    My friends and I recently ate at Meantime - The Entrance and loved the experience. The service was very friendly and the food was great. I was the only Coeliac that can't eat gluten and I was like a kid in a candy store trying to decide what to eat with everything being Gluten Free. I enjoyed my choices and the squid was really good. My gluten eating friends didn't notice the difference and also thought the food was great.

    We had a lovely family dinner and were impressed by the service. The waitress was really accommodating of our messy toddler, offering thoughtful suggestions for kid-friendly options. The whole family enjoyed the meal, but it was especially wonderful for our coeliac daughter, who loved the great gluten-free options available. Thank you!

    So great to find a safe gluten-free restaurant for my family of coeliacs! Everything the menu so far (our second visit last night) has been delicious too. Highly recommend!

    Another amazing meal, the pasta ragu melted in your mouth, the gnocchi was delicious and the sticky date pudding was moreish, that caramel sauce was mouth watering. Staff are are so attentive and friendly. Atmosphere is relaxing yet sophisticated. Good value, it's our new favorite restaurant. We will be back again.

    My wife is allergic to wheat and gluten so to find a gluten free restaurant was surprising and welcomed…. An absolute treat to order anything from the menu Unfortunately due to chefs going home sick we waited three hours but it was an enjoyable meal…. Seats got uncomfortable after that time too…. However wait staff were great and meal was good

    Great choice of meals and reasonably priced. Service a little slow (we booked for 11:30am) Most ranged from $30 - $40. Unfortunately the food did not suit some of our party. Would recommend.

    Staff bent over backwards to assist your needs. Nice to have a menu with everything gluten free. Even for our 1 non gluten free guest thru enjoyed there meal. Fish n chips was crunchy, lamb cutlets and gnocchi all delicious. We will go back to sample more but save room for dessert
