9/10 for GF - This place is fantastic! Nothing is explicitly labeled GF (hence the 9), but many things are! I ordered steak and frites. I asked my server if I should exchange the frites for mashed potatoes. She told me that I can still have the frites if I want. They usually use the upstairs fryer for everything, but there’s another fryer downstairs that is GF. So, they had my fries cooked downstairs. It came with a little GF flag in it. No cross contamination experience for me whatsoever! I feel fantastic!

10/10 for flavor - Everything was absolutely delicious.

5/10 for service - I will say, this place is slightly more “high-end” (or at least it wants to be) and the vibe reflects that. There is just an overall air of that in the workers and customers. The only thing that could have made the night better would have been a little bit nicer of service. Don’t get me wrong, she and they were textbook “good” servers: professional; attentive; accommodating; and nice… somewhat. The niceness was very service level and my entire party of 8 actually could feel the judgment and inner annoyance coming out of her. It was very surface level politeness. Also, before we were seated, we went to the bar (they gave us our table like 15/20 mins after the reservation time?) and the servers who kept walking by seemed annoyed by our group standing at the bar (like we were in their way…). The bartenders downstairs were fabulous however.

Still, the food was overall so delicious and SAFE I will 100% go back. Just, expect a certain air, I guess I’ll call it.
