Good food, and the waiter / kitchen was good about cross contamination. They let me know which things I was able to order, and I didn’t have a reaction!

It was fun atmosphere and waiter aware of cross contamination. Fair amount of choices for gluten and dairy free. And didn’t get sick!

I’ve dined here a few times and always felt safe. The waiters fully mark up the menu, and the chefs are trained to check every ordered dish against what allergies are marked for the guest. When food arrives at the table they always say “safe for allergy”

Waitress marked off the gf options for me! Not too many options but I was reassured that they have very strict allergy policies. The cookie dough dessert is gluten free!

The waiter's knowledge of the menu and how each item was prepared gave me confidence in the food's safety. Their gluten free menu designates whether something does not contain gluten or is completely safe from cross contamination. They did not have flags, but all GF food came out announced gluten free by servers.

This was hands down the best meal I've had since removing gluten from my diet. Instead of modified menu items that were missing some of the chefs vision, the GF items were designed to be GF and had all the inventive creativity that any other menu would have. It felt like eating a meal off a super nice tasting menu from the "before time"

Bartender very helpful. Brought out a menu that highlighted what was Celiac safe. Confirmed Celiac vs. preference. Entered Celiac into system (came up on bill). Pan seared to avoid cross contamination. Got the cucumber salad, pork, fish and blt lettuce wraps. Runner confirmed each dish was celiac safe. Multiple cider options

Limited GF choices on the menu but nice flavors for those dishes. Server and staff were very educated on celiac needs, even when ordering drinks.

One of my favorite places to eat! The staff is very knowledgeable about celiac, and made me feel very safe about eating there. They even have gf options for brunch! You need to ask them what their gf options are because the menu changes- delicious food, friendly knowledgeable service, great atmosphere!

Delicious food and great service. When I asked for a gluten free menu, they didn't have one printed, but our server brought out a menu that the chef had made notes on. She asked me if I was celiac and if I wanted my food prepared by pan-frying instead of on the flat-top. I said yes, and it probably made our food come out a little slower, but it was worth it. When the various dishes were brought out, they made sure to say what was celiac-safe and what wasn't. They can't guarantee no cross-contamination, but they did seem to take several steps to do their best to accommodate.
