Overall Rating

Review


There aren’t that many options for brunch that are gluten free but the one I got was tasty. When I initially ordered I felt confident my server understood my requests and understood cross-contamination. But my food was brought out with several of the same dishes by a food runner and I was not reassured that it was gluten free and prepared with cross- contamination in mind so I asked the food runner to confirm with the chef. It caused some drama and arguing between the food runner and server but overall the chef remade my food, personally delivered it to me, and I did not have a reaction afterwards. I am glad I asked and I think this might just be a restaurant you really need to advocate for yourself but the chef seems to understand. They did take the cost of my food off the bill because I waited awhile which was nice!
