Absolutely wonderful. Safe and sound delicious. This is upscale food. Every staff person knew what I was asking about when checking in separate pans, toasted, etc. the server asked if it was for celiac.

Review
Pretty good, the pork belly was easily the star (so good!) gluten free toast was a full sized and good. Hollandaise is gluten free and the eggs Benedict is pretty good, the ham is thin so I just wish it was thicker or more of it. The crepes are tasty, as with anything buckwheat if it gets overcooked it gets fairly earthy tasting but that was only on a few of the edges. Server was very attentive and helpful.

I ordered the Pork Belly stuffed with Chorizo Sausage on Truffle Polenta with Rosemary Sauce and added an egg. I didn’t ask about cross contamination or anything but I didn’t get sick or anything. Food was great.

Review
I went for brunch this morning. They have GF options marked, and the menu notes, most dishes can be made gluten free by omitting the side of bread, etc.
I had an egg omelet with a salad and side of fruit. It was delicious!
I had no symptoms of CC and would have by now.
I will definitely go back.

Review
Came here for breakfast...they have a decent selection of gluten free items on the breakfast menu. I got a side of the organic buckwheat pancakes, 2 eggs Your Way ( minus the croissant ) and bacon. The food was good and the server was knowledgeable about gluten. No problems afterwards but I only have a gluten sensitivity not celiac.

Gluten free items are indicated on the menu. They have buckwheat batter so can make gluten free pancakes and crepes.
