Review
The host came running out of the kitchen to stop me from eating my meal — lobster with garlic noodles. He apologized profusely about the mix up. He comped the entree, fixed the mistake quickly, and added free desert. I also want to applaud this restaurant for having gluten free specials. Often, a chef comes up with something seasonal, gf eaters cannot have the dish or a version of the dish.
Overall, this is a lovely place to eat. I’ve never had a problem. After the lengths that the staff went to to stop me from eating, I feel confident in the staff and kitchen knowledge.

Definitely not safe for celiacs. 2/3 dishes we ordered contained gluten according to my Nima Sensor, despite the GF designation on the menu and waiter assuring me they were GF.

Waiter was good and knew what was safe, the actual staff that brought out the food was not. My main entree and dessert both needed a redo due to cross contamination issues.

Staff was knowledgeable about ingredients. Menu was clearly marked of what dishes contained gluten. The food was excellent. The fried rice was addictive.

Moderately upscale restaurant with Well versed staff and many menu items labeled G (containing Gluten). Our waiter was very knowledgeable about dishes which were safe and asked immediately if we were Celiac. Extremely flavorful dishes with many options to choose from. Great experience.
