Ioesco

I was at Ioesco last night, I am gluten free and ordered a gluten free pasta dish. The gluten free pasta they used was a penne. The sauce was lovely and as I was eating the dish, I came across some linguini pasta and some spaghetti pasta. As they only have a penne as the gluten free option I knew I had been given pasta containing gluten. When I asked about this the waitress spoke to the chef who admitted that because he was close to closing he had taken a short cut used the same basket and water to cook my gluten free pasta in. I am now suffering the consequences. This chef purposely has put made me ill, because it was 7.30pm, the restaurant was not busy and he wanted to go home, because the chef cut corners I will now be sick for a few days. Then to add insult to injury when we received the bill there was. $5 charge for the gluten free pasta. Nowhere on the menu did it mention an extra charge for gluten free pasta. A whole box of gluten free pasta is only $4.50 from the supermarket.

Our dining experience at this restaurant was 5 star plus . The very knowledgeable, friendly staff catered expertly to my strict gluten free diet . The menu is varied our party of four chose the scallops, fig salad entree and mains, lamb shoulder , veal and pasta ! All served with style, elegance , precision timing and were delicious! The drinks menu paired well with the meal. We will certainly be returning to this hidden gem located at Sanctuary Cove .
