When introducing herself, the waitress asked if there were any allergies. I said I had a severe gluten allergy and immediately she asked if it was celiac. She then brought over a gluten free menu and had crossed out items that were not celiac safe due to cross contamination. There were a few dishes where the sauce contained gluten so that came out separately. Had so much food and it was all incredible. It was served tapas style so got to try many things. Didn’t get sick. Would highly recommend

Amazing meal. Outstanding. They brought out a special gluten free menu for me and then told me which items on their regular meal could also be made gf. The server was really knowledgeable about gf.

Went here for a work event with a pre-set menu. The waiter was very knowledgeable and brought me gluten free variations for each dish and even swapped in an alternative for a couple dishes that couldn’t be made gluten free.

The food was good, but a lot. It was the first time we had gone there, and the waiter kept saying we need to order more, even though we really didn’t. The GF menu was weird. Not only we’re there things that weren’t safe for celiac, there were things that actually had gluten soy sauce in them. This meant they weren’t GF. It confused me a lot.

I walked in knowing they had a gluten free menu, but was shocked to find almost every item on the regular menu was available. The food, service, and atmosphere were all phenomenal. I couldn't say more great things. Ask for Hannah if you ever drop by, she has an in depth knowledge of the menu and understands anyone with celiac.

The staff was really great about trying to make sure I didn't get sick. Unfortunately, I did feel slightly ill after eating here. In their defense, I did eat raw meat because it sounded like a good idea at the time. Something to consider. On a side note, it was 91$ per person. Super expensive!

Had a very pleasant experience. The staff is very knowledgable and friendly. I didn't have any contamination issues. The GF menu is not 100% completely Celiac friendly so you have to be specific about your allergy.

The food is good. But this place is not celiac friendly. I got sick from my main dish and it was apparently cooked on the grill. I made sure to tell them it was a very very serious allergy as I am extremely sensitive even for a celiac. Fish is so easy to cook in a pan... The fact they cooked it on a grill even though I said cross contamination was a big problem is not acceptable. If you are gluten free though or celiac but not incredibly sensitive to cross contamination they do have a gluten free menu and it is rather good.

Might be fine if you are just gluten free, but l am also seed and nut free. They are very knowledgeable, but I just felt like they cobbled my meal together. Scallop dish was good but too salty. Beef tounge dish was overcooked, dry and chewy with soggy chips making up most of the dish. I was with many people and could not try anything else because everything had some kind of nut in it. A very expensive meal to be so disappointed. ...

If you're sensitive to cross-contamination, the options are a little bit limited, but what I was able to have was very good. Really cool place, but get there early because it's a very popular place.
