Some time ago, we decided it was time Brisbane’s West End had our very own tropical Covent Garden oasis…not long after, this little beauty was born! A contemporary gin house (with 500+ gins to indulge in), as well as one of Australia’s very few fully coeliac friendly / gluten free restaurants, right in the beating heart of West End!

Our son, who is Coeliac, was celebrating his 34th birthday, our first celebration together in fifteen years, since he has been living overseas, and it was great to know that he could safely eat anything on the menu. We were very well looked after and had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. All of the dishes were truly excellent. Top class. Good tucker, I reckon!

As per the website I made a booking, it was our wedding anniversary and was looking forward to trying the “700+” gins. I did let them know on my booking that it was drinks only. Upon arrival we were sat at a table (a hall way area) that had no ambiance and was plain. We were told that we would not have any table service as we were only having drinks. We got up and left. Did not have any drinks. Unsure why people who were planning on spending significant amounts on cocktails and had booked a table would not get table service and needed to go to the bar to order! Suggest you re-think this strategy.

This venue has all dishes Gluten free which is great. Unfortunately the service was very bad we seemed to bother the waitress. Would only go again as one in the party has an intolerance but not again if I can find a different venue that is also gluten free. Food was average.
