The Gidley restaurant in Sydney, New South Wales

This recently came into my inbox from Giga alerts. Not sure if the ambiance of the place exactly matches my impression of all the Gidleys I have met and corresponded with over the years, so where did they get the name from, I wonder?
I'd love to hear from any Gidleys who go there, mention their surname and note the reaction. It's a bit far for me to go!

This shortened extract is taken from the Broadsheet.

A new basement bar is landing on King Street in the CBD, with a Norfolk Island-inspired look, rib eye three ways and stiff cocktails.The Gidley will be a classic American-style steakhouse that mixes New York opulence with Australian cheek. It’s the latest offering from hospitality group Liquid and Larder. Group directors Warren Burns and James Bradey were inspired by trips they’ve taken to the US over the years, but they aren’t trying to fully replicate the American experience.
“It’s about being transported somewhere else and enjoying the company. That’s what The Gidley is all about – you walk down the stairs, get lost in the corridors, sit down with a Negroni in hand and have a chat with your friends.”

The Gidley will open in the basement of 161 King Street, Sydney in mid to late November.

I wish it every success.
