I chose Chipotle Adobo Beef Short Ribs with the gluten free option, although it was a was a bit disconcerting when one of the wait staff volunteered that the chef just leaves the sour cream out to make it gluten free. Advice was sought and correct information was that the pastry base was exchanged for a GF taco to make it gluten free! The meal was so tasty and full of fresh flavours - it was beautiful! The semi-open air environment is great also. Great variety of light meals as well as coffees, teas and full bar. What a great dining experience: recommended!

The ambiance was quite gloomy with dark and depressing colors of grey and black, but the beautiful painting of a bird added a nice touch. I ordered the Pumpkin and Chorizo salad with Feta and chickpeas, which tasted okay. The service was friendly, with a young lady bringing a cold bottle of water to my table with a warm smile. However, I was disappointed to find that I had no cutlery when my lunch arrived and had to ask for it. My Lemon Lime and bitters drink was not made properly, with the bitters being added last when it should have been first. Overall, the menu could use some improvement and I wasn't very impressed with my experience.

I found it to be decent value for money, priced at $12 for a bowl of calamari, one lemon wedge, and a dash of aioli. The calamari was cooked well and tender, but a bit chewy. I was surprised to receive a deconstructed dish, where I had to apply the lemon and pepper myself, making it a bit bland in my opinion. Adding a side of chips would have enhanced the dish. However, the service was good and I would return for another meal as I didn't have any major complaints on my first visit.

Everyone has a different taste- but we found it bitter. We would return for the food though !

At first glance, it might seem unconventional, but the setting accommodates everyone—from business professionals and tourists to hipsters and coffee enthusiasts—making it easy to unwind and enjoy some time. Whether you prefer a glass of excellent wine or a perfectly brewed espresso, Lightbox stands out as a real gem in Gladstone, especially thanks to the warm service from Alexa and Mica on this Sunday morning!

It was a generous and unexpected gesture that added to the experience. When I finally tasted the dish, I was blown away—perhaps it was the flavors or the spirit of camaraderie behind that act of kindness, or maybe it was a mix of both. I’m heading out of town in three days, but I’ll certainly return to try more dishes from their menu. #bananaGameStrong #selfless #FrenchToastOnPoint #definitelyTipping

I was disappointed to see the demise of the breakfast quesadilla and would love to see it reinstated on the breakfast menu. It is a drawcard not only to Lightbox, but the wider Gladstone region.
