I’m sad to report they either changed their process or they started being honest about it. Previously I had been told almost all items were gluten free and safe, including items that were fried as they had a dedicated fryer. This is no longer the case and now all fried foods are made in a shared fryer. This was deeply disappointing as I’ve loved this restaurant for years and now it heavily limits what is celiac safe. While the food I was able to eat was delicious it’s so limiting that I don’t know it’s worth going back in the future. Such a bummer. I hope they go back to a dedicated fryer in the future

Everything I had was AMAZING, the server pointed out what exactly was or was not gluten free, can’t wait to go back. Also- easy to share plates with non- gluten free people as there were sufficient options

Food was great. Lots of delicious naturally gluten free dishes. A great place to go with a mixed group of people with different food needs. Not sure that they were perfect about avoiding cross-contamination. I hope they make a little more effort to keep their gluten-free food safe. This place could be a favorite.
