I love this place! $50 all you can eat dinner. Everything was delicious and unique. They have allergen menu on website but servers also know about cross contamination.

Korey was amazing and the unlimited brunch was perfect. He sat down at the start and reviewed what I could have, then ordered special options for me so I could enjoy with my party. Will be back!

I have eaten here several times without issue. It is not a gluten free kitchen so make sure to tell your server you are celiac but they take allergies very seriously. Most of the menu is available with a gluten free option. Occasionally, the chef will come out too to reassure you about the precautions they will take. It looks like one reviewer felt that they were exposed which is unfortunate but I think that it is unusual for that to happen (but still not impossible). Overall, I feel very comfortable going here again

Ate here last night without an issue. Server was knowledgeable including an understanding of CC, menu is clearly marked, and there are many options. Everything is small plate style and super savory! I had the salmon, grilled shrimp, brussel sprouts, and stuffed pepper. I will definitely go back!

Gluten free menu but server said items on the GF were not truly GF which concerned me. I ordered off the GF menu and they confirmed everything was GF but... started getting sick within a few hours of eating here. Had the Brussels sprouts, shrimp skewers, chicken skewers, and beef/lamb slider no bun.

They have a detailed allergen menu which is nice. But most of the items originally have bread/buns (sandwiches/sliders), in which case you would get the item without bread. To me that was dissapointing. The food was good. Ate an omelette, and they switched the two sides, that my friend said were really good, for a bland salad. I guess I just expected more since the other reviews were so positive, so take that into consideration when reading mine.

The allergen menu clearly notes which items are gluten free and which items need modification to be gluten free. My waitress was very knowledgeable about cross contamination and recommended some awesome dishes. The sour cabbage is not to be missed.
