They were very accommodating/knowledgeable to gluten friendly choices and were able to clearly communicate which dishes they could make for me. I had the vegetable rice noodles and they were delicious. It is a shared kitchen.

Excellent service from the moment we sat down. Lovely waiter, interesting, unhurried and very attentive. The meals were superb only the venison could have been a bit warmer. No specific kids menu but happy to serve a kids portion. Well catered gluten free. Beautiful side of vegetables.Timely service and wholesome interaction. A bit pricey but we did eat quality meals. Well done AAA

We ordered all three of the gluten free meals that are on the menu and shared them between two. It was too much food honestly but it was all so delicious that we ate it all at the expense of ordering dessert. We were there for our wedding anniversary and it was just right. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing. The staff member greeted us like friends he hadn’t met yet and was very attentive and kind. The music was in the background and had a lovely kiwi feel. The place was clean and the tables are spaced apart so you can chat comfortably. If you are looking for somewhere to eat this is the place. Value for money, great service, delicious food and comfy atmosphere. 10 out of 10 would visit again!

Friendly staff, good atmosphere, good food. Having coeliac (gluten-free) made it a bit difficult to eat out in town, but the lady that served us here was very up to play with my needs and gave me confidence to eat here.
