Need the gluten-free and prefer a couple of customisations and the food comes out great.
No matter how insanely busy the place gets, the staff never look less than professional and friendly.
Occasionally the music has been too loud but even that has been settled at times. The place is great; that's it.
With a good selection of gluten-free options, this spacious club caters thoughtfully to those with dietary restrictions. The distinct dining areas and welcoming, modern decor create a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy meals safely. Guests can appreciate the versatile menu that includes gluten-free dishes like the Sand Crab Linguini, making it a reliable choice for celiac diners seeking both variety and ambiance.

Hit and Miss. Most staff are friendly and welcoming but there are a few "wanna-be management climbers" who go out of their way to make you feel like you are privileged to be here. In particular - a vertically challenged "security" guy who struts around the gaming room with his chest puffed out trying to look important. He will assume that you are doing the wrong thing without any evidence and lie when challenged. Also - the tall girl in the cafe with the brown hair in a pony tail. I think her name begins with a "J". She has as a chip on her shoulder and clearly does not enjoy working there. She is always stressed, never smiles and is in a bad mood. She's frightening to order from.
After visiting with friends and family several times we have come to the conclusion that certain staff members at Club Southside don't understand the importance of "keeping the customer happy". More staff training in manners and a customer focused approach is definately needed.
Also - the quality of the food is dependant on who the chef is on duty that day. We have had over cooked steak and burnt food more times than not. The new cafe menu is not appealing - particulary the date pancakes. They taste like dried up, rotting garbage. The smoked salmon on the potato rosti is NEVER hot although it is advertised as such.
As far as catering for dietary needs - forget it! The staff have no idea about gluten free and most times there are no gluten free sweet options in the cafe cabinet. I've witnessed gluten free cakes being placed on the same plate and shelf as non-gluten free products, rendering them inedible to people sensitive to gluten.
The specials on offer M-TH in the restaurant never cater for food intolerances except for the steak. Depending on which chef is asked there may or may not be a gluten or dairy free option.
How difficult is it to have a box of gluten free or dairy free pancake batter in the kitchen? At least there would be one dessert option for those of us who suffer from the most common food intolerances.
Club Southside is convenient to where we live and hence the reason we continue to patronage it. If the above mentioned staff members relaxed and at least pretended to enjoy their jobs it would make the experience more pleasant for everyone.
This venue offers a dedicated gluten-free menu, ensuring a safe and enjoyable dining experience for those with dietary restrictions. The staff's attentiveness in confirming gluten-free options multiple times highlights their commitment to guest well-being. Combined with a wonderful atmosphere and standout dishes like perfectly cooked mud crabs and wasabi squid ink dumplings, it transforms traditional yum cha into a memorable culinary destination for gluten-free diners.

Always always always great service and food. Especially with kids that have dietary needs. Staff checked multiple times that dishes we order are gluten free or nut free.
No troubles coming here
Celiac friendly
