundi was THE best I've had EVER. Great venue with lovely gardens. Very professional and friendly staff.

My husband and I were very impressed with the service. They went out of their way to make us comfortable and nothing was too much trouble. Food was amazing and special. For fine dining this is the best venue. Don't need to rush or feel any pressure. Very reasonable for the quality of the meals and wine. Thanks you

We had a really enjoyable family lunch to celebrate my sister's milestone birthday. The service was attentive and friendly (nothing was too much trouble), and the food was excellent. Highly recommend.

I can’t rate the food or atmosphere only the service. I booked a table for four and a small dog on their Telephone “smart” booking service. One couple was driving from Brisbane and another from a small town two hours out of Toowoomba to celebrate a birthday. Just over thirty minutes before the booking time I received a call to say they couldn’t take our booking because of the dog. They had outdoor seating but weren’t using it during winter but they don’t allow dogs there anyway. I can’t understand why they have a booking system that allows you to book a table with a dog when they aren’t welcome, and I was also advised they can’t have cats and ponies walking about the restaurant either: The chap I spoke to was rude and unapologetic. He was unable to emphasize with the situation I was in or suggest another venue. He just harped on about he couldn’t risk being fined if a health inspector walked in. Strange because we often eat out with the dog and it is commonly accepted at outdoor venues in Brisbane. After arguing with the guy for ten minutes he said they would move a table outside for us but he didn’t want to. We were fortunate to find another friendly delicious venue so we didn’t have to dine where we weren’t welcome.

I had a staff lunch function for one of my staff for her retirement. The food was fantastic, the best I’ve eaten in Toowoomba for some time. Great value for money. The arancini balls and steak in particular were excellent.

Quite a nice fine dining restaurant residing in an old building with a lot of character. The food has been consistently good and the service up to a high standard. We also had our end of the year function here and it was arranged really well with an American food theme with all the staff in costumes and the food was very cleverly prepared.

One of the best restaurants in town. The food was amazing, I had a smoke salmon main with an​ apple crumble desert. Would differently go back. Not sure one price as my meal was a work expensive, which makes the meal even better.

Valentine's dinner... It was a set menu, good choices, but poor execution. I had the scallop entre, and there was one lonely scallop with a horrible textural crumb, and fatty gelatin base. The barramundi main was nice, besides the potato with pink grapefruit pulp mixed in. Potatoes and pink grapefruit? Yup! Tastes about as good as you imagine - disgusting. The potatoes were also infused with some bitterness that I couldn't place. Some misplaced micro herb. The dessert was a saving grace! Mint chocolate ice cream, raspberry purée, macaron, and chocolate truffle-thingy. We didn't get the jellies that we were meant to, but the espresso was nice. The service was a little here and there. I had to flag someone down to order a glass of wine. We sat with our dirty dishes for far too long before being cleared, but this isn't usual for Gip's. The food and service are usually fab, but on Valentine's Day, they tried to be different and they missed the mark...

Gips deserves a 5 Star Rating! The ease of making a reservation on line was so easy , we were able to request somewhere warm and intimate! The whole reservation process was very simple, clear and easy to understand with instant confirmation! Upon arrival we were greeted with a warm friendly Staff member and seated in an area we requested The food menu is Simple but what I would class as by well thought out covering all tastes and ages ! The Staff were very knowledgable and passionate about the food served and the Food quality and taste , presentation was amazing , all with very generous serves of everything ranging from tasting plates to mains and sides and deserts My only criticism would be the range of wine available by the Glass as opposed to buying a bottle but aside that this restaurant is perfect Highly recommended!

I visited this place twice as well - once in the cafe as a guest, and the other as part of the bridal party for a wedding. The first time was simply in the cafe for a coffee - I had a macchiato, which was full bodied as expected and could not be faulted. As far as wedding venues goes, it's a small room, but the food that came out was absolutely wonderful. The chicken dish served in the wedding was out of this world as far as wedding meals go - especially for the size of it. It was a bit stuffy in the room, but we managed to get the doors opened to allow for some airflow.

My Hubby and I dine here on whenever we get a chance and on special occasions. It is by far our favourite restaurant in The greater Toowoomba area, rivalling even the best in Brisbane. Very much worth while. A bit more expensive than a lot of other places but worth every cent. Frequent menu updates as well as a diverse and unique selection. Very nice ambient dining atmosphere and the staff have always been pleasant.
