We picked this place because it was rated well for celiac sensitivity, and our ten year old was recently diagnosed. The restaurant certainly has a full gluten free menu, which is great. And the food was good. However there was chaos over the reservation (with, I think, our table being given last minute to some local regulars so we had to wait 30 minutes after our reservation for another table). The result of two larger tables ordering around the same time in a small restaurant on a busy night seemed to cause the wait staff to be frenzied. We repeated several times to the wait staff that our daughter was gluten free and the food looked gluten free (I.e bread rolls looked different from regular rolls). But I heavily suspect that there may have been cross contamination in the chaos as our daughter exhibited symptoms and the other places we ate that weekend were strictly gluten free. I'm not saying to unequivocally avoid this place because I'm not 100% sure about the cross contamination but maybe think twice about going during busy vacation weeks as the chaos could be problematic (and was certainly an issue with the reservation and the loudness there).
