What people say, in short

Gimlet is among the most-named places whenever Melbourne diners are asked for fine dining, and most commenters recommend it. Three diners praise the food, two of them also the service, and one singles out the T-bone while two mention the late-night cheeseburger. Four commenters suggest it for dates or a partner night out. One advises booking ahead. It does divide opinion: two diners call it overhyped or overrated and find the food underwhelming, though some still like the drinks or atmosphere, and one had a poor visit with a burger served cold inside.
