I booked a table also noting on the booking the GF requirements. When we ordered 2 burgers we were told that they had no GF buns. As we had a theatre booking later that night we went ahead with the order having bun-less burgers. What arrived can only be described as pathetic. No effort had been made to elevate this offering rather hide it between two small little gem leaves of lettuce. Honestly worst plate of food I’ve had in a restaurant. We spoke to the manager who was unaware they had no GF bread and offered a dessert of vegan icecream, having just ordered burgers we are not vegan ! A bit if education required for chef and management on what coeliac disease actually is. I fear the chips were cooked in the normal frier as my daughter later had mild symptoms of having eaten gluten. \nWe were offered 10% off our meal and free drinks but that still worked out at £15 each for an awful meal.","rating":{"food":1,"service":4,"ambience":2,"value":1,"noise":"MODERATE","overall":1,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":5,"nickname":"Carol","metro":{"metroId":3218,"displayName":"Inverness","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"C","isVip":null,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"PLUM","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":null,"submittedDateTime":"2025-05-07T07:06:52Z","dinedDateTime":"2025-05-06T17:30:00+01:00","type":"OPENTABLEVERIFIED","fromPreviousConcept":false,"highlight":null,"photos":[{"photoId":"77404781","type":"Dff","photoMetaData":{"title":null,"source":"Diner","creator":"OpenTable","timestamp":"2025-05-07T07:05:15Z","photoBySize":{"small":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/small/1/77404781.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"medium":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/medium/1/77404781.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"xlarge":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/xlarge/1/77404781.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"wideMedium":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/wide-medium/1/77404781.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"wideLarge":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/wide-large/1/77404781.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"__typename":"PhotoSizes"},"__typename":"PhotoMetadata"},"caption":"Not even a bit of tomato or cucumber to elevate this embarrassing burger.
