Prior to going to the restaurant, we called to make sure there were policies in place to prevent cross contamination and that they used a separate pot and water to boil gluten free pasta. The manager assured us that they would be careful. When we ordered, we made sure to tell the server that our child had celiac and could not have gluten. When the food was brought, we asked again to make sure. As my daughter ate, she said she felt like the pasta had gluten, but we assured her it was fine. I wish we had trusted her instincts because she was severely sick the next day. I saw that there were positive reviews for this place and maybe this was a bad night, but we can no longer trust this place.

absolutely the worst experience ive ever had. the food not only came late but came with fries which are NOT gluten free because they are fried with flour-coated items. and the replacement food came late too with the inside of the burger being rather cold. and, despite not having any sort of bun on the burger, i still got contaminated and suffered the consequences. i do not recommend this place at all.

Many options available and the dishes are very tasty! I had the carbonara pasta dish, strawberry martini (made with Titos!), and the Godiva gf cheesecake. Very satisfying meal.

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
