I just had the gluten free chicken kebab. Best gf wrap I have ever had and I loved the flavour of the kebab. I highly recommend.

I had no gluten-free food to eat at all during a “bottomless” group booking. I was part of a large group booking on Sunday. I am coeliac and the website assured us that there were gluten free options. The wait staff asked if anyone had any dietary requirements - I informed them I was coeliac and could not have gluten. The waitress said “that’s fine, just make sure you order the gnocchi as it’s gluten free”. Another few people on the table was vegetarian. Staff then passed around a note pad and we all had to write down what dishes we wanted. I wrote down gnocchi pear and Gorgonzola or gnocchi putanesca. Then the main came our - all pizza and pasta (but no gnocchi). I was not able to eat any of it. I told the wait staff that I had nothing to eat. Eventually they bought out a small pot of gnocci, which was meant to be shared by the table, including the people who were vegetarian. It was put at the other end of the table from me. It was a plain gnocci in a plain tomato sauce with no cheese. By the time the dish was passed to me, there was none left. It was barely enough to serve a single person, especially when there wasn’t anything else that we could eat. I was asked multiple, multiple times by wait staff if I wanted another drink. However, not one person asked me if I needed any food despite my plate being empty. I again asked a waitress for some food and told her I had had nothing to eat. She said she would talk to the chef. I waited a long time and no food came. By this time, the others had finished eating. Eventually someone again bought over a single small ramkin of gnocci in plain tomato sauces with no cheese. This was meant to be shared between myself and three vegetarian people. Someone asked why there was no cheese - the wait staff said they had not added cheese incase anyone was vegan (no one was vegan). We asked if we could have some more gnocci (with cheese) as this would not be enough for the four of us. They said they would get some more. None ever came. Our plates were then cleared away. In total, I payed $44 for a four pieces of gnocci in a plain tomato sauce with no cheese. I am not sure why we were given the gnocci Sorrento when no one on our table had preferences this, but I am guessing it was because it was the cheapest and lowest effort dish for your kitchen to make. I am also not sure why we had to ask so hard to get some food. I found the situation distressing and embarrassing, feeling like I literally had to beg for something to eat. I also didn’t want to make a big deal about it in front of a large group of my friends, so I paid the $44. You really need to re-think how you run your group “bottomless menu”. You claim you have gluten free options but I had no food. 12% of the population is gluten free. I have had coeliac for 20 years and have never had this issue better. It was such an embarrassing experience and I left feeling very hungry and disappointed.

I wish I could give more stars!!! I’m not even vegan, but I would choose this food over any other food every time. The staff are just wonderful, the decor is warm and inviting, it is inclusive here and I feel so welcomed. Soooo many gluten free options!!! The drinks are beautifully crafted, they make a perfect cup of tea! The mushroom steak, and the slaw are magical! Oh and the glasses are so clean and sparkly (which makes my autism happy, I appreciate a good clean glass haha) it’s lovely and warm and comfortable on a cold Melbourne night. I’ve been here a few times now and I simply love everything about it.
