  Rang if the place could cater for my nine year old son with gluten and dairy allergies. Would not be a problem. When we arrived and looked at the menu we were disappointed on what he could eat. The chips are cooked in general oil and will be contained but what most places do is not possible here, Pan fry some chips. The waitress suggested the lasagne as that is gluten free and double checked in the kitchen if this could be done dairy free. Yes, no problem. Meals came. First thing i noticed was parmesan shaves on top of lasagne. Gave the plate right back to the very apologetic waiteress. Not too long after a large serve of lasagne came. I helped my spn to cut it. First thing i see is melted cheese, did a taste check. Yes, definitely cheese. Took plate up to the bar. The girl was very embarrassed and i told her that i wanted pan fried chip per direct or a review would go on Facebook. Few minutes later we were told chips were coming. We had finished our meals (or as much as appetite we had and could get ourselves to eat in fron if a very hungry boy) we started to loose faith and my son and I went up to the kitchen where the waitress was waiting for the chips. Was it guaranteed cooked in oil, not butter. The chef seemed very chaotic. An apology to my son was too much. A not convinced "sorry i made a mistake, im busy" came from other side of kitchen. I told him it was not one mistake. "Oh yeah, maybe 2, 3 or more" was his response. I told him he has no respect or understanding about food allergies. If my son would have cut the second lasagne himself he would not have recognized the cheese and ate it!! You are as s chef playing with lives!" I told the waitress my faith in the chips was gone, and she fully understood. I told her i would not pay anything and would go to maccas to get chips, which are guaranteed gluten free. The waitress was just lovely. It was not her fault at all. I will be in touch with management after the weekend. Plates for people with food allergies should have to be checked with extra care. So we ended up getting two large chips from maccas for my by then starving son and pavlova desert from Coles!. What should have been a special night out to celebrate a special occasion was ruined by a careless chef. I had read very mixed reviews about this place on Facebook Eating out in Tassie site. But was keen to give it a go. Maybe im willing to do so again when there is better care for allergies and an other chef. Very disappointing

  Food was lovely and reasonably priced, service was excellent. Being a family with 3 small children can make it hard to enjoy a meal at a restaurant, but the staff could not have been more accommodating to our needs. Lovely restaurant
