It's so nice to go to a restaurant where Gluten Free is not limited to just one or two choices. Our meals were delicious and dessert just divine. Great food and friendly service. Doesn't get much better than that.

A wonderful birthday lunch. The food was absolutely beautiful and the staff were amazing - helpful, attentive and so careful with our special dietary needs. Best selection of gluten free food I have ever seen. Also loved the way the staff didn’t rush us in any way and let us talk, eat, relax and leave in our own time.

The host and Rick were lovely and very attentive. We travelled from Pakenham to get there and arrived very early - and the accommodated us. The food was delicious, and the serving sizes were spot on. Will definitely be returning soon!

While the plates were certainly impressive, the portions were somewhat underwhelming. My risotto, unfortunately, was marred by unexpected surprises—gritty bits of shell that threatened to send my teeth flying. And the chips? Well, let's just say they weren't quite up to par. My friend was equally disappointed with her Bolognese, especially considering the hefty price tag. It's a shame that such a high price point didn't translate into a more extraordinary dining experience.

Rick’s a great host. He was friendly and very hospitable. Nothing too much trouble. Place was a little quiet for a Friday lunchtime. Nice decor My hubby did enjoyed his meal ( COTOLETTA Chicken ) I ordered the seafood pasta - PASTA ALLO SCOGLIO which was a little disappointing for a seafood lover and at their price point I would expected more quality than what was served. The king prawns were only 2 small sized prawns and were dry/overcooked. 2 mussels one wasn’t any good. Fish pieces some were fresh some were dry. Calamari was fresh and nice. Pasta was cooked well. Flavour was a little bland for my taste. But overall not too bad an experience given my hubby did enjoyed his meal and Rick was nice and friendly. We would recommend and would go back and try out other dishes.

Was an awesome experience. The staff were friendly and understood the needs of a coeliac. What is better they were able to cater for that with a good variety of foods and more exciting was that the food was yummy. Highly recommended if you are coeliac or have allergies. We will be going back again and again. Lovely venue and lovely people.

Literally the best restaurant I have EVER been to as a coeliac. Rick was awesome and all the staff were so nice. Will definitely be going back next time we are down from the Gold Coast Will be encouraging family and friends in Victoria to also visit. Food was amazing. The only time EVER was treated as a real person and not someone who had issues with food. All courses tasted amazing and SAFE for me. My three companions who were not coeliacs also loved all of the food.

Atmosphere was nice. Never came back for drinks orders until we got out food. Caesar salad was served with no bacon but was on the menu and iceberg lettuce. Steak was chewy and vegetables appeared to look like frozen packet ones. Even though great GF options but needs to be elevated for a restaurant charging those prices, frankly I can cook better tasting and presenting GF food. It was disappointing as it’s rare to eat out safe but had higher expectations and the cost $170 didn’t not match.

We ate Calamari and the southern fried chicken. Our meals were delicious. My wife is coeliac and she enjoyed the gluten free meals. Rick offered us gluten free dessert and we both loved it even though we were already full! Great wine selection at reasonable prices. We will be back!

Rick made our daughter who has coeliacs feel like a queen and the most important person at our table, which certainly doesn’t happen elsewhere. To top that off he customised a delicious dish for her and the food for the rest of us was just as good. Will be returning, and cannot recommend enough

Ricks was recommended to me by work colleagues, and I must say that this is a hidden gem which is not so hidden. It's not crowded, it's not noisy, the selection of food for those with dietary requirements is amazing and unlike a lot of places, Rick makes sure that there is no cross contamination. Would I go back again? In a heartbeat. Rick is quick to pick up on good old fashion banter and can banter with the best of us.
