Fantastic place. Knowledgeable staff and great food. The menu is smallish, but most options are GF. We loved our meal here.

They are pretty good about GF offerings, the food is delicious and they make the best GF bread mini loaf ever.

Large portions and yummy food.

My daughter has celiac disease and we ate here and were very happy! They make GF loaves of bread that are hot out of the oven and incredible. They have a super friendly relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend.

Lots of supposedly “gluten free” options, but it’s a small kitchen and absolutely no precautions are taken to prevent cross-contamination. Fair warning.

This restaurant was amazing! They serve gluten free bread made fresh on site on a warm cutting board. It was hard to tell that it was even gluten free! I wanted to buy another loaf. The chicken mole was delicious and the dark chocolate gluten free creme pie was also delicious! My sister and I have celiac and she is very sensitive, but neither of us felt sick.
