The food quality has dropped substantially since the place was sold. I had been going here regularly for the past ten years. I have been telling myself the substantial drop in quality over the past couple of years are one offs, but every time I go, the food is poorly made, doesn't include what was stated in the menu. The smoothie I had been ordering for ten years was poorly made, watery like every time I have had it over the past year. The fries that were supposed to come with a gluten free vegan aioli came with sauce without telling me. Whatever I got today it was definitely not gluten free and I will be spending the rest of the day sick. So many happy memories of this place it was hard to give up but its clear from the owners comments they could care less and are happy to take our money and ruin one of the best eateries in hamilton very sad. I am relocating to a different city and I guess at least I don't have to worry about missing this place anymore :(

Only ubered from here and got the bubble and squeak being gluten free. First time meat portion wasn't quite right poached eggs slightly over cooked and hollandaise was lacking and got a gut ache afterwards. They responded with a Voucher to order again this time meat portion seemed better eggs were perfect onion however was chunky and not fully cooked hollandaise same issue already feel my stomach turning so not sure if that's related to this food specifically having gluten or just something else new setting me off 🤣 the fact they seemed to have taken some constructive criticism on board and improved is much more then most do and the lack of sauce I suspect could be easily remedied if you actually ordered at the restaurant. As dumb as this might sound what is the packaging made of the food comes in ?

We took our young family out for our first restaurant meal together ever. Our table had been booked where requested (out of the way, in a booth so not to worry others) and we were greeted by staff. The wait staff were able to inform me of meals that could be adapted for dietary requirements, and they also gave the kids colouring sheets and crayons to keep them occupied. Despite my youngest getting up and spying on the kitchen staff, they still played along with her and gave her the attention she wanted 😅 The food was incredible, can highly recommend a gluten free pizza there. The base was really tasty which is hard to find. The kids meals were great too, had everything they wanted. Highly recommend going there for a family meal. Great prices too. Thanks for a really cool experience.

Fantastic Vietnamese eatery. Everything tasted fresh and was super flavourful. I especially recommend the lemongrass tofu, which was especially rich in flavour. Almost everything on the menu is gluten and dairy friendly, and also plenty of vegetarian dishes on offer.

Great little Cafe with great atmosphere, I really like that every time I go and ask for gluten-free or get a gluten-free cabinet food, they ask if I'm celiac to prevent cross contamination.

I recently visited this restaurant with my family and had a mixed experience. While I appreciated the allergy menu and good selection of gluten-free options, the pork belly dish was disappointing. The pork belly was too dry and lacked of crispness on the skin, I was hoping to have that crunchie sound when cutting up. On a positive note, the prawn and scallop tortellini was impressive and delicious. However, the food took a bit too long to arrive at the table, which was a bit frustrating. The portions were quite small due to the tapas style of dining, which made it hard to justify the high price. Overall, I would still recommend this restaurant for the good selection of gluten-free options.

I asked for a GF version as I'm coeliac. The person behind the counter asked me if I was coeliac when he took my order. But I found out the hard way an hour later that the food when it arrived definitely wasn't GF. Was sick for two days.
