Waterfront Southgate

The venue's own menu marks many dishes with (GF) and states 'ALL RAW BAR ITEMS AVAILABLE IN GLUTEN FREE & DAIRY FREE'. However, the menu also carries a generic warning that dishes 'may contain nut, soy, wheat, seeds and other allergies' and advises diners to 'discuss with team member before making menu selection'. There is no evidence of a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, dedicated fryer, or Coeliac Australia accreditation. The venue is a mainstream seafood/steak restaurant with shared kitchen equipment, so cross-contamination risk is present.
