Genuinely brilliant. The best cooked meal I've had in as long as I can remember. Excellent value for money given the quality of the food.
I had the whole snapper, my partner had the (gluten free) fish and chips. Everything was well seasoned, well cooked and generous in portion size.
I think we've just found our new favourite restaurant & we can't wait to go back.

Overall, we had a mixed experience – some dishes were delicious, but several service and food issues kept the evening from being truly special.
• Tasty mains: The lamb (with potatoes) was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly.
• Great gluten-free dessert: The gluten-free rhubarb dessert was a wonderful end to the meal – creative and flavorful.
Areas for Improvement
• Slow service for basics: Water service was slow, and one of our cocktails was forgotten until we reminded the staff.
• Service slip-ups: A waiter dropped cutlery near our table, and we were almost served a drink in a chipped glass (caught just in time).
• Table clutter: Unused wine glasses stayed on our table all night, which felt cluttered and unnecessary.
• No dish explanations: Each dish was delivered with no description or introduction, leaving us guessing what we were eating.
• Food quality issues: Some ingredients not fresh – the cauliflower salad had pomegranate seeds that tasted old, and a gluten-free zucchini flower appetizer had an off (fishy) taste.
• Burnt dessert: Unfortunately, the churros we ordered came out burnt, which was disappointing, especially for a special occasion.
The service was brilliant but best for me was the perfect gluten free barramundi and chips with a beautiful dressing on the salad. Thanks team for a rare and special dining experience for me and my brother while visiting from Coffs Harbour.

Great portion sizes. Fresh fish and calamari. Gluten free options (grilled fish, and chips are gf too). They were very busy (waited 30mins for our order) but the staff were transparent about it when ordering and super friendly.

Our new family celebration venue. Highly recommended for coeliacs. Fabulous spot, friendly and attentive staff (particularly with coelic requests) and best of all happy tummies :)
CASA is located in a beautiful and charming spot, especially during Vivid — the ambiance is lovely, and the staff were very attentive and friendly. However, a few things during our visit left us disappointed.
Even with the heaters on, the place was still quite cold, which made our food cool down very quickly. The fries were overcooked, had a burnt taste, and were completely unseasoned — not even a pinch of salt.
I was told there was a gluten-free bruschetta option, but no one mentioned they would replace the bread with pizza dough. That really changed the texture and flavor, and unfortunately, it wasn’t very enjoyable.
The BBQ chicken pizza was another letdown. The BBQ sauce was extremely strong and tasted like a generic, store-bought version — overpowering everything else.
On a positive note, the pulled pork with potatoes was absolutely delicious — definitely the highlight of the meal.
I’ve been to CASA before and had a great pizza, so I know they can do better. I’m sharing this feedback hoping it helps improve the overall experience for future guests.
I had a Poke Bowl at the Yours and Owls festival it was really good and me being celiac (gluten free) is was really comforting that he was aware of cross contamination and re made my order. I’ll be going again today.

If I could give zero stars I would. Please read other comments/ reviews that were made recently and see that there are continuous problems with the value of the food but most of all the management. The woman who claims she is the manager has the most appalling attitude and poor organisational skills. Sitting my family which is inclusive of a Baby under 12 months next to the live loud music despite having a booking is not good enough. Giving my husband gluten even though I specified he is gluten intolerant is not good enough. When I asked to speak to the host she was shouting in my face She was the manager and had an awful attitude. I never asked if you were the manager. I asked if we could sit somewhere else! You are confrontational and the rest of the staff there were dancing around like it was their first day. We asked several times for various things and had a massive Wait time. If we were lucky enough that something was brought to us. Paid $85 for 13 bites of food. Save your money and go somewhere else. Newcastle has a lot of options that are WORTH it.

