I love restaurants that have separate menus or labeled menus so they was a top place to try while visiting Milwaukee. The burger was very good, and I had one of the best tomato bisques I’ve had in a long time. Sadly I felt horribly glutened and bloated all day long. I am not a sensitive celiac so I assume I was given the wrong bun and it wasn’t just cross contamination.

They do have a gluten-free menu. Ordered a gluten-free omelette off the menu. Explained that I want no bread and need gluten free. My food was brought out with bread asked if it was gluten-free she said let me check. Came back with same omelette with out the bread said they just took it off. Explain that I need it remade. Came out in like 2 minutes again. I do not feel like there was enough time to remake this.

Typically very great, although I’ve been accidentally given a non-gluten free bun with my burger here more than once, so you just have to stay vigilant. They offered to swap the bun for me , and I had to tell them I needed a new burger completely, which was an uncomfortable conversation. However, their gluten-free menu is pretty tasty, I just go for things which are gf as the standard (rather than relying on the substitute).

They served me the wrong burger and bun. Took a few bites and my friend noticed our buns were the same. Staff apologized but it was too late. They made me another burger that I didn’t ask for...why would I trust you now?! I don’t think they understand the allergy issue and the staff needs to be better trained.

Waiter was very helpful, separate GF menu...including a Bloody Mary with a Stella Cidre chaser!

4 stars instead of 5 simply because we watched the bartender make the Bloody Mary with the house mix, had the waiter not been standing there to correct her, I would’ve been served the non GF version.

Delicious food! Also they had a GF amber ale from Belgium, which is really hard to find. Seem to know what they're doing vis a vis gluten/celiac. Friendly staff, charming interior. 5 stars!

Everything we are there was devoured! Had 3 GF options and 3 Regular menu items. Took a bit of time to get our food (12:30 pm during a Packer Game on Sunday) but worth the wait. Nice GF menu with lots of different options. If you go on Sunday the GF menu selection is slightly more limited (no appetizers available and a few other items can be made during the "brunch" time frame. Service was good. Just remember, the fries are not GF.

The food is all delicious. I've had both gluten free and non gluten free items there before needing to eliminate it from my diet. A little disappointed that their potato items aren't gluten free, though.

Quinoa skillet was delicious. Other entrees for non gluten free patrons was also good. Will return. Prices are a little high for what you get though. The side of bacon was $4 for 3 pieces. Coffee is very strong.

The menu is there, just ask for it. Plenty of food options, and they almost always have a cider on tap along with a few gluten-free beer options
