A bit disappointing for several reasons; 1. The limited gluten-free options on entree meant that one of our party could only have main, and we believed dessert. 2. This is the first time I’ve encountered a Pad Thai that couldn’t be made gluten-free. I’m not disputing that, I’d far rather the request be unavailable than incorrect but a check on this would be good. 3. Advised that whipped cream had gone runny overnight, asked if we wanted to proceed with or without. This would have also been a good time to answer earlier questions about dessert. 4. We asked the young lady serving us to check that the ice cream dessert was gluten-free, instead we were told after the dessert was delivered and there was no consideration for either taking it back or even an alternate suggessted, a bit awkward for the table. Other than that I enjoyed the food and setting, am really hoping that we just encountered you on a bad day.

Our walking group from Papamoa comes here 3 or 4 times a year. After our walk we have a late morning tea, so only want cabinet food, not a full meal. Most of us enjoy the food, service and the space to seat 12 people in a group. Unfortunately the gluten-free options are very limited.
