Review


Best meal I've ever had with amazing dining experience. A separate allergy sensitive menu is available that clearly lists allergens for each dish - it lists what can allergens can be omitted from a dish (in green = go) and what allergens are inherent to the dish (in red = stop!). We sat at the bar and watched the kitchen, so I was able to observe how careful the line was in their prep. Also, the fryer was fresh when I was there, and our amazing server confirmed with the chef it was safe for GF. The staff was incredibly fun and kind, and announced each dish was GF when they brought it out from the kitchen. I also heard them able to accommodate a table of vegan diners while there. I recommend reservations, although a few walk-up spots are available! Biggest surprise - foie gras parfait! Delicious paired with a bourbon!
