Great food. Full GF menu

We went here to try the food as my friend is celiac and they offer gluten free options. Food was yummy. Lamb pieces were abit tough but the other 2 skewers were a hit! Rice was bland but the yoghurt helped. Ambience is nice though tables were very crowded in small space.

Annabella Khalu

We had a great experience. A table of 3 adults and 1 child with gluten and dairy allergies and our waitress Meg was a pro at making sure our orders were suitable. Thank you!

One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to. The reviews we so good I thought, I have to try Alfresco Italian. I'm celiac, and they catered for me without any trouble. The meals were delicious, service was top level and a great atmosphere and decor. I'll be back.

Penny Leidersdorff

Was excited to try this restaurant as it came recommend for gluten free dining. We enjoyed a tasty pasta dish and flatbread, with very generous servings. Prices are a little higher but one pasta dish and flatbread was plenty of food for two adults to share.

Rachel Cooper

WARNING TO ALL CELIACS AND THOSE ALLERGIC TO GLUTEN AND LACTOSE!!! (Vegans too, I guess) *Next day - My gutts have reacted to my lactose allergy, and it's bad... I clearly received lactose as well as gluten in my food. This Grill'd is a joke and should be shut down. Or maybe delete all the staff and management, and replace them with a team that is trained in allergy awareness. Being vegan isn't a disease... Celiac is! And lactose and gluten allergies are serious business. I told the staff I have celiacs disease. To be fair, I am not celiac but I have severe gluten allergies. Usually when you tell the staff you have celiacs disease, they take you seriously. But these guys, they don't care... I am now suffering severe pain from gluten being in my food... The food has made a serious impact on my gluten allergy and now I'm suffering hard... This is very unacceptable and I will be contacting the necessary food authorities to inform them that you have very unsafe work methods. It's lucky I'm NOT celiac because that's a very serious auto immune disease and your company needs to take this a lot more serious. Everything I ordered was gluten free, including the sauces. Clearly I've been served food that was heavily cross contaminated. You need to train your staff about cross contamination, and the severity of celiacs disease. Pretty pathetic that I have to even tell you this, and that I need to deal with this on the first holiday I've had in over 15 years... Very sad indeed. To top it all off, they were playing really bad pop "music" and it was as loud as a night club 🤦🏿 "look at me I'm so cool brahhhh..." Pathetic... Do you not care about people with ASD either?

Amazing place and coeliac friendly !

They’re really nice here and have lots of gf options!

May Tang

The place was exactly what we needed, close to the beach, quiet, good food, and convenient. We were craving some vegetables and were able to have some fresh food, the soup was good, the calamari was quite delish! Great flavor and nicely crisp, would come back just for those. They also accommodate gluten free options, the waitress was great by making sure about it being gluten free which was really kind.

Therese Gardiner

Amazing food! We had the lunch set menu and it was sooo good. I’m gluten free and had there were so many great options. I will definitely be back again very very soon!

Sharon Hartridge

Truly a 5 star+ experience for Buffet Breakfast at Citrique yesterday morning. Have been a number of times before and it just gets better and better. Food so fresh and tasty and beautifully displayed, and such variety. And service professional, warm and prompt. Love the detail of the décor eg Gluten Free signage incorporated into fixture. I had the pleasure of working for ITT Sheraton/Starwood/Marriott for the majority of my career, and I have had the privilege and enjoyment of experiencing many of the group’s hotels and brands over the years, and JW Marriott Gold Coast - and breakfast at Citrique - are definitely right up there amongst my faves. I love this hotel (which was transformed in 2020/2021 from a Marriott to the Luxury brand JW Marriott) and look forward to returning again and again.

Jerry Martino

Absolutely amazing. Our family has food allergies and the wait staff were very patient and chef amazing and willing to adjust the menu for us. GLUTEN FREE heaven for our kids with hot chips and an accomodating kitchen for other menu items. Wish we found this place earlier in our stay great wine list and sommelier to help you choose what kind of wine you like. We will be back.

Lisa-Marie Singer

Super tasty burgers. However, you have to order fries separately. There would be a bit of a wait but there is a vibe here and it was really tasty! And there are gluten-free buns 😍

Clay Watt

Eat here everything we visit. Food is consistent however they need a new supplier for the gluten free bread asap.

Danny Clarke

First time to Milk Lane. Food was fantastic. Definitely recommend trying this place for a feed. Cocktails were awesome too. They also do gluten free buns.

Tracy Downs

This is such a relaxed cafe with amazing food and large portions and most important large variety of GLUTEN FREE options so great for a coeliac! also excellent value for money! meals are presented well and really leave you feeling satisfied. staff are polite and food is quick. Ate here twice over our 3 days stay as it was a must return visit the second time!

Anne Orton

Great food and service giving us caring advice about my coeliac husband and recommending appropriate choices. Thanks Enzos for my birthday lunch

Hannah Briggs

Amazing and friendly service from the staff, so accommodating with my dietary restrictions (coeliac disease). Particularly high mentions to Kate who went above and beyond with all of my requests and checking menu items for me personally with the chef, and just her general positive energy & friendliness was so refreshing.

Lisa Lee

It claimed gluten free. I was watching the chef and noticed a bottle that looked like soy sauce. I asked the waitress is that gluten free soy sauce she checked and it was just soy sauce. I mentioned soy sauce has wheat which is gluten. Because careful those that have issues with gluten. They can't make those claims when they are using gluten. It can make someone with gluten issues very sick

Jana Husak

We had an amazing experience! It was our first time, from the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out. Service was 10/10, all staff was super attentive, the food exceptional & the live music was so so great and overall the atmosphere was amazing. Even the gluten free option, the best burger I’ve ever had. We loved it!!!! Thank you. Highly recommend.

