Great service . I needed gluten free food and needed to educate the waitress that the fries were not gluten free if they were cooked in a fryer with gluten. So.if you are gluten free/coeliacs don't get their frys. But the rest of the meal was tasty and brilliant

Sarah Bone

Loved the food. Great gluten free options. Recommend the calamari! The staff were great getting all the food out at the same time for 10 people. Highly recommend 👌

Bonnie Jackson

Beautiful food, but prices very high for a pub atmosphere that was super noisy and loud. Was good to see gluten-free and dairy free and vegan options listed. There may have been quieter tables further back, but we didn't ask.

Tracey Scherer

The best gluten free pizza in ages. The base was crispy and toppings delicious. Nice busy atmosphere and pleasant staff

Carol Sturm

I am so impressed with this place. The food is so delicious 😋 they put so much love into there food. I am coeliac and they were so accommodating.

Alisa Renz

Great gluten free dairy free Burger options!!

Andrew Roberts

Popular place and we were nearly put off by all the tables being reserved in advance. But fortunately we went in and it was great. They have a few vegan and gluten free options including a salad, cauliflower bites, a vegan lasagne, and fries plus others that could be made vegan/gf. Worth a visit but be aware the coffee is expensive at $9 for a large decaf flat white.

To be as absolutely fair as I can be let me add some context. 1) I am a tourist so I'm unaware with what the average pricing/quality is of restaurant food Service: 5/5 The wait staff were very friendly, accommodating and answered all our questions Drinks: 5/5 The cocktails were tasty, not too strong and had lovely flavours and presentation. They were $20NZ each. Atmosphere: 5/5 It's a cute spot, we ate indoors as it was a little cooler out however they also have a nice outdoor area. Good music, fresh aromas from the kitchen and good seating. Food: 2/5 I'm going to use Cook/Flavour/Plating/Size/Price as my rating scale here. 1- The cook of the food was perfect. There was nothing over/under done. The meat was tender and juicy, the veggies crisp and fresh. 2- The Plating was elegant and well done. The dishes were presented thoughtfully and had pops of color. 3- Price - So this is where I'm unfamiliar with what normal pricing is, however we paid around $120Nz for 2 people to have 2 drinks, a large platter and a snack each. We omitted having the short ribs as they were $75 and based on the portion size and flavours I'm glad we did. Prices seem steep for what you get but it could be normal. 4- Size - The dishes are small. They recommend 1 Large + snack or 3 Small per person and that's probably right however given the price that's a steep bill. We tried sharing 1 Large + 2 snacks between the both of us and left Hungry and kind of let down. 5- Flavour - As I'm finding with everything in Tauranga, it's bland. Even our potato chips from the grocery store were under seasoned. If you want crisp, natural veggies then you're fine but the only hint of any flavours or seasonings was salt and some chopped chillies. It's definitely not the robust and complex flavours you'd get from other Asian cuisine and while it boasts to be a fusion restaurant, it's an attempt at best. While flavour is entirely a personal preference, as there are raving reviews about this restaurant, myself personally found the cook and presentation of the food to be lovely but the flavours left me wanting. All in all I gave it a 3/5 as the drinks, service and atmosphere are great but the Price/Size/Flavour of the dishes felt lacking. * It is worth noting they have a lot of Gluten free options so if you're struggling to find somewhere to eat, I'd still recommend it as its by no means awful. It's a nice, slightly pricey, average restaurant experience*

Great place for a quick bite to eat or full feed. Very clean and waiters are very pleasant and curious. This time just went for a lge bowl of chips and wine as we know this place caters for persons with Coeliac.

Kylie Henderson

Consistently fabulous coffee made by Jazz and beautiful gluten-free slices and meals

Andrew Roberts

Excellent food and service. It's expensive but the views and the food make it worthwhile to try. They don't have a separate vegan and gluten free dish but they were happy to get the chef to create something and they didn't disappoint. It really was a fantastic meal.

Murray Shadbolt

A busy school holiday night but we were happy to take a high table in the bar area. Staff were friendly and kept checking we were okay. Handled our gluten free request well. Food was (mostly) good quality and well prepared, drinks were nice and desserts were tasty. A pleasant night out.

Daphne Keller

One of the few restaurants in area that's right on the water 💧 sit outside or in during summer and quite a few tables with views. Situated at the Tauranga Bridge Marina, the views are the boats, the harbour and Sulphur point container wharf, so busy busy. We've dined here a number of times at different times of day and night and the service has always been excellent. Tapas menu as well as mains and desserts. Brunch menu as well. A good selection of gluten free dishes from all menus. Today, we shared a tapa beetroot with smoked duck and citrus infused feta. 10/10. Then the crunchy pork belly, peach, yummy sauce with vegetables. Brett had salmon on lemon infused risotto. Both beautifully cooked. Dessert menu looked delicious but we couldn't do it justice. We will be back 🍾

I thought that this place was excellent 😊 The pools are just private enough (could be more private) nestled in amongst the trees so beautiful. I found the stuff to be friendly and helpful we hadn’t booked but we’re able to get in quickly anyway. The burgers we had were delicious and they had gluten free options 😊

Brier Morris

The food was really good, I was very excited to have my gluten free needs met but I was very disappointed to be charged $4.90 extra on top of $21.00 for one slice of bread. Especially when the prices where already high enough to cover my single slice of gluten free bread and more

Greg Brown

Really nice food. A couple more healthier options on the menu would be great but there's plenty there you can ask to be gluten free, so that helps go towards a healthier meal.

Jose Sanz

Great pub, really friendly staff and awesome trivia on Tuesday night! Limited gluten free options but at least they understood the difference between that and celiac!

Deborah Mitchell

Sadly thus place let me down, on the menu it says several items are Gluten Free, I'm Coeliac so need this to be true sadly it isn't, when I went to order they told me everything is cooked in the same oil etc, I was extremely angry, IF IT'S NOT GLUTEN FREE DON'T ADVERTISE IT AS SO ! Only call it GF when it actually is !!!! Learn about this please !!!

Karen Read

Great buffet great service all round, excellent different dishes gluten free 5 stars tonight

Michal Hlavac

I visited this place more times and I always get an amazing service. You can park close to this place on freedom parking. If your car is selfcontained you don't need to drive home. :) The nice staff can help you if you don't know which beer do you like and simply just taste it. All meal what I ordered was great. I love the garlic bread. Unfortunately I'm not anymore in Te Puke but if this place is open I likely recommend it. Just go there and grab your beer. You can order as well gluten free dishes and cider in bottle, however I prefer the cider on tap. ;)

Andrew Roberts

My new favourite place in the Mount. It has a rustic decor and atmosphere. They have quite a few vegan and gluten free options including a huge burger and fries. We had live Jazz music on a Sunday evening. Couldn't have been better. Highly recommended.

Oberzocker 511

Ended up there Saturday night after a roady from Auckland for a short trip away. Great bar for a good priced meal, combined with good Live music and friendly staff. The Gluten-free options are good aswell and they have an great selection of everything really, Gin, wine, beer and other spirits. Worth giving them a go. Great value for money. Cheers from the guy in the swimshorts and Jandals 🙌 Really enjoyed my stay that night.

Maggie Thompson

A fantastic family owned brewery, their ciders are delicious. Also pizza's are scrumptious including their gluten free bases which I have. Visited today 2nd time there for lunch, lovely people highly recommend!
