Very good food and atmosphere, a bit overpriced but also a great location. Had quite a few vegetarian options, as well as gluten free buns and pizza bases - the gluten free pizza I had was decent quality.

Very tasty food and lots of gluten free options. Portions are not the largest, certainly not the cheapest, but worth the money. Service was very nice. Restaurant is unfriendly. The smoked BBQ burgers are particularly recommended. Fries too weak for my taste and not crispy enough, but they are only side dishes, so it's better to order one more main course.

Excellent French food in a great location opposite the Cathedral. Very good gluten-free menu. Service is friendly and helpful, but there can be a wait for orders to be taken at times. Depending on where you're sitting, the restaurant can get noisy.

I have been to this restaurant a couple of times with friends, it has always been a lovely experience. The staff are attentive and were understanding of allergies. At busy times I would recommend getting a reservation, but it is not always necessary. As a coeliac, they were able to provide great knowledge of coeliac disease and there was a large range of gluten free options. I had pancakes and have had one of the breakfast, both are very good and I would recommend to coeliacs! My friends, who are not coeliacs, have always enjoyed their food, and the atmosphere of the restaurant in general is lovely, and the prices are good.

This is by far my favourite restaurant, being a coeliac is difficult when it comes to finding a decent place to eat, this place here just absolutely lives up to all expectations, the gluten free menu is perfect and has a large range of different meals, I've been multiple times and tried a few different things off the menu but my favourite is the GF Hot honey fried chicken burger 🍯🍗 🍔 The Halloumi fries are also a must! 😍 The staff here are incredible and the service couldn't be any better, the food service is quick and the staff always make sure everything is perfect with your meal and are happy to help if not! The only reason I marked it down by 1 star on Atmosphere is because I feel like it should be a whole lot busier for such a great restaurant 🤩 Places like this deserve our custom. Also in the females toilet I noticed a trolley for everybody's access with all different types of sanitary products and lady bits and bobs which I think is very thoughtful😊 Not a lot of places have the same little touches as Brightside! Will always recommend this place 👌🏼

I'm a big fan of Turtle Bay because there are lots of gluten free options for food (as long as you check on the website, they aren't listed as gluten free on the physical menu) and the staff are always super friendly. Plus delicious two for one cocktails, always a pleasant experience. Have been here a few times and it definitely won't be my last.

A sticky start as my daughter who was organising the event (my other daughters Wedding pre celebrations) called when the diet had changed for one of the guests and told a baby couldnt to attend aswell even though she had booked for an "additional" high chair. Told that 48hrs needed to be given for gluten free diet and that a 5th person (a baby)!! should be reserved so we wouldnt be able to attend. She decided to tell them we wouldnt bring the baby to keep the spot. However on the day a lovely reception and the staff were wonderful Even though the baby didnt attend although table was laid up for 5! Lovely waitress x Lovely memories were made especially for my 5 year old grandaughter x Worth the service charge just issues before attendance as lady was rude on the phone
