    After moving overseas I haven’t been to Garfish for some years. It was great to go back and find it was as fantastic as I remembered. They always deliver - delicious food, excellent service and a buzzy atmosphere. One of my favourite places.

    What a great all round experience! The food was delicious and I have no doubt the care or the incredible waiter contributed to how amazing it tasted. Food highlights were prawns, kingfish sashimi, curry, snapper pie - honestly every plate was exceptional. Will be back.

    First glass of wine was half size to second glass? Food was amazing first timers and will be back
    Garfish Crows NestResponded on 20 January 2025
    Thank you for your feedback, and we're so glad you enjoyed the food! Apologies for any confusion with the wine — we typically serve our premium wines by the glass in a larger glass to enhance the experience. It’s possible that for your second pour, we ran out of the larger glassware and used a smaller one, but the pour itself should have been the same at 150ml. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will make sure to double-check our glassware for consistency moving forward. We hope to welcome you back soon!
