Southside Bistro

This place has been on my list for quite some time and I was excited to finally give it a try while in the area! Especially because of the many gluten free brunch options they offer. I was craving an acai bowl that day, so I ordered a bowl, and it sounded delicious with coconut panna cotta and dried mango as a topping. The staff behind the counter laughed at my order when the waitress read it out to him which was a bit odd ☹️ The waitress was very kind however. The waitress brought the acai bowl out, and it was delicious. The granola was the highlight, it was gluten free but tasted so good and fresh. The panna cotta was a unique addition, but I didn’t feel it added much to the bowl. It was very filling and tasty overall, and I enjoyed it. Will come back to try out some other dishes here again.

Breakfast - the worst breakfast experience. I ordered Bacon and eggs (your way) with Sourdough.. Firstly we waited over 45 mins for our order. It wasn't busy. Three place was half empty. Secondly we were told they didn't have mango in stock to make a mango smoothie. I then opted for juice that had apples but was told to select something else again because they didnt have apples in stock. Thirdly we asked for Gluten free bread. They brought plain bread, not even the sourdough that's on the menu. We asked for GF bread which never arrived. Food was getting cold while waiting for bread..How slack! Eggs and bacon it was. Fourthly the presentation of the food was poor. Sixth - a side of smashed avo. The serving was a disgrace. It wasn't even worth half an avo. It was a teaspoon serving. Seventh- the side of Mushroom was fried with onion. It's was burnt. 30 mins later the taste of burnt onion and mushrooms linger on in the back of my tongue . Eighth - the bacon was fried in the same pan as the burnt mushrooms. The bacon didn't even taste like bacon. It tasted like burnt mushrooms and onion. Ninth- the Hollandaise sauce was sour. We are never eating there again. Definitely not worth the $50 plus I paid. The problem with places like that is the owners pay for cheap labour and get immature people to work there these the results.

Incredible,fast and friendly service. Beautiful environment, and plenty of gluten free and allergen friendly options. Could not be happier!
