Wonderful flavours on the pizzas - clearly they use high-quality ingredients. They do a very tasty gluten-free pizza base. The service was friendly; the staff knowledgeable and informative. We really enjoyed our night.

What a hidden gem this mall is. Luckily we stumbled across Simply Foods, as we were peckish. I had the vegetable croquet and spinach/ricotta ball and could not fault it. My mouth was singing! Sorry there was not much food left for the photos as it was too tasty. So many choices, gluten free sugar free, vegan...all in all Simply Foods is Simply Delicious!! One star lacking for no smile with the service.

First of all the aircon wasn’t even a thing. Secondly, the fans were all locked one way and when you ask to have them rotate the other customers give you a dirty look. The supposed chilli mud crab was actually sand crab and the prawns tasted like they were frozen for a year no flavour mega watery. The tables are all cramped that together you don’t even have room to get up and move which made the place even more of a sweat box. Then they had everyone lining up in a line for a buffet which made getting food 10x longer then needed… like just get a plate get what you want real quick and sit back down. hahaha if I want to wait 15 minutes for my food I’ll go to a proper restaurant. If you are a coeliac or gluten intolerance EVERYTHING was contaminated! Do not risk it. Positives… the staff was really onto everything aka clearing our tables of plates wiping them down etc getting beverages.also, no parking.

If you have a dietary require You have to come here. My husband is limited in what he can eat at the moment & eating out hadn’t been easy. No Gluten, no dairy, no eggs & no nuts. We have been here twice in a row due to the amazing service. The staff know their menu and were able to give multiple recommendations. We came here the second night as we went to another high end restaurant and were looked at like freaks & told no. The food tastes wonderful & I highly recommend it. Ps David is a fabulous waiter!

Lovely traditional Irish pub on the inside & seating overlooking the waterfront outside. The meals were standard prices, service was friendly and food was really nice. Good dietary options for gluten-free & dairy free folk. Yummy steak & lamb shanks, vegetables were good. Great specials, too. We did go on a Thursday, so it was a bit quiet, which was pleasant. The only improvements were that the window sils by the booths overlooking outside were a bit dusty & the mash was a bit chunky in parts, but good. Apparently, they have live music sometimes as well, which would be great. Recommend a visit.
