4 of us dined in for my husbands birthday dinner, we were greeted by a very nice waitress and shown to our table. I was so happy to see the different dietary options they provide on the menu. I ordered a chicken burger (changing to GF option), their fries aren't GF since they are cooked in the same vat as gluten containing products so they offered to do me a potato mash which came with pumpkin chutney, and ordering GF garlic bread as entrée (there were 3 but I already ate one before taking the photo!) The food was absolutely amazing! Both waitress and waiter were fabulous and the restaurant/Cafe itself is very cozy and very fair in pricing. We have found our favorite eatery.

Went in for brunch with others and the atmosphere was welcoming, there were a few gluten-free options in the food cabinet as well as they make substitutions on the menu, there is no set gluten-free menu so there is a risk of cross contamination. The staff was nice and especially one waitress who took our photo whom was very friendly. I ordered the bacon and eggs on toast (poached and switched to gf bread) was very delicious I enjoyed it a lot, as well a flat white coffee which was very nice.
