My daughter had a grilled cheese and mashed potatoes. They brought her bread when the biscuits came around. Good service too!

This restaurant was lovely! The waitress was amazing, and the food was really good. I originally was using a regular menu because the food items have “GF” printed next to them. But, when I asked if the soul of the day was GF, the waitress asked if I wanted to see the gluten free menu. That menu had more options including a whole page for vegan and vegetarian options. I don’t know if those are gluten free though. The toast was delicious, and I ordered the 5 cheese pasta. It was sooo good. I highly recommend. Best part? I didn’t get sick. 10/10

We were very impressed with the separate gluten free menu which included buns, pasta, jambalaya, fish, steak. They had complimentary gluten free bread option in place of biscuit. We loved the five cheese pasta, whitefish and jambalaya. Very tasty!! Waiter was very attentive to gluten-free, modifying salads and spitting dishes.

Stopped here today, it was a great experience. We walked in and first thing they asked if there were any allergies such as gluten free or if we needed a vegetarian or vegan menu. While the GF menu was not large it was adequate. I had the 5 cheese rotini, it was very tasty. The waitress we had was fantastic, very attentive, helpful and concerned.

Waitress was nice and welcoming. However food quality sub par. First and foremost the manager came out w fresh buns ready to toss one on my plate without asking if I’d like one or asking if I’m able to eat one- they were not gluten free. Waitress brought out one slice of burnt gf toast while I waited for my entree. I ordered the gf Mediterranean pasta w chicken. When it came out, it was dull in color, noodles over cooked and shredded - you could tell just thrown in the bowl. It was supposed to have peppers of which there were few. Chicken dry and overcooked. Flavor absent and not worth the price. In fact my worst meal I’ve ever eaten gluten free. Clearly there is no concern that those of us reduced to minimal options means minimal care in what’s offered. I will never return and never recommend it. My bf had 5 cheese w chicken penne, not gf, and it looked like cheese soup dumped over noodles- he said hardly any flavor. Very disappointing as we were traveling and like anyone these days money wed prefer to pay toward quality rather then garbage on a plate. I’ll refer all celiacs to the local Julianne Tomatoes in Petoskey who not only took my celiac to heart but personally assured me they care… the sandwich’s there were top notch.

Gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian menu. Very nice to see this. Ordered the salmon entree and while the meal was good the salmon lacked seasoning and flavor. Cooked to perfection though so that was good. Provided gluten free toasted bread which was good.

I ate here once on a road trip. It is home to the best gluten free bun on the planet. I wish I had asked what brand it was.

Shared fryer so opt for a side salad. Overall very good.

They have a separate gluten free menu. It is lumped in with Vegan and Vegetarian, but there is a gluten free only section! There is no dedicated fryer, so there is cross contamination with gluten.

We ordered stuffed mushrooms, gumbo, shellfish chowder, broiled whitefish, jambalaya, and pineapple coconut Crème brûlée. It was all delicious! We went on 6/23/23 around 6-7pm and our server Jennica was absolutely wonderful. Very knowledgeable about differences between gluten intolerance and celiac’s without us needing to explain anything. As an added bonus she was a very attentive waitress as well! They flag food as celiac’s when they input the orders and they tell the kitchen. When orders are brought to the table they vocalize that it was made gluten free. Felt very comfortable here and had a great variety of options. 10/10 will come back here when in Petoskey again.

We had a wonderful time here on St Patty’s Day. Great gluten free options!

They bring out gluten free bread for you. And then there is a separate GF menu.

I had the jamabalaya without shrimp. It was delicious with a little kick.

I believe they have dessert too but I was unable to have dairy or egg so I skipped.

Great spot for family dining!

We love the food and ambiance here, and that’s saying a lot because I have 3 very picky eaters. This time our waitress was a bit short with us, I didn’t really care for that. But the gluten free hummus was great and so was the French onion soup. They also have gluten free noodles.

Asked at the door if we had any dietary restrictions and they gave us a separate menu that listed all their GF options! Felt very good about that. Their options were a little limited and did not include the burger (even though they said they had GF buns?) but did have steak, salad, and GF pasta. They did deliver glutenous biscuits to the table which wasnt great.

It seems like they’re diligent about cross contamination. I called and asked what they do and they were really awesome about it.

I got the three cheese pasta with gluten free noodles and shrimp. The taste wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t great. My sister liked her gluten free sandwich, but it was definitely not the best gluten free food I’ve had!

Eh. Had a salad and my kids had the five cheese fettuccine. No one was happy (even my non-gf family) and it was pretty expensive. Didn’t get sick yet, but not feeling 100% so I think it’s on the way.

The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. We had good choices and not so good. The seafood chowder was great, the chicken gumbo was incredibly salty. My husband had salmon which he said was very good. He orders gf so we can share. I ordered the chicken marsala and didn't care for it. The sauce was very strong. The mashed potatoes and veggies were typical. It is a nice restaurant and maybe a different choice would have been better.
