The staff and chef were very knowledgeable of all my allergies. I am celiac and have a dairy, egg, and fish allergy. The chef and staff were helpful and gave me several options and alternatives that would suit my dietary needs. I am very sensitive to cross contamination. Best part… no reactions from any allergies!!

This was an experience I wanted to love but the knowledge of the waitstaff was really not great. We ordered items marked GF on the menu and our waitress initially seemed uncomfortable (or uncertain about?) confirming about the precautions for GF prep in the kitchen. The dinner was AMAZING. So good. Our waitress then came back and unprompted said “we have 2 gluten free desserts—chocolate cake and pineapple upside down cake.” Going on her word we ordered both. However I was really uncertain about the pineapple cake and asked her to check what kind of flour was used as I was surprised it was gluten free. She came back out and said “cornstarch.” That would make a gravy and not a cake, so I started googling to see if I could find more on it. The restaurant’s Facebook page actually listed the recipe, first ingredient was cake flour. I had decided at that point that I just wouldn’t eat it. A handful of minutes before the dessert was supposed to come out, the waitress returned to our table and said she “triple checked” but was actually mistaken and the cake was not gluten free. I very much appreciated her willingness to share that with us, but it was a crappy way to end the meal.

I had a braised rib meal that was delicious. They also had a chocolate soufflé that was gluten free and amazing. Quite a few choices in the GF area. The staff was well versed in the GF needs and helped ensure all my food was GF.

We had a wonderful experience. It’s definitely more Hawaiian style, not Japanese. They have clearly marked plates for gluten free (embossed flowers on them). Service was amazing. Views were amazing and most importantly, FOOD WAS AMAZING. I had the scallops and honey mustard braised ribs.

Excellent experience. 3 of the 8 dinner guests were Celiac and we all left extremely happy. Our waiter (James) was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to make sure our meals were safe. No specific Gluten Free menu, but the our wait staff took the time to talk to each guest about the dishes we were interested in and the kitchen was willing to accommodate. The kitchen was able to prepare several of the menu items so that they were safe. The ribeye and chocolate soufflé were “the best” GF food we have had in a long time.

Ate here twice on my trip. first night the server was very thorough and knowledgeable but second waiter seemed less sure about what was safe. Was told to just pick a protein, a starch, and a vegetable and they could make whatever I wanted, mix and match the components of the menu items. Was then told that the short ribs (minus one sauce) and the butterfish were the easiest menu options to make gf. Food was delicious both times
