Everything was absolutely perfect. Could not fault the service and as someone who has coeliac disease, this was truly a special lunch out. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a lovely meal out.

This is a must restaurant for celiac people! I was able to eat everything on the table and that hasn’t happened in almost 8 years. Thank you for having an all gluten free restaurant. I will definitely be back.

This menu is extremely uninspiring for the amount that you pay at the till at the end of the night. I feel like they are capitalizing on people who are allergic to gluten by charging a lot more than this menu is worth when compared to other local restaurants.

Fantastic for groups or dates. Lovely staff. Great to have somewhere everyone can go to without the coeliac of the group doing the embarrassing ‘what can I eat’ spiel. I do wish there were more vegetarian options though.

Great service especially given there was only 2 waiters. Food was exceptional and cocktail menu was very diverse with many options So nice to take my coeliac friends to a restaurant that they could enjoy with complete confidence they wouldn't get sick

Meantime is my favorite restaurant in Hamilton -Newcastle, I usually go Tuesday Wednesday nights when trade is a little slower, however there is always more business than one server can handle, Hannah is a great server and Meantime owners should be glad they have her, but there should be 2 servers this close to Christmas.
