They must have a new chef because I looked at the reviews and was so excited to go but they had no idea what gluten was. They said I could get the gluten free pasta or the sirloin with only veggies. I asked if they could get the chef out and I asked him why the mashed potatoes weren’t gluten free and he said because they had butter and heavy cream in them. That’s when I realized that he has no idea what gluten is. He was very helpful though and we finally settled on the tacos blackened with corn tortillas. I didn’t have a reaction but it was a tedious process to get what I needed.

This place is wonderful! Both the manager and chef came to my table to discuss gluten free options. I had the Rasta Pasta dish - quinoa pasta with a delicious alfredo sauce handmade by the chef. We will definitely be back!

I had a conference down the street and ate here for lunch 3 days in a row and didn't get sick. Each time the chefs came out and discussed my allergies and their procedure for avoiding cross-contamination (changing gloves, clean utensils, etc.) management also came by and oversaw that my food was prepared properly. Felt very safe eating here.

My 4 year old got very sick after eating here. I went in one week prior and spoke to the chef. Was told what to order. My daughter is very ill. I am so upset for believing the chef and the reviews. This is not celiac safe.

My sons both have severe food allergies, and one is a celiac. The manager came out and wrote down all request, discussed menu options, and food prep. It was amazing! We never get to eat out, and they made it completely possible! Totally made my boys’ night!

The waitstaff was amazing and assured us there is a dedicated dryer for fries and chips. My kids are both celiac and extremely sensitive and didn’t have any issues. There’s also a pasta option, but we didn’t have it.

Fantastic experience! Our server has celiac so he guided me through the menu. The manager came to our table and filled out an allergy ticket for the kitchen. This was the best eating out experience I have had since my diagnosis 2.5 years ago.

While they have a gluten free bun and pasta, I find the atmosphere more enjoyable than their food.

I went for dinner. There are a couple of options marked as gluten free at the menu. However they can make sandwiches and hamburgers with a gluten free bun.( Not sure about de seasoning). I ordered the China chicken salad. the staff help me making that one gluten free by removing a couple of ingredients.
