The Fannie Bay Coolspot

Great location overlooking beach, great layout, and fit out. Despite being quite open, it had enough corners that it was not super noisy. Menu was extensive, good df and gluten-free options. Lunch was divine, chicken & avocado open grill with delicious salad & chips, yum.. i would return for that routinely! Sandwiches are good. Juice & smoothies were yummy, too. Service was friendly & fairly efficient. The only reason I gave it 4, not 5 stars, was that service could be improved. Table service would be an improvement. Also, when we went up to order, we were enquiring about menu items & she was not super helpful. The food was a bit slow coming out, but service was ok, it just seemed rushed (it was busy). Table water.. filling jugs yourself was a pain.. can they not be prefilled in a better container? This took ages, it was a very slow filter, gave up after halfway. Small matters, but resolved, could make it a 5/5 Overall, I enjoyed our lunch & would return.

Had lunch here yesterday, asked the server what gluten free options were available due to severe allergies being celiac, He dismissively said "Everything" and I asked if he could be more specific because there's definitely some items that wouldn't be gluten free. Eventually took the risk of getting a burger which was presented on what I can only assume was 2 slices of gluten free bread. Within one hour I started to feel unwell and I was very sick for the remainder of the day and through last night. It was definitely a reaction to having something that wasn't gluten free, be it through cross contamination or something else but very disappointed as it's cost me the best part of a day of my holiday's due to feeling unwell and not being able to stray too far from facilities.
