As a celiac, this is the place to eat!

Went for dinner and it was excellent! The scallop risotto was the special that evening and it was delicious. Also had the jerk chicken risotto and cheesecake for dessert. Our group was also very happy about all of the gluten free options on the menu.

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.

As a gluten-intolerant person this is my favorite place to order pizza!! They are serious about food allergies and I can trust them not to make me sick! Also the pizza is AMAZING!!! I can’t even tell it’s gluten free!! 10/10 the best pizza in HRM! And they have gluten free garlic fingers 😍

Food is always so good and fresh. Servers are also very nice and the kitchen could accommodate some dishes for a celiac friend.

First time checking this place out. It's not an easy place to find, but as soon as we opened the door, the look of the place was unique. Bar stools overlooked the main level lobby. The ascent to the restaurant itself was interesting. We did find the layout of the restaurant was not quite what we expected, but we stayed. A bit disappointed that there were no gluten friendly options for beer but settled for cider. The selection of burgers was very impressive. The food was excellent but best of all was our server; her name is Cat. She was friendly and attentive, knew the bar and menu offerings very well, and seemed happy to be there. It's always nice to be waited on someone who loves her job and that appears to be Cat!

I recently visited this sushi spot and was so impressed! Not only did they offer a wide variety of gluten-free options, but I was also thrilled to discover they have oshi sushi on the menu! It's not something you see often, so it was a real treat. The quality of the fish was fresh, and the flavors were on point. The staff was also incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in guiding me through their gluten-free options. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great sushi experience, especially if you have dietary restrictions!

100% worth a try for some elevated pub fare and flavourful food! This was suggested by a friend from Alberta and we were pleased with the experience. There was a feature menu with some enticing items (including the Reuben) and the regular menu had a good amount of choices including some gluten-free options. I chose to have the blackened haddock (GF) and the sauce tasted homemade and a refreshing change from the usual haddock preparations you find in Halifax. The Reuben was loaded with all the good stuff and fries were the right amount of crisp without tasting dry. They offer a 1/2 and 1/2 salad and fries combo for most of the handhelds and burgers which is such a lovely touch and not something you see enough these days. Caesar salad has a nice zing to it and also tasted freshly prepared. If we come back we will certainly try more items! They carried the local Coldstream seltzers as well for a very fair price. Dartmouth location is away from the busy scene and gives you that nice view of the water.
