I’ve been here twice and never got sick as a severe celiac. The chef is from Chicago and is a top notch expert in allergies. They have gf bread in the back. Several options could be made gf. The menu wasn’t labeled but the waiters were highly knowledgeable!!! The chef even has separate cook wear for allergies, including shellfish and dairy too! I highly recommend! I wanted to update my review. They no longer have a gluten free fryer.

Did a walk-in on Saturday and didn’t know you needed a reservation. Made a reservation for Wednesday after asking to look at menu and ask questions about gluten free options. The chef and owner asked if I was celiac. I said yes! I was informed there would be gluten-free options available for our Wednesday reservation. Specifically the lobster roll. Show up Wednesday, and no gluten free bread. Okay, I’m kinda bummed because I asked and requested a gluten-free meal that would be prepared celiac safe, and he seemed knowledgeable about it on Saturday. Waitress was nice. She pointed out items on menu that I could get. There weren’t many. It was a disappointment. The food was just okay.

Family friendly, great food, hasn’t made me sick once! Delicious food and, if you let your server know of food allergies, they can inform you what is safe and what is not. The chef is very aware of food issues as his wife has allergies as well. His food is amazing and delicious and a lot of it is gluten free and regularly offered. The menu changes frequently as it is farm to table, but I haven’t had anything I didn’t like from this place.

First let me say that the cuisine is delicious. This is a "Farm to Table" concept so the menu is not extensive. A previous review stated that they have a dedicated fryer, they DO NOT, which eliminates a number of menu items including main dishes. They do indeed take Celiac disease/gluten intolerances seriously but the first time we were there one gal said the pot de creme was not gf (which made no sense to me), the second time another staff member said it absolutely is gf! Did I feel safe eating here? Yes, but be prepared for just a handful of options.
