No gluten free menu, but the hostess created one by noting every dish by hand on the menu that was or could be modified. All the sides were gluten free amd many of the dinners could be made so. Very friendly and helpful staff.

NOT A DEDICATED GLUTEN FREE KITCHEN. This changed to a pop-up kitchen for anyone to use the space in January 2024. They have gf options, but they risk cross contamination with other things.

Fantastic! The waiter marked up my menu (and there were lots of choices!) and truly everything was delicious. A perfect evening. Highly recommend.

I ran in here quickly when I was with friends who were eating next door at Grand Trunk. I had zero I could have there even if the menu offered Gluten free buns. The waiter said, “oh you have celiac? I would get nothing here.”

So I walked next door and asked if they had any options for someone with celiac and who also couldn’t have dairy or eggs. The host actually walked me through everything I could have.

And I ordered a couple small plates and it was so delicious! I will be back.

Excellent service and outstanding food. Great location in downtown Detroit. They don’t have a GF menu, but the servers are very helpful and they have many GF options.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place! It is by my work so I figured I would give it a go - they don’t have the gluten items marked on the menu nor do they have an allergy menu BUT they took a menu to the kitchen and had the kitchen right all over the menu. The kitchen marked what was gluten free and what could be made safe from cross contact. I was super happy with the time and effort they took to do this for me and ensure that everything was safe for me. The food was delicious as well!!