Marlin seafood has not only filled the hunger in my belly, but also my craving for delicious seafood. The salad was fresh and the fish was cooked to perfection. The chips are also gluten free! I highly recommend here if you are craving a battered sav, some fresh grilled fish, or a crunchy garden salad or chippies. Do yourself a flavor and have a crack!
Had such a wonderful meal here with friends. Quick and friendly service. Delicious and generous portions. Great vibe in the restaurant with a fabulous central location. Dined with my coeliac daughter who was extremely well looked after. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel safe and comfortable with their safety measures. A dedicated chip fryer meant no chance of cross contamination, and the delicious ribs and sauce are all gluten free! A coeliac paradise!!
Jordan's is one of the best places to eat in Darling Harbour. It has a pleasant alfresco atmosphere, with nice music and fresh air although indoor dining options are also available. Staff are lovely, attentive and friendly. The drinks and food are fantastic. Great seafood and delicious vegetarian and gluten free options as well. I strongly recommend this restaurant.
Lovely staff, and gorgeous location. Fresh fish, and gluten-free chips! Lots of GF options, and staff generally aware, which is comforting as a coeliac!
Excellent time spent with family for lunch, went for the feed me menu (3 course). No problem looking after/catering to my Coeliac diet. Delicious food and wonderful service. Shout out to Coco for looking after us!
Although it’s a seafood shop I really enjoyed their woodfire pizza. The dough was tasty, generous with their toppings and I love that they use fior di latte cheese. My husband also enjoyed his gluten free pizza. Only thing I would suggest is my family and I would have loved a lot more cheese on the pizza. Other than that we definitely will order again.
My choice was fish and chips with the gluten free option (grilled, not beer battered). Absolutely, the best take away fish and chips that I have ever had. The fish was succulent, fresh, well seasoned and had a sprinkle of fresh spring onion over the top. The chips were cooked perfectly with great seasoning. All this for $20. My partner had the normal lightly coated in a delicate beer batter which was top notch as well.
Drink options include beer and wine which makes this a fabulous takeaway or eat in option. Highly recommended!
The food was incredible!! (I’m also a coeliac and it’s probably one of the few restaurants which actually understands cross contamination and takes it seriously.) Food and service were divine. Fish like you have never had before! For me, it’s one of Sydney’s best restaurants. Highly recommend.
First class dinner - menu choices were nicely varied and quality and freshness of food ‘spot on’ - attention to detail for our nut and gluten allergies was excellent.
Yes i thoroughly recommend them for good old fashioned service and good food. I'm Celiac so I am severely allergic to gluten. I just asked the waiter when taking my order for a non gluten free meal and to my delight he checked with the kitchen and made it gluten free. Super service. And it was really great. Fresh seafood, cooked to perfection. Not the cheapest, not the most expensive by far... just wonderful food reasonable price. My wife and I will return here no problem.
Amazing for gluten free/coeliac, seperate fryer and heaps of options. Also delicious margaritas and seafood. Nice chill vibe to spend the afternoon, highly recommend
Super happy. Was attracted by the drum circle playing opposite. 💃🏼🪘Got two gluten free fish and chips to take away, perfect for watching the sunset at the waterfront.
Havent had fish and chips for ages because it’s hard to find gf, and the oil can be hit and miss. Fishheads were attentive with our food allergy requirements, and the oil tasted clean, & fried light & crisp. Best tartare Ive ever tasted. Great beachside date. 🌿🌞💎🌊✨
We just finished our late lunch at FICH. This will become one of our favourite restaurants. The food was divine. Service awesome and super helpful with our COELIAC. We took our desserts as takeaway / dinner . So glad we finally got here. YUM
Our go to place for fish and chips. Gluten free options like grilled fish, calamari and the chips. We mostly take away but there are some outside tables to sit at.
Beautifully fresh seafood platters, the sweetest and most flavoursome crabs, pricing is so affordable and well worth the money compared to other similar restaurants. Tried 3 seperate sauces and all were amazing. Gluten free options. Can’t wait to return
We had a wonderful dinner at Rick Steins. The food and service was perfect. My 10 year old and my coeliac husband were catered for wonderfully, and we had a delightful and relaxing evening.
Food was delicious and tasted fresh. I had the crumbed fish (not gf) which was a generously sized fillet and had a nice golden crunchy crumb.
Manager was very nice and helpful to cater for gluten free dietary requirements.
Fantastic place for dinner. I booked a week a head for a 6pm table at the window and that's what we received. It was wonderful. The food was beautiful and so delicious. Hubby and I had entrees and mains and shared an extra plate of salad. We also had a beautiful chocolate mousse dessert each once I found it was Gluten free. This restaurant caters for allergies and has great Vegan options. Perfect views as the sun went down. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you guys for a great night.
I attended my work Christmas party here last week and I was absolutely delighted with the amazing service. Our waiter took great care with my dietary needs making sure I could enjoy myself being vegetarian gluten free. Stuffed zucchini flowers were wonderful and they modified a curry for me for my main. Such a treat to have gluten free fries.
I had a wonderful time Thank you.
We stumbled across this restaurant on a Sunday evening and decided to push the door to ask the Gluten Free question. The restaurant manager welcomed us and assured me that there were plenty of GF options and the restaurant manager knew his stuff as we went through the menu.
We had garlic butter mud crab which was delicious!
