My daughter ordered the roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The waiter understood my daughter was celiac and relayed that information to the kitchen. Out of an abundance of caution, the manager &/or chef recommended only eating the fries if the sensitivity isn’t severe because they couldn’t 100% guarantee no cross contamination of that menu item. We skipped the fries but everything else was safe and del ious - including dessert. I appreciated their coming back out to advise.

Asked if they shared pasta water, was told no, then found a big regular noodle half way through eating my meal. NOT SAFE for celiacs.

I was told by the manager that not having a dedicated fryer is still safe. So aparently he is a doctor and a restaurant manager. If you have Celiac like me, don't risk it. They do not know how to safely prep food. My girlfriend and I both got sick.

The mayo had breadcrumbs in it, and I'll probably be very sick fairly soon. Eat at your own risk.

I have recently been diagnosed with wheat and gluten intolerance. This was one of my first meals out at restaurant. I was very happy to see so many choices on the Gluten Free Menu. Plus, I enjoyed sharing the Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake with my husband. Gotta love Gluten Free Cheesecake!

I let the server know I was gluten free - coeliac multiple times so she would get my order right and I confirmed with her again before my meals came out and she still gave me the gluten cheesecake instead of the gluten free one

I went here and ordered a gluten free burger and bun. The food came with a gluten bun. I sent it back as I noticed it wasn’t gluten free. I woke up sick as a dog for two days. If you’re sensitive don’t eat here. Even after the gluten free bun change I still got sick.

Was not bad but experience varies by server. We came twice as staying nearby... only on the 2nd visit did our server correct the misinformation from the first server.

There is NO dedicated fryer... it is shared oil. A lot of the staff are unclear of the difference
