We love the look of the new location! There are lots of gluten free options on the menu. However, my ramen was far too salty and I wasn’t able to finish it because of that. The rice in the rice bowl was cold. The server was very nice but service was slow. We did enjoy the bao bun and the calamari. We’ll be back to give studio east another chance!
Asked if they had any gluten free items and they provided me with a separate menu of just gluten free items. I got fish cakes. I believe they also had a gluten free seafood chowder. Staff was nice. Outside patio is pretty small so we had to sit inside.

I had been to Side Hustle before twice and had such a lovely experience.
So I’m not thrilled to write this. But feel the need to share as I am concerned about what happened to me.
I popped into eat some lunch during burger week, and they only had a burger week menu. Really nothing else on it. Which as a small place I guess is expected.
I was about to head out, and the server recommended the Thai chilli chicken, and I said I can’t eat really spicy food. I then asked if the gluten free Thai chilli chicken could be made less spicy as it was the ONLY thing on the menu that wasn’t beef, or tofu that could be made gluten free.
The server said yes - the kitchen could not add the spicy chili jam to the burger. And I was like great I’ll have that.
The burger came out, everything looked good.
3 bites in and I can barely breathe.
They included the spicy chili jam, and as someone who can’t do super spicy items I nearly choked in the restaurant. It was quite embarrassing actually, I was coughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face. Made worse by how echoey the bar is itself.
The server finally came by after I was coughing for several minutes and I told him there is spicy chili jam on this. He says he will get them to remake it.
I had gotten nauseous from coughing so hard I don’t even want to eat more of the food that isn’t spicy (aka the fries I paid extra for)… So I just say no, thanks. You can take it. I had only eaten a handful of fries and a couple bites of the burger.
It was pretty bad, I was pretty embarrassed.
And I wasn’t even finished my cider before the bill was handed to me.
They charged me for 50% of the meal, burger and fries even though I didn’t eat most of it.
I likely should have said something to the server however I was already embarrassed from coughing so loudly.
I likely will take a second thought before heading back as everything is expensive now, and I’d like to eat what I pay for.

Oh my. Such a wonderful experience. I despise being gluten-free and find it embarrassing to have to ask for options. Cassandra was so accommodating, and in short order, the manager was at the table, explaining things to me.
The result was fantastic food. It was our wedding anniversary as well as my husband's birthday. So happy we chose to celebrate there. Thank you so very much. All of you. Oh, and the jalapeño margaritas? An absolute must have!!
An exceptional dining experience. Very impressed with how serious food allergies are treated. Our server, who was excellent, guaranteed no crosscontamination of gluten and the manager Yamac, who was particularly personable, attentive and pleasant,
discussed the method of food preparation, ingredient substitution prior to the meal being made and checked in afterwards to confirm everything was satisfactory.
My partner and I enjoyed every bite of our meals. I had the Chipotle Mango Chicken, my partner had the Grilled Chicken Zen Bowl. Photo of the Chipotle Mango Chicken enclosed. The cheesecake was the best that we ever had. The service was excellent. Hats off and thanks to Moxie's a restaurant doing it right. We will be back.
What a sweet little place! Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and yummy food!
Bonus of being family friendly and having lots of gluten free options. Very pleased we found this spot.
Amazing food, Becka went out of her way to make it a wonderful experience especially for our daughter with Celiac. She's the best server we've had in many years. Definitely a go to spot!
As a celiac I have to be very careful eating out. From the hostess to the waitress everyone made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. I had the Mushroom truffle burger. It was delicious! Alexa was an outstanding waitress! Thank you so much!
Well must say first time there with my girlfriend the waitress was just great looked after us made sure everything was as we ordered drinks food etc Im gluten-free and its one of the best pizzas ive had i took extra sauce and its very good sauce.
We both loved it.
I love this place. I have celiacs disease and have never had an issue eating there. They always add an extra little treat and they're always very friendly! Nothing bad to say, such a great meal for the price!
Waiting staff were exceptional.
Attentive without being pushy, returned to the table at appropriate times all round excellent.
My wife is gluten intolerant and they have a great selection of suitable options.
I went to this restaurant for a Deaf event. One of the servers new sign language and was able to serve the deaf people adequately and charismatically. As a gluten-free person, I had a delicious haddock taco and didn't feel the gluten-free options were any less delicious than the regular options! Prices are high, but fair for the overall experience. Will definitely be returning.
Great pizza, including an awesome gluten free crust that’s available. Fresh ingredients, custom options for the pizza and lots of other fare to choose from as well. Staff are simply awesome - friendly, helpful. Love having this restaurant in the neighbourhood.
My fiance and I often frequent this place since it's so close to home. We try to go early in the evening to avoid the crowds, since it can, and it will, get very loud in there. And, they close pretty early, considering they're a pub. I appreciate that there's gluten free options, and I've never had an issue with it actually being GF. But the food can be hit or miss. Occasionally, the burgers will be burnt, other times, they'll be perfect. Sometimes the Spinach dip is soupy, other times, it's heavenly. The fish can be great, other times, it's cold. But the staff are always great to us, and we've never had an issue with our service. I thoroughly enjoy the cocktails (the peachy tea is my favourite!) and my fiance sometimes enjoys his beer - once again, hit or miss.
The interior is beautiful, romantic enough, cozy, but the light is too dim for me (but this is my subjective opinion).
Location - the restaurant is located in the down town, i.e. in the city center, which, unfortunately, means the absence of its own parking lot and you have to look for it, and it is paid even on weekends.
Food - not very many, in fact, menu items if we are talking about the main dishes. There are few gluten-free dishes, which, for example, was a problem for us. We had to order soup and salad because we have restrictions on the types of meat we can eat and therefore, actually, vegetarian soup is all we could order. It was delicious, I have no complaints, but it's still a pity that there is such a limited selection of gluten-free meat dishes.
We ordered tea and I liked that the tea cup was warm (despite the fact that it was empty), and the tea was served separately in a teapot).
Service - everything here was top notch, the girl who served us was as attentive as possible, she knew the menu and the composition of the dishes well, she could tell us what dishes we could order, taking into account the restrictions we had.
But still, I deducted one star. I was out of paper towels. As always, in the restaurant there is a cloth napkin in which the cutlery is wrapped and which we put on our laps when we eat, but I cannot wipe my lips, for example, with that napkin, for this I need paper ones, but they were not on the table and no one offered . This is my humble opinion, it was uncomfortable for me. Well, the shortcomings of the menu that I wrote about above also played a role in the evaluation.
And in general, I can recommend this place, we liked it.
Folks are over excited about beer batter, but letting that go, get the gluten free version fish and chips! Also nachos were nice, and the salmon platter came with well made soda bread. Nice crust
Solid pour of Guinness, what more can I ask for!

