Immediately offered a GF menu! The chicken I had was great and the side salad even came with GF croutons!

As soon as you walk in and as for a table, they ask if you want a gluten free menu! Was nice to not have to ask like I always do. I had the pasta and the veggie burger ordered from the gluten free menu. The bun fell apart quickly but the pasta texture was perfect! They also brought gluten free rolls for the table. I felt that they took allergies seriously and I would go there again.

Great place for gluten free. Always had a second person being out the gluten free meals as they should. Awesome food and great gluten free rolls that are free.

Reliably gluten free. They have a diverse GF menu and knowledgeable servers. That said, the food here is not great. I don’t know if it’s just the GF food or all the food…? Bland burgers, the fries are not that good, my salmon was over cooked and dry (and it takes a lot to overcook and dry out salmon.) BUT I love and appreciate that they have GF bread to bring to the table and will bring you olive oil or butter for it. And that’s why I come back. And the wings and cocktails are good, too. So hooray for not getting sick and thanks for the GF bread.

I had a turkey club on a gf roll. No dedicated fryer. Gf rolls were brought our before the meal when the bread tray came out. Server was knowledgeable, and the meal was brought out and confirmed as gf when they gave it to me.

I have eaten here before in the restaurant and had a good experience. The servers were knowledgeable and things came out fine.

DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY/TAKE AWAY!! I had a craving so I ordered online and picked items marked gluten sensitive and made a note. The food tasted good but I was sick about 45 mins later with a gluten reaction.

Ask for Mason if you have Celiac's, he is a server whose sister has it. He has taken fantastic care of me the last half dozen times we have been here. He remember my three orders that I flip between (Ahi tuna salad, ask for the orange sesame dressing with it, impossible caprese burger and the squash bolignese.) Yummy food, good care, great place.

I’ve gotten sick here so many times I just stopped coming. The manager kept apologizing and giving me free meals to make up for it, but my health just isn’t worth it.

It may be OK to eat in, but my experience was with to go orders, and they consistently packed my food so it would be in the same bag as other, gluteny food (for my family), often under their food. This despite me always telling them to pack my items in a separate bag. Take-out is just too complicated for this restaurant, which in my time eating there never once explained packing rules to their host staff, and who ignored my pleas to protect the food I’d ordered from cross-contamination in the bag.

The kitchen also made errors, like undercooking food (that I had to finish cooking at home).

I live a half mile away, but after a year of fighting with them, I just can’t eat here anymore.

This has been a mainstay for us until today. We had an awful experience here. They refused to accommodate our needs, as they only had a set brunch menu. Not only did they not accommodate us, they were rude and had little to no understanding of our gluten free needs. Sad to cross this off our go to list.

Great experience here. Staff was super knowledgeable and asked about allergies right after seating us. Waitress got me a gluten free menu after I told them about being Celiac. Waitress also knew I couldn't have fries because of cross contamination. I got the mustard crusted BLT. It was definitely safe and gluten free. Tasted fine, not amazing. Green beans as a side were so good though. The menu had a ton of other options. Everything is pretty pricey, but it was nice to know I could eat my meal safely! Would definitely go back and try something else.

I always have a great experience here they are always on top of it with allergies asking upon everyone ordering. As soon as I made them aware of my allergy they brought AMAZING GF bread rolls with separate dipping oil and a gluten free menu. The GF menu has lots of options. Personally I get the kids GF Mac and cheese and it comes in an adult portion absolutely perfect !

I ordered gluten free pasta and was given the regular gluten pasta. They told me about their error after I ate my meal.

And of course now I am horribly sick. Please do not go here - you can’t trust them.
