Waitress was very knowledgeable of what items could be gluten free which was just about everything on the menu. She also double checked with the kitchen when I ordered just in case. Will be returning!

Absolutely loved this plate. The minute I said I was “gluten free,” our server went on a detailed list of how they could make almost anything GF for me. He was so knowledgeable. They made us a GF crab cake appetizer which was delicious, and I had the salmon and seafood entree with Meyer lemon sauce. They make most things from scratch and if anything is prepared in advance, our waiter went to find out if it was safe or not.

Do yourself a favor if you have celiac and avoid this restaurant. My husband I are away for the weekend and call here after all the amazing reviews they had. They told me over the phone they can make almost all dishes GF, we were so happy and made a reservation. Needless to say when we got here our server was not knowledgeable, she asked the kitchen they said “well we have GF penne or can do the shrimp with no shrimp”. I have never left a restaurant so abruptly. Our server was sweet & apologetic, however the misinformation and lack of understanding can make someone severely sick. I left basically in tears I was so upset.

Amazing experience ! I can’t recommend them more. Everyone was very educated about celiac, knew the menu well and made recommendations. Very accommodating and I felt very safe. The food was spectacular, drinks were great and service was outstanding. We aren’t from the area but I would add this to my list as a reason to return :)!

The waiter was very helpful and well informed about celiac disease. Although the menu definitely should be updated because the waiter informed us that the GF labeling are not correct anymore due to recipe changes, he however doubled checked everything with the chef about GF dishes. The place is very cozy and atmosphere was fun.

We really like it, although they do not have any type of gluten-free bread, they do have pasta. Their fish dishes and crab cakes are my absolute favorites.

I went there for my husband’s office Christmas party. They were made aware in advance of my celiac disease. The staff went over the menu choices with me and what was safe. I had grilled chicken with penne ala vodka. Very good. When everyone else was served cake for dessert, they sent out a special creme brûlée for me so I wasn’t excluded. It was my first time eating out since my diagnosis. I hope every place I go will be this accommodating.
