My boyfriend is celiac and we have heard many great things about this place being gluten friendly so we gave it a try. Our server was kind of rude, like she never smiled and looked like something was annoying her and that she didn’t want to be there (it was a busy Friday night which is understandable, but still, I felt a little uncomfortable with her). My boyfriend got a GF pizza and I got a regular one. They tasted really good and mine was so big that I brought the other half home with me (the GF pizza is significantly smaller than the regular one FYI, we were hoping that it would be at least around the same size as a regular one considering how they present themselves as GF. Not a huge problem but it still seems unfair). The next morning, my boyfriend was feeling symptoms as if he had gluten. He had definitely ordered the GF crust, so we are thinking it is maybe the pizza sauce or the meat contains gluten. Perhaps it is a misunderstanding on our part as he didn’t specify to the server that he is celiac, but you would think that if something is made GF, all the ingredients would be GF. Anyways we won’t be going back there which is a shame because there are lots of GF options on the menu that you can’t really find anywhere else around.

Fun atmosphere. Live music. Recommend making reservations because it fills up fast. Our waitress was helpful with questions about gluten free items. I had a delicious beef stew and my husband had a very tasty seafood stew. Great place for a satisfying and filling meal!

The food was okay, but not great. I had the gluten-free pizza, and unfortunately, the crust was disappointing—I’ve had better at Domino’s. My boyfriend ordered the chicken, which was dry and lacked flavor, and the rice tasted undercooked and slightly hard. My friend had the mushroom pasta, which she said needed more flavor, though she did enjoy it overall. The biggest letdown, however, was the wait time—it felt like almost an hour before our food arrived. On the bright side, our waiter was wonderful—super friendly and welcoming, which helped make up for some of the negatives. Overall, it was an average experience, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

Shellfish Allergy not accommodated! I've been dining at the Farmhouse Cafe for at least a decade. Over time the restaurant has gotten busier and less customer focused. This week our family went for the Fish Special on Good Friday. I have a shellfish allergy. The restaurant would not pan-fry or bake my fish since with one shellfish item on their menu, they would not use the oil for my haddock. 3% of the population suffers from shellfish allergy, and no accommodation was possible. I am very disappointed but at least those requiring gluten free foods can be accommodated in the "gluten-free" oil vat.

Really enjoyed this place! Pizza was really good, both regular and gluten free. Big seating footprint means that it is just as good for date night as for family eat out. Ryan, our server, and great, and he was right that the peanut butter chocolate cheesecake is the best GF dessert in NOTL! We will be back.

This restaurant and their staff went above and beyond to accommodate me. We went here for a bachelorette party dinner. I have a whole host of dietary restrictions (no soy, gluten or dairy) and I was expecting to have to bring my own food/ eat before. I emailed a week before we went and just asked if there was anything possibly that I could eat. They sat down with their chef and responded right away with a ton of options! I didn’t even have to ask about dietary restrictions when we got to the restaurant, the server Sarah already knew. The food was delicious and thank you to all the staff there for being so wonderful.

Went here for a girls night out and sat at the Chef’s area where you are able to sit and watch the chefs cook. The chef was an absolute rockstar, talk about lady boss! Our cocktails were delicious- order the margarita!! Gluten free pizza looked so good I had to have them double check it was gluten free! Crust was amazing, dough was delicious, just wish the pizza itself had more flavour to it. Desserts also stellar: panna cotta was refreshing and tangy, and my mum said the tiramisu was one of the best she’s had.

Came at lunchtime during the week. Staff was knowledgeable, skilled and friendly. Gluten free bread toasted with a dedicated toaster was an unexpected treat with sunnyside up eggs. Mediterranean bowl was fresh, tasty and beautiful! The 1/4 sliced Dill pickles are exceptional. Great experience, highly recommended!

Gluten free options are great. Chef walked the tables making sure all is well. I got lazy and ordered butter chicken and was impressed with how much it wasn’t the creamy sweet cliché butter chicken you get every where else. They were also very attentive to our 4-year old birthday girl!

Excellent food and service. Satisfied vegan and gluten free requests. A new go to restaurant with authentic Italian food. Portions were just right, maybe a little on the bigger side, definitely quality ingredients and care taken in preparation to match the price.

My experience here was a while ago but wasn't too bad. I ordered the vegetable panini, but I needed to make a change to remove an ingredient (cheese) and get gluten free bread due to food intolerances at the time, which have gotten better since. I was told that they couldn't do that because multiple foods were premade. I understood, but isn't the point of a restaurant to have 'fresh' food? They ended up creating a fresh panini, which I was greatful for due to the limited amount of vegetarian options. Yes, I could have chosen one of the other vegetarian options, except I couldn't because almost all (if not all) of the options had tomatoes, which give me a violent reaction if I eat them. That being said, the vegetarian options they had without tomatoes that day was limited to the panini or a 1 trio of dips. The rest of the vegetarian options all had tomatoes: feta bruschetta (tomatoes), salads (all with tomatoes), flatbread (tomatoes), penne tomato (tomatoes). Keep in mind the options as I was told were pre-prepared, so how could I alter them to be without tomatoes? The panini was also pretty small for the cost. The small salad it came with had a raspberry (all natural) dressing. That dressing had almost a neon pink colour and was so sweet, that it tasted artificial. The people I was with had fish and chips. Again, smallish portions. I was told the fried fish in beer batter was pretty good. That being said, we all had the same impression, that the food was bland, especially the fries. The portions combined with the blandness of the food didn't make the cost feel worth it, as it is pricier. The bathroom designs were awful, the rest of the interior was pretty interesting. The customer service was pretty good.