Sam Kennard

This place has great food and service. They were also terrific with our gluten free requirements. The chef’s are very entertaining too. I was struck by the age and condition of the fit-out inside though. The floor coverings in particular are well past their use-by date, very discoloured and worn, and just need replacing. A pity this detracted from the experience.

A pleasant surprise. We actually had reservations at another Japanese restaurant, however that one left us disappoint as they were unable to honour our reservation. Stop forward Mr Kojima, they were able to get our party of four seated quickly and we opted for the Omakase menu, which is more akin to a 'feed me' set menu where they do the hard work of picking what to eat. $65pp, we weren't sure what to think, but there was. Huge amount of variety and definitely enough food to leave you content with a full belly. Some highlights included the Wagyu beef on a sizzling cast iron, the pork belly and the tuna tartare with crispy rice bites. The staff were super nice and knowledgeable, especially as one of our diners required gluten free food. Very happy that we stumbled upon this little gem and we will definitely be back when we visit the Gold Coast again!

Amna K-Hassan

I called them for a dinner order takeaway. The chef was so helpful in choosing some options. They have gluten free pasta and sauce and it was an amazing dish. He also helped with a vegetarian option for my friend. The food was amazing. The customer service was amazing. Definitely eat here.

Niamh McCotter

Really tasty and great for gluten free.

Craig Mawson

It's a bit of a random vibe. There was a giant group in for a buffet when we came but they were alright. The service is decent and the food very nice. Staff knowledgeable about gluten free. Toilet is in a nearby hotel which is bizarre. Staff are good. Well priced. No alcohol (Halal venue).

Georgia Shirley

I’ve never been so impressed with a restaurants high quality service and consideration in terms of people with dietary needs or allergies. I am vegan and gluten free and was taken into consideration by the chef himself who altered dishes to suit my needs and brought them to me himself and had the courtesy to explain them. Majority of restaurants are unable to provide this so coming here tonight made my night and was very much a memorable experience. A big thank you to the chef and staff🙏❤️

Ainsley Dewhurst

Amazing view. They had gluten free chips which tasted amazing and a few other options

Wayne Connell

Great venue the staff always so friendly we have been here for coffee in the morning and for drinks and dinner at night. Loads of gluten free options for my wife. It’s now one of our go to places to eat and drink when is surfers.

Megs Briggs

We're absolutely stoked with the gluten free churros!!! All dished had good serving portions, flavorful meats and they definitely did not skimpy on the toppings! Good food, good service and great atmosphere!

Katymae Element

Best food on the Gold coast we travel from Brisbane amd soooo much gluten free!

Deanna Nott

Paul from Arlo's Pizzeria has looked after many of my clients and most recently catered our daughter's 21st birthday ... and we couldn't have been happier with his service and food! He was exceptionally prompt, worked within our budget and went above and beyond to accommodate our guests, including those with coeliac disease, which we greatly appreciated. The charcuterie board, salads, pasta and pizza he prepared were absolutely fantastic - every guest raved about the quality and flavour. Having Paul cater the event made the night so much more enjoyable and stress-free. If you're planning a home function and want amazing food and professional service, Paul is your go-to. We'll definitely be booking him again for our next event.

This is a great pizza place!! I got an extra large pizza for my brother, garlic bread, and a large pizza for myself on New Year's for around 37$ if I am remembering correctly. Even with the surchage for holiday rates it was such a good deal. Also- I am celiac and with a dairy allergy. They took it very seriously and the pizza was still delicious; no allergy reactions either!! It is rare for me to find affordable yummy pizza that I can actually eat. 6 star rating from me :)

Jen V

Great food. Great service and very considerate of me being coeliac

Michelle B

Great fun night out, superb food and service and lots of laughs as chef prepared food. Highly recommend and coeliac safe.

Angie L

Food was immaculate, staff was very friendly and helpful. I would 100% come back. The gluten free pasta was amazing!

Hayley Mitchell

Beautiful restaurant and ambience. Wide range of incredible food and so tasty (and appreciate the gluten free options!). Special thanks to Tara and Kelly for their service, they were angels. Will definitely be back!

Tristan Cameron

Outstanding range of fresh and delicious food (eat in and take-away). Also a good range of gluten-free food.

Lawrence Lau

Just enjoyed a lovely meal. Glad to see gluten free and onion/garlic free options.

Codyiander

Came here late 45mins before breakfast shuts and would say was very impressed with the selection despite coming in late. Omelette was cooked to perfection and those poached eggs for service was 👌👌👌👌on point. Love the yogurt section with all the nuts/seeds and dried fruit. Chia seed was on point as well. Ran out of gluten free bread but it’s alright as there’s heaps of other options available. And surprised as there was congee which I usually find in Singapore brekkie buffet spread. Staff were on top of clearing and topping up the spread. I’d suggest this place if you want a garden brekkie vibe in the gc

Sabrina Beath

Coeliac and admittedly aware it can be difficult but this is a Japanese restaurant and have never had so much difficulty getting clarity on what was Gluten Free or not. The waitress kept changing her mind on what was and wasn't. If you want good Japanese food better off going to the one in the Casino.

My family and I ate there last night, beautiful atmosphere and delicious food, super accommodating for nut and gluten free child and adult, the food was delicious and so was the strawberry lassi

Kat Perkins

For those of us who have allergies and dietary requirements, this is a great venue to dine in. I decided to get the pork from here and it was beautifully cooked and an amazing amplitude of flavours. I was given gluten free bread as an alternative and offered a fair few choices for my allergies.
