Review Gaslight Restaurant - Dunedin

One of the restaurants that I make sure we dine there whenever traveling to Dunedin but this time was a three course set menu for graduated students and their families. The lamb was the most delicious amongst the 4 mains on the menu. The desserts on the set menu were yummy too, so was the entrée.

Wow, such an awesome and delightful place to dine in. The food is absolutely delicious and flavourful. And the lemon cheesecake was fabulous. Staff were superb and friendly. 😊Gaslight is by far one of the best places I've been to. Definitely will have to revisit sometime in the future🤓🥳😋

Went here with family for dinner, wanted to try somewhere different and having browsed the menu online decided to go here. I thought the place was really nice, has an old style theme going with some nice displays of old equipment (cameras, radio etc) and some nice old photos. As for the food everyone really enjoyed their meals was the perfect amount so you left full but not bloated. At least the night we went even though there were a few people here it was not noisy so made it easy to to hear what each other said without having to raise your voice. Would be a good place to have an intimate dinner.

Great to find a restaurant open and able to dine at, as most closed by 8pm.(Sunday) Delicious meals, the best service and the decor was interesting, having a historical sense. Radios, photography,lights.

The very nice restaurant to have a romantic dinner! The entree was excellent and the Boeuf was succulent. They have an excellent wine list. The service was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Good meals and service. Nice atmosphere for a pleasant evening out with friends. Pricing is reasonable and the host eager friendly and eager to please. Just need to be mindful and book ahead as it is popular so you will not be disappointed. You can walk off the street and try your luck depending on the time of day.

The squid was too salty, but all the rest were good.

Really great find 2 minutes from our hotel. Love the setting of the place, super friendly welcome and service. We were all so happy with our meals and the cheesecake was delish! Would go back again when in Dunedin.

Great food. The girl that served us was really attentive and helpful. Food was top class. Just perfect

We have been here twice now, both have been great experiences. The lady with short hair, I assume the manager is so nice, polite, and always makes sure everything is perfect without it feeling like you are being hassled. Great atmosphere. Always clean and tidy. Bathrooms are nice. Food has always been to a high standard as well. Very rich but lovely. Will definately be returning in the future

You can't go past this restaurant for spectacular food amd impeccable service!

Wonderful place. Had an excellent meal there. Best place in Dunedin.

Great menu not extensive ,something for everyone Delicious food ,well plated and reasonable portions Service friendly and efficient Alas no creme brulee ,my favorite but have it on 2 of our groups word seafood chowder excellent Lovely place for special dinner

Really friendly stuff, delicious food and good price, 100% recommended

We had a brilliant dinner at Gaslight. Fabulous service, amazing food and lovely vibe. We arrived on a busy long weekend with no reservation - they still managed to find us a table, make us feel welcome and serve our dinner in good time. Best restaurant in Dunedin!

Enjoyed a family dinner here with excellent service and tasty food. Interesting decor theme, central location with reasonable parking. We went in mid winter so some seasonal menu options would have been appreciated and it was a little cold . Overall a lovely evening.

Forgot to take a picture of this amazing lamb dish before I ate it whoops

Awesome place to be, great food, very friendly service.

Friendly staff but when asked about how our meals were. I said the pork was a little dry ( I'd only had about 3 mouthfuls) the reply was " oh no one has every complained about that before"... I felt rather taken aback as I was the person eating and at that point in my meal the pork was dry! If you don't want to hear the truth please don't ask!

One of our favourite restaurants we stumbled across accidentally. Great ambience, rustic and funky. Food consistently good with a varied menu. I had the Mediterranean salad entree, which could have been a main. My main was duck leg confit with roasted vegetables, David the pate, which was the best we've ever tasted, a, so delicate and beautifully presented. His main, chicken breast and a mushroom sauce Lovely wait staff. We will go back. Reasonable prices.

We went for a meal to the Gaslight for the first time on Sunday Night as a group of four. Luckily we booked as it got very busy. Service was awesome ( I am surprised the bad service reviews below), we couldn't fault it. There was only 2 bar and wait staff on, Patrick and 1 other. These guys were nearly running but never missed a beat, smiled all the way and were a great help with menu advise. Our meal was awesome, 2 of us had pasta, 1 steak frites and one Pork. And we had dessert. Two of our group live in Dunedin so have been before, we are from Chch and have not been to Gaslight before but we definitely will be back next time. Thanks to all it was a great meal. Tracey, Wayne. Brandon and Laura:):):)

Dined here this evening with a group of ten. Was hands down the most unpleasant experience I have ever had at a restaurant. On entry we were greeted by a waitress with a serious attitude problem. After being seated for two minutes and having not even opened our menu she wanted our orders. We told her we needed more time and she subsequently came back every two minutes even after we had ordered several platters for the table to share. After more terrible service including having plates thrown in front of us and being told to 'wait a minute' numerous times we were feeling fed up, yet still due to the company we were in were having a good time. It wasn't until we were told to keep it down in the outrageously loud restaurant and then told 'maybe' when ordering more off the menu that we were finally fed up enough to leave. Gaslight is hands down the worst restaurant I've ever stepped foot in and would recommend eating absolutely anywhere but here.

Good food, some rude staff, also removing comments on reviews a bit sus.

This is the most wonderful restaurant. We had the reception for my son's wedding at Gaslight and they catered for all our needs. The venue was delightful, and the staff warm and friendly. The food was exceptional and all dietary requirements creatively attended to. They couldn't have been more helpful. I highly recommend this restaurant and will certainly be going back there again. Thank you Gaslight!

Such great traditional food and super nice staff. So nice to find a nice decent place!

We dine here last night, it was fairly full, but that didn't matter one bit, the service was swift and staff were very helpful and attentive and had a good knowledge of the menu. The food came out swiftly and was piping hot and was delicious, some restaurant could learn a lot from this place about service and food! We will defiantly be back.

Fantastic service and amazing food! I went for my works do and they catered for myself who is pregnant and some other food requests. Highly recommend and looking forward to returning for another meal.

Really enjoyed the steak, tender and perfectly cooked. Great service staff were friendly and lovely atmosphere.

Every time i return the food is consistantly deliciously perfect. Loved the duck! Great welcoming atmosphere. Fabulous host! Wonderful range of non alchoholic drinks /cocktails and teas. Love dinning here!

Amazing atmosphere . Staff are very helpful & friendly. The food is superb. Definitely be back at big thumbs up.👍😀

Great atmosphere and decor and the food was of the highest quality. We spent three weeks motorcycling around the South Island and this was our culinary highlight.

Great food and atmosphere, good wine list and plenty of options
