We came here for dinner (staying in thr hotel attached) on Friday night. While they didn't have a GF menu or fryer, they did understand celiac and were able to provide GF noodles. Food was great and I appreciate the server talking to the kitchen specifically about my needs.

The server told me they had a GF fryer, then it came to light that the chef/owner recently started using their GF fryer for non-GF food. This after we had ordered, received our wine etc. They do, however, have GF pasta so the meal turned out really well.

Nothing outstanding, I was recommended here by my hotel and when I get there I was given the opportunity to substitute for Gluten free pasta. I thought it was ok but then soon after I had the WORST reaction I have ever experienced. Spend your money elsewhere because this place is NOT celiac friendly. You endanger your own health coming here if you are severely allergic to gluten.

The staff were very accommodating and tried to provide gluten free recommendations. The pasta is a corn rice blend so it may not work for all gluten allergy folks. I asked to substitute rice for the pasta and they were able to provide a risotto. They don't have a separate gluten free menu but they will try to work out options.

No gluten free dedicated menu for breakfast, when asked was just directed to the regular menu. The only smile we received was on the bill beside the circled tip suggestions.

They offer gluten free pasta, but no gluten free pizza crust. When I asked about gluten free options, they pretty much directed me to all the meat/seafood options.

Server had very limited knowledge of gluten free items other than the pasta. When I asked about steak entree she replied steak is gluten free.
