Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Emerald

Second time at Gilson and it didn’t disappoint. Food was excellent and service great. Great value for money.

We enjoyed the service today. Wait staff were very friendly. The main course food took a long time to come as it was busy. It would be good to put some noise absorbing materials as the restaurant with its hard surfaces was very loud. The people were great, food nice wine nice and the view outstanding.

Raw tuna in crispy wonton is an outstanding dish - great combination of quality fresh ingredients, flavour & texture. And the fish curry (barramundi?) was again, the result of skilled perfection. The food is exactly WHY we are happy to pay for food, the way it is supposed to be cooked - by people who know what they are doing! Thankyou.

I asked if they would do a veg. Lasagne and I got a message telling me as of tonight they would be serving one and boy was it worth the wait. The food was delicious and the virgin pina colada was lovely. We will be returning very soon.

Had dinner here on a Tuesday night. Food exceeded my expectations and overall a really nice spot for a drink/meal, particularly when the weather is nice and you are able to sit at a table outside. Recommend
