I’m confused about the high ratings. Yes, the food is tasty and people with Celiac can eat here, as my daughter and I did without getting sick. However, you must be willing to tolerate every employee looking down their nose at you the ENTIRE TIME. The hostess asked us three times if we were sure we wanted to eat here. The waiter barely gave us the time of day, and seemed exasperated at our questions about what we could or couldn’t eat. Service was horrible, and atmosphere wasn’t anything great. For $20+ for meat only (sides are an additional $8-$16), the prices are insane. Maybe if the atmosphere and service were amazing, I wouldn’t mind paying $28-$36 for a meal, but to pay this much for a tiny, crowded restaurant with snobby employees and lots of noise from the kitchen is just not my cup of tea. Not sure why all the rave reviews...

Celiac friendly?
