Totally incredible. Both my mom and I have celiac. No issues whatsoever and the server even made sure he got me an espresso cup that wasn’t near where the bread is made. He also even reserved the last GF dessert for us since it was running low / Incase we wanted it later

Best meal I’ve had in a long , long time

I’m not celiac but avoid gluten due to an autoimmune disease. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very knowledgeable about gluten allergies. The majority of their menu is naturally GF. We had the oysters and sautéed calamari for starter which were both great! We ordered the roasted pork, halibut, beans, and cauliflower for dinner, all of which were fantastic. We also ordered the pear custard and chocolate torte for dessert and broth one disappointed. I would highly recommend this place to anyone with a gluten allergy.

Not safe for celiacs. Our waitress seemed confident and knowledgeable about GF, and it was even announced when the food was delivered (presumably by a manager). We ordered the mussels, grilled octopus, steak, and monkfish. The food tasted great, however my celiac wife was terribly sick by the end of dinner. A lousy way to start our vacation.

This place was so delicious and lots of GF options. I highly recommend (if in season) the cod cheeks, garlic mash potatoes, mussels, oysters and the amazing pork loin.

My husband and I enjoyed our 25Th wedding anniversary and it was fabulous. The staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating. The best f2f meal I've had in a very long time. You must try it, but there is a waiting list to get in

When I asked the hostesses about food allergies, one walked away, and the other instructed me that I would have to wait 30 minutes to be seated, and then ask wait staff regarding allergies. When I asked to speak with a manager, I was told no one was available to speak with me. Unfortunately, I did not wish to wait over a half hour on a Monday night, to gamble on whether or not I would be able to eat safely. Due to the unfriendly staff, we decided to find another restaurant.

I've eaten here twice in the last 8 months. Both times were absolutely delicious. The service, environment and food is fantastic! Just be very clear with waitperson about dietary restrictions, they are very good about it. Strongly recommend making a reservation.

Staff is very knowledgable about gluten and kitchen is conscientious. I've eaten there many times without an issue and the food is generally exceptional. Don't expect GF bread or pasta, but many menu items are already GF or can be modified to be GF. You'll have to take care and discuss options with your server, but it's worth it.
