Squires Loft South Yarra
Squires Loft markets itself heavily as a gluten-free destination: nearly every menu item is stated to meet gluten-free standards, sauces and baste are proprietary and gluten-free, and steaks are described as grilled on a 'dedicated surface to avoid gluten contamination'. The South Yarra location page references a dietician-reviewed allergen menu (via Foodini link). However, there is no independent third-party accreditation (e.g. Coeliac Australia), no explicit claim of a 100% dedicated gluten-free kitchen, and no corroborating diner accounts. The 'dedicated surface' claim suggests a dedicated prep/grill surface but not a fully separated kitchen, placing this at Tier D (marked menu, shared wider kitchen environment) rather than C, as there is no clear evidence of a fully dedicated fryer or prep area beyond the grill surface.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.
The South Yarra location page states the venue 'accommodates all dietary preferences, restrictions, and requirements' and references a dietician-reviewed allergen menu. However, the venue is a steak specialist and no specific vegetarian dishes or menu markings are mentioned in the sources. Accommodation appears to be available on request but evidence is thin.
Reminder
Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
