We were recommended this place and I was excited to try it based on their fresh ingredients and creative menu. I was a bit hesitant since I have gluten allergies and others have reported the restaurant to be not accommodating. I told the waitress that I had gluten allergies and she responded that the kitchen is shared and although they would clean the cooking surfaces, they could not guarantee zero cross contamination (common for most restaurants but they usually aren't that honest). I chose to take the risk and she pointed to a few items on the menu that she could confirm could be made gluten free. I had the honey thyme chicken which was cooked very well with crispy skin and a surprising flavor! The vegetables were a bit underdone for me but I was impressed by the creative flavors. While you would probably be able to find something to eat here if others in your party wanted to eat here, I wouldn't go out of your way to visit.

Definitely not a good place to be gf. Very few options and our waiter clearly didn’t understand what gluten was. I asked about getting mashed potatoes instead of fries with my entree and the waiter said “well they have cream in them, so I don’t think that would be gluten free”. I did end up finding something to eat, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend the restaurant to other gf people.

There is essentially a bakery inside, and management has told me point blank they would prefer I don’t eat there. Drinks are tasty!

I called recently and was told that given their use of flour in their bakery and kitchen, they cannot avoid cross-contamination. It’s a shame because it was a fun place to go to in the past before I had celiac disease.

Zero stars. Stay away if you are celiac or gluten free. Went to celebrate a friend’s bday and the staff was completely clueless.

This place is an absolute NO GO for gluten free. Two servers told me. Having said that, it's a wonderful and super fun place for a cocktail or pre-dinner glass of wine or whatever. The food looked amazing. The wine WAS great@

Horrible service. No gluten free menu and staff were basically like, “good luck, can’t make any promises.” Food is ok but overpriced.

The staff asked if anyone had any allergies when she first came over but did not go any further to pointing out what was gf on the menu (very disappointing). I got the steak which is naturally gf so I knew what was fine but was unsure what else was gf.