On vaycay from Vancouver B.C. doing the walk about at Pier21 and stopped into The BG.
Beautiful location, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Huge beverage menu!!
As celiac, it's challenging to find some safe eats away from home. I ordered the gf option Lobster Roll & fries and oh my lord.... fantastic 😋
Thanks for being aware of dietary restrictions for some 🥳
If I'm ever back out this way, will definitely come back.
Nestled at the Halifax waterfront amongst historical buildings, the A Mano is a beautiful Italian restaurant that serves traditional fares with great pairings of wines and the usual beers.
Service is smooth overall, but we did have a small issue with a gluten-free order, which needed to be rectified.
We were a group of 8 and a wide selection of food was ordered.
The Schiacciata, Sgabello, Calamari Fritti were good and perfect for a chilly evening. As the main course, Quattro Carni, fresh Halibut with Shrimps, Lasagna, Lamb Shank, Seafood Stew and the Linguini were good. We were too full and ordered the share Torta Per Due cheesecake and were not disappointed .
Overall, good restaurant and great vibes for a chilled dinner next to the water.
My husband and I are on holiday here in NS. I am gluten-free and he is not. It's tough to find tasty food for both of us, that's safe for me to eat. Union Street had both! Great experience, friendly people and would definitely recommend it!
This Boston pizza did not disappoint, as a new celiac they ensured I would be able to eat at their location without worry. The food was good! Service was great we had both the manager and a server who were both wonderful! The atmosphere was like any other sports bar, very nice, not loud and friendly!
Always welcoming and a great experience. Very accommodating to gluten allergies. Several gluten free options. Asked if something specific had gluten and they found out and let us know.
I placed a catering order for my office. The food was very good, no issues there. I ordered and PAID for gluten free pita which I did not receive. When I brought this to the attention of the restaurant I was told we will make sure you get it next time. Sadly this is not something that my office does often so next would likely not be until next year. I was very disappointed with this response. Honestly I likely would not have left this review but the restaurant asked for a review so Im going to be honest and say that I was not overly happy with this order.

Have wanted to try this place out forever after hearing about them having Gluten Free options. So glad we did today! Tandoori chicken fries were delicious and the Kashmiri apple fries should be illegal. The flavour and texture are crave worthy. So so good! Can’t wait to come back. Make sure you go check it out!!

I came here with a group for lunch on the patio. The service was very friendly and helpful. The menu specified which options were vegan and gluten free. Some menu options were both.
Caryn was phenomenal. She knew exactly what options were gluten free and was aware of cross contamination (she is every celiac customers dream!!). The food was great as always and super kid friendly. Thank you!
The Bedford Mall Kenny’s is the ONLY pizza place with gluten free options I feel safe ordering from! The level of knowledge and care the staff have in regards to mitigating cross contamination is truly one of a kind in Halifax. Service is always prompt and friendly, and I’ve only had positive experiences both in restaurant and delivery (they also deliver to all of HRM despite being in Bedford). Not to mention, the pizza crust is absolutely delicious, with a perfect texture that rivals its gluten counterpart. Highly recommend Kenny’s Bedford for anyone gluten free!
Food is always good. I am gluten free and their cauliflower crust is to die for. I normally sit at the bar and seven is so sweet and accommodating l. If you’re planning on coming in definitely ask for seven she is amazing!!
I really liked the staff were attentive and quick service was provided. Had great meal loved the ramen and sweet edamame beans. They have limited menu but still have gluten free options. Although I find it's bit pricy, I would still visit again.
Best steakhouse in Halifax, number 1 with a bullet.
I got the Cigar Tenderloin and the other half had a Coffee Aged Strip, served with a glorious red wine jus both of these steaks absolutely slapped, sides were delicious and plentiful, would order the Mushrooms again but probably skip the mash and sprouts next time in favor of something else.
They had a dessert menu but we didn't have it in us, next time!
The service was top notch and my dietary needs (Celiac) were taken seriously without making a fuss.
I cant wait to come back, I must have an anniversary or something coming up and if not I'll have to invent one.
Just went to Naan n Curry with my girlfriend. The food was tasty, the Naan portions were generous and overall it was a good deal for our money.
More importantly, we've had challenges finding good food in HRM because of her dairy allergy. The menu at Naan N curry specifically mentions if the option is gluten free, vegan or dairy free.
Very happy with our experience and will be back
Love that they have a dedicated fryer so I can have gluten free options.
Great service and style
No complaints at all. Repeat customer and I'll bring friends
Celiac friendly
