What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Steaks (various: center-cut sirloin, filet mignon, ribeye, Melbourne porterhouse)
- Grilled chicken on the barbie
- From the Sea: salmon (Perfectly Grilled Salmon), lobster tails
- Sides: baked potato, sweet potato, broccoli, other vegetables (prepared as requested)
- Salads: house salad and Caesar salad prepared without croutons
- Desserts: Chocolate Thunder From Down Under (gluten-free brownie)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The location does not have a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, so cross-contact is possible during normal kitchen operations.
- Fries and other fried items may be cooked in shared fryers at times (not guaranteed gluten-free); some diners report safe experiences, while others report contamination.
- Croutons on salads or miscommunication about hiding gluten (ingredients or dressings) have occurred in some visits, especially during busy times.
- The safest approach is to actively engage staff: request the GF menu, clearly communicate allergies, ask about fryer usage and separate utensils, and consider avoiding items with higher contamination risk unless the kitchen confirms strict separation.
