Went for the gluten free and regular mixed menu. I ordered the gf chicken dinner. She said it usually comes with broccoli and a baked potato so I went with it. The chicken was as described juicy and tasted like it has some sort of marinade on it. It was really good. I only ate the inside of the baked potato because the outside was dry and hard. The broccoli had a cheese sauce on it that I didn't like so I tried to whip as much as I can off. Overall I thought my meal was good. I ordered the gf chocolate lava cake for dessert which was great. Chocolatey with a runny chocolate middle. I had no problems with my meal but my sister is vegan and she ordered a salad. She was constantly picking things out of her salad which weren't supposed to be in her salad. If you are celiac I wouldn't recommend this place as I witnessed they have cross contamination issues. I wouldn't come here if you are looking to satisfy everyone that isn't gf.

UPDATE: I've eaten here several times since my original review. The food has been inconsistent, but the reason for the drastic change in my review is that I ate there a couple of nights ago and I am just starting to feel better after being glutened. I normally work with one of their chefs but when he wasn't available I asked to speak with a Manager. I explained that I needed my food to be gluten free and I asked for my food to be brought out separately. The problem occurred because the waitress told me the Italian dressing was gluten free (which it wasn't). I did ask her to check to be sure before she gave it to me which she obviously did not do or she wouldn't have served it to me. Today I spoke to the Manager that was overseeing my meal and she told me the wait staff is not allergy trained which is obvious as I am not the first person to get sick here because the wait staff gave incorrect information due to poor or no training. It is so disheartening when you do everything right and still end up getting sick.

PRIOR REVIEW (from 2014) I've eaten there twice this summer and both times had the shrimp scampi with gluten free pasta. I do make it very clear to the server that I have to have gluten free with no cross contamination. I've had the salad with gluten free croutons and I got the chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert. The chef, David, is wonderful and both times he brought out my meal. The food has been excellent and I will definitely go back. Everyone I have gone with has been happy with their meals. My mother is still talking about how good her shrimp scampi was.

Family ate here, made it very clear we were gluten-free. We were told the bread we were served with our meal was gluten-free... It was not, which we discovered after eating . Be aware, that even with very clear communication with our server we were still mislead. Their staff needs much more training.

food is always delicious. this was my favorite restaurant before being diagnosed. They have a gluten free menu, however, I was sick for 2 days after eating here. I had their gluten free shrimp scampi, and I feel like maybe they cooked the pasta in the same water as regular pasta. As always after being "glutened", I felt it within 30 mins.

Nothing special. I ordered a salad they said the had gf croutons so I figured I'd try it. When the server brought out my salad he appogised for the wait saying he had to go find the croutons in the basement!!! As soon as I smelt them I knew they were wicked old and were molding. So that was disappointing.
