A few options on the menu were naturally gluten free, while others had gluten free substitutes (buns, crusts, pastas). They use a shared fryer so anything fried I would not eat. I had the caprese appetizer and small salad and they were good, but not great. Not a lot of options, but what they did have tasted good and I did not feel sick.

I was told that this restaurant offers gluten free buns and pasta. They know nothing about celiac or gluten free food here. I told the waitress about my restrictions and ordered a gluten free burger on a gluten free bun. Food looked great! I took the first bite of my burger and the waitress came by to say they gave me a regular bun, but they would remake my burger. Thanks, but the damage is done. I spoke to the manager, who didn't care, and the waitress, who didn't seem to know anything about food allergies. Learn from my mistake and avoid this place like the plague.

No GF menu BUT they are very knowledgeable and accommodating. GF Buns/Rolls/Pasta. I was told most of the menu can be made GF with the exception of the fried food. Food and Service were excellent.

Eaten here a few times, never been sick. Usually get the baked scallops. Skip the pizza-it's Against The Grain straight from the freezer at your local grocery store.

I was told there were many GF options and staff was trained appropriately. Stopped going here when it became apparent they did not care at all about keeping people with Celiac safe. NOT GF!!

We reviewed the menu before we went to make sure there were gluten free options for my wife who has Celiac. There seemed to be good options. When we got there the waitress informed us that many of the gluten free options were no longer gluten free because of a menu update. My wife asked for pan seared scallops and she told us the only options were baked or fried. The rest of us ordered while my wife looked for a few minutes and settled upon a gluten free pizza. The other three of us got our food and finished and the waitress said "one more minute" for the pizza so my wife told her to box it, 5+ minutes later she came out and said another waitress had accidentally taken it. The owner came out and gave a half-ass apology and asked what he could do, but didn't seem sorry at all, he offered the pizza on the house but we had already waited long enough. Otherwise the rest of the food, service, and attitude was mediocre which is too bad because it's beautiful and you can tell they are trying to rival places like The Sole and 111...miserable fail. It's not just about food it's about making people feel at home, not like they've inconvenienced you.
