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

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.

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.

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.

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 🍾

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

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!

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.
