Review


I have mixed reviews about my dining experience here. I knew that they had a dedicated fryer, so the tater tots were good, but that was the only thing about my meal that I enjoyed. I asked the waiter for a GF menu. He said they didn't have one but almost everything could be made gf. However, when I started asking questions about different dishes, I got a couple of "I'm pretty sure that one is ok" responses. I ordered the Steak Frites and after the runner brought my plate, someone else brought some sort of sauce for the steak. I asked her if it was GF and she said yes, but then our server stopped by and I asked again and he wasn't sure, so he checked with the kitchen and it turned out that it was not GF, even though my order was marked GF/DF. I'm glad that he checked, but it would be helpful if their menu let you know what was safe and what to avoid. Besides this near miss with the sauce, the steak was a huge disappointment. It was unseasoned, had no flavor, and had a mealy texture. I probably won't go back here, unless its just for drinks and tots.
