Waitress was knowledgeable, and knew exactly which items could be made gluten-free or were already so. Mussels were delicious. Did not get sick.

The GF calamari absolutely delicious. Burgers good but have had better elsewhere. Plus the buns were mostly for show. For the price point. I would come back for calamari and a drink that’s about all. Also service was well lacking.

1/2 chevre fig salad - it was so big, I thought it was full sized!  Don't include the goat cheese coated in crumbs and fried. Substitute fresh goat cheese. The light and varied flavors and textures made this an extra yummy salad

So first off I’m so glad they have so many gluten free options including rice battered calamari! However the burgers were sub par and so was the service. Overall I wouldn’t come back except for the calamari. 50 / 50 recommendation..

I mentioned i was gluten free at the very beginning. Was told the fried calimari was cooked in rice flour so we tried that! And basically all burgers can be modified gluten free and they have a gf bun. I got rhe local burger with gluten free bun and the potatoes cooked in duck fat. Had a good experience and no reaction

This was a great experience and they have some truly unique burgers. Of note, if you check out their website it connects to an allergen guide. While helpful, it’s a little outdated. According to the allergen guide the short rib nachos are gluten free and we were looking forward to ordering them. Disappointed to find out they aren’t, but glad that our server was knowledgeable and even double checked when I mentioned what it said on the website.

I can not have gluten, dairy or soy. (Soy is the worst when eating out). I was able to have shrimp tacos. Delicious. They brought out potatoes but I didn’t eat them. The rest of my group had great meals.

I have gluten and dairy allergy and they still had quite a few options for me. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. Everyone in my group with or without allergies thought it was delicious!

Very thorough explanation of the food preparation. Manager sat with me and went over every menu item. Very tasty and a higher standard of flavors and textures. Delicious! No dedicated fryer, but manager advised on substitutions and alternative prep in a fresh pan. Servers and chef came out with gloves hands. Wow!

This was a unique and nice restaurant. We each ordered something different off the menu and loved it. The server had no knowledge about gluten free safety or menu options but did ask the kitchen every one of my questions. She was very nice and accommodating. I did not get sick after eating here so win win!!! That’s rare for me. They do not have a separate fryer so I opted for the fish tacos.

Went here for a celebration dinner. Called ahead and the people who answered our calls were knowledgeable and didn't hesitate when we asked about gfdf options. No dedicated fryer for french fries, but they pan fried small potatoes for us. We had to modify one plate quite a bit and the waitress was on point. Just started providing (delicious) gluten free buns. We got one of the mussel appetizers, a seafood burger, a BBB burger, GF Italian job and turkey club. They were brought out by two employees wearing gloves, unlike other tables where the waiter/ess carried them all. Each were good, the mussels and seafood burger were the stars of the meal. I got a fig salad and the waitress asked the kitchen not to deep fry the goat cheese for me. Really glad we found this place. It was $100 for everything, so definitely a once and while treat. Our waitress was so laid back, but attentive, it was wonderful.

The food is so delicious. The don’t have gf buns but you can ask for no bun. Honestly the burgers are so big and amazing I don’t even really miss the bun. When I called I was told the fries aren’t safe but the duck fat fingerling potatoes are and they are 🤤🤤🤤🤤

I went because nothing else on the map was even open. Probably due to Covid! They do not have a dedicated fryer, but I was able to get a salad or steak. I opted for the steak. Even it was bristly not their fault everything tasted good.
