Such a quaint and quiet restaurant. Beautiful, calming decor. Relaxing atmosphere. Wonderful service from the staff, easy to follow direction for ordering. Tasty food, I had the gluten free pad Thai (indeed spicy friendly because I cannot tolerate spice and this dish was perfect). Absolutely would recommend!
Enjoy a stunning location with great views and a unique atmosphere, perfect for a memorable meal experience!

I have celiac disease and asked about gluten free options on the menu. I was told I could have a gluten-free bun with my burger. I asked if the soup of the day was gluten-free, the wait staff went to check and told me that it was. I ordered the soup and a gluten-free burger.
When the food arrived, there was a bun alongside my soup. I asked if the bun was gluten-free. The waiter went to the kitchen to check and came back and told me it was not. They took the bun away. I was not offered a gluten-free bun.
A few minutes later, I was several bites into my burger when the waiter returned to tell me there had been a mistake, and the burger bun was not gluten-free. They took the burger away. I was not offered a replacement burger.
The manager came to our table to apologize for the error. I explained that this would make me very ill, within about an hour. A few moments later she returned with the chef, who also apologized. They told me took my information and told me they would go over what happened with their staff to make sure it didn’t happen again. They took my phone number and said they would call me to check on me the following day, and the day after that. They never called.
This is serious. Eating gluten not only makes people with celiac disease very sick, it also causes permanent intestinal damage.
Eating at this restaurant was the best dining experience I've had in St John's. The food is good, the price is good, and the service was exceptional. Very highly recommend for gluten free eaters.
I haven’t had that good of a ramen in a while! The veggies were fresh, the miso broth (which they make themselves!) super tasty, the portion was generous... AND they have gluten-free noodles folks!!! 🤩 Don’t know about you, but I’ll definitely visit this place again!
Went to this place on Saturday for some later eats. Extremely impressed with the entertainment, service, and food. I did not eat a lot, I do like that they have a lot of gluten free options. The atmosphere here is fun and inviting. Definitely recommend for late eats and entertainment.
There's a gluten free version of most everything on the menu. Penne as a gf pasta, all of their sauces are gf, and most of their toppings. It's very good to not feel limited for choices.
Excellent music by Ron Kelly, great menu options and service on a Friday night in May. Consistent friendly welcome from Chico when he only sees us from out of town a few times a year. Food was delicious. Scallops, spinach salad and fish and chips with sweet potato fries. 3 salad options, lots of fish and shellfish and gluten free options on dinner menu.
Great service and prices. Huge gluten free selection offered and were extremely careful in every step to make sure my food was safe from the others. Even bagged my to-go bag first so that we wouldn't mix them up at the table. Will go back for sure
Excellent service. Fast. The gentleman served a gluten free meal along with a regular meal and asked the appropriate questions in concern to cross containing.
I haven't even ate the food yet but I just wanted to leave a comment about the customer service. I have celiac disease so I called to ask about their gluten free options. I spoke to Nicki who I have to say was more than helpful. She told me they have a fryer that is designated for gluten sensitivity and talked me through some of their options. She was super friendly and understanding and gave me her name so when I called back to place my order I could talk to her. When I got off the phone I honestly felt like I had just finished talking to a friend. I have never had such exceptional service, especially when it comes to ordering gluten free. Probably the best service I've had ever. Thank you Nicki for your help and understanding, it was greatly appreciated and you definitely deserve a raise for incredible service!!
The staff were friendly and helpful.....4 of us were gluten free and our waiter (of 16 years their) was great....he took super care we had gluten free delicious food!
Fast, friendly drive-thru service. Food is delicious and on par with other A&W locations. As someone who is gluten sensitive, I love that they lettuce wrap their burgers!
Enjoy a vibrant spot with diverse menu options that cater to everyone's taste, ensuring a fun experience for all diners.

We love going to Jack Astor's. There's something for everyone from our picky eater, to our vegetarian to our celiac. Candace is the best but I might be biased!
A cozy bunkhouse stay enhances the experience at this welcoming spot, where attention to detail ensures a delightful visit.

I have recently been diagnosed with celiac disease and Smuggler’s Cove was the first place I’d gone. The restaurant was incredibly well versed, and catered to my needs, even though we dined later in the evening, at a time when the menu options were limited. They went above and beyond to make sure I had a lovely experience.
As an added bonus, we spent the night in one of the bunkhouses on sight. It was so cozy and relaxing and clean and tidy!
Highly recommend!
This charming spot offers a delightful vibe with standout dishes like a must-try burger and unforgettable bacon-wrapped scallops that wow diners.

Lovely restaurant with a delicious gluten-free burger (the Amelia burger, with a GF bun) and the best bacon-wrapped scallops (also gluten free) I've ever had. The server (Kim) was very helpful and seemed knowledgeable about celiac and concerns about the potential risk of cross-contamination with wheat flour. Strongly recommended! 👍👍🍔 🤤
Enjoy deliciously crispy fish with perfect portion sizes and local cider on tap, all while experiencing a commitment to quality.

Gluten-free fish and chips. Cooked in a dedicated fryer. And the fish is crisp and delicious. The rice flour pushes away the moisture and creates a very tasty piece of fish. The serving size was right, not a mountain of fries on a monster slab of fish. They respect food quality and their patrons. Local cider on tap. We shall return!
Upstairs rooms and a cozy bar vibe make this a great spot, with skilled bartenders crafting unique drinks and offering personal local tips.

A friend and I stayed in the rooms upstairs, and after a long day of traveling from Vancouver, decided to head down to the bar after dropping stuff off in our room.
I'm so glad we did!
I had potato skins and the chicken wings. They were very tasty, and Gluten-free! I also had a fair amount of wine. :D
The man behind the bar that night was attentive and kind (I think he even laughed at one of my jokes= very kind). As he grew up in the area, he also had a lot of fantastic recommendations.
Some words about Blair: "Not only is Blair really smart, but he's also super kind and generous. I've heard him referred to as 'saintly' and I wouldn't argue."
I would suggest trying whatever drink/cocktail special they have when you're there. They're concoction wizards!
For a few other nights, we had Ian serving us. He was also kind and attentive, and withstood friendly roasting quite well. I looked forward to our evenings downstairs at Magnum & Steins. Other staff members, and especially the manager, Kelly, really made us feel like family. It was so lovely, and they're a major part of why I can't wait to head back to St. John's. I could probably write a novel, but I'll settle for this short story. ❤️
