Sensational pizza (gluten free to accommodate m’lady) with delicious ingredients. Service was so friendly and accommodating. And how can you beat corkage free booze from the wine shop next door. Thanks for great experience Hamish and Alex.
We had a really nice meal here .
The brisket was really good and was also gluten free. So that was good .The service was good and the decor in the room was very good too .A good selection of music was playing when we were there .It looks like they have live music there too .Well worth a look .
I had one of the vegan / gluten free options for lunch and took out one of the ingredients that I'm intolerant too. It was really delicious. My friends enjoyed their food and smoothies too.
Absolutely loved our dinner at the Avalon, the food was divine, the lamb my mother in law and I had was so tender and my father in law loved his salmon and my husband the chicken. Service was also great, they looked after us very well, making sure my GF food was coeliac safe. My in-laws loved the quirkiness of the decor and it was very warm and cosy. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening thank you.
We had lunch here and it was absolutely delicious. Interesting and unique food. Delicious gluten free bread which is always hard to find. Lovely, warm and friendly wait staff. A fabulous restaurant experience that I would highly recommend.
Edit: I went here a second time and food once again was delicious. However after paying leaving a good tip and then leaving. I was chased down the street by a waiter telling me my card has declined. It hadn't declined and I had to show them this in my net banking. I was told if there were any issues they would call me 'back. No issues of course because my card didn't decline. A call to apologise would have been good.
Great spot for a cosy coffee and food on a cool morning. Friendly staff, great selection of gluten free treats (handmade locally). Great ham and cheese croissant with the best local ham. Highly recommend
What a treat this has been! If you’re a coeliac like me, you cannot go wrong with this lovely restaurant. The setting of an old church converted into a restaurant is unique and the food was absolutely divine. I ordered the shredded Osso Buco with GF option and the Parmesan & herb gluten free bread! Washed the food down with a lovely Davo Spritz.
We had a lovely family dinner!
My recent visit to Pins on Lurline left me with mixed feelings, primarily due to a frustrating dining experience. We had chosen this restaurant to host a special meal for a visiting family friend from the UK over the long weekend. While the manager's willingness to accommodate us at the last minute was appreciated, the actual service we encountered was far from satisfactory.
We opted for the 6-course meal and one with a wine pairing, expecting a delightful culinary experience. Unfortunately, the experience quickly soured due to multiple service mishaps. When placing our order, I emphasized my dietary restriction: no red meat, but chicken, pork, and fish were acceptable. Despite this, our first hiccup occurred when the waitress brought two beef cheek dishes to the table, inquiring about gluten-free preferences. Once again, I reiterated my dietary requirement and preference for non-vegetarian options. Nevertheless, the next course arrived as a pumpkin risotto, completely disregarding my request.
As the courses progressed, the errors continued. When everyone received the lamb dish, I was served a chickpea-based alternative, despite once more explaining my dietary restrictions. The waitress's response was far from accommodating, stating that I would have to wait for the fish option if I did not want the chickpea dish. At this point, I just wanted to enjoy a meal without further complications, so I reluctantly accepted the dish that had been incorrectly presented.
Our dissatisfaction extended to the wine pairing service. Throughout the evening, our wine glasses were consistently refilled, even before the corresponding food had been served. It wasn't until we reminded the waitress that we were still awaiting our main course that the wine service slowed down.
To add to the chaos, during dessert, another waitress approached our table, inquiring about the wine pairing as if we hadn't already been receiving it. This mix-up only served to highlight the lack of communication and organization among the staff.
Perhaps the most glaring oversight was the neglect of our basic needs. For the entire 2.5-hour duration of our meal, no one bothered to refill our water glasses, leaving us parched and frustrated.
We had hoped for a special meal with our visiting friend but left feeling let down by the restaurant's service quality.
Popped in after a morning and afternoon trekking in the blue mountains. Delicious food and caters to both vegan and gluten free. My partner is celiac and the kitchen were brilliant and reassuring. Would definitely recommend ☺️
Food and service was lovely...
just need more Gluten Free and Dairy Free options.
The only downside really was the accoustics..especially wen full of people talking, deafening!
They need some "soft furnishings" on floor and walls..and ceiling? Was headache material... and impossible to have conversation. A pity.
Hope they can address that.. then it will be a "good go to" cafe. Especially for us locals🙏🤞
