I want to give this more stars. Cute place and I will definitely eat here again when I catch a play, but this first experience was frustrating. Yes, the menu is marked for GF items, which is why I checked it out today. The problem… The appetizer Shrimp and Crab dip is marked as GF because the corn chips are corn based, but there is no dedicated fryer. The burger is marked GF but they do not have GF buns. When I let the server know that I have a wheat/gluten intolerance, she kindly pointed out my options. When I asked about the fryer and pointed out that it can’t be GF if in the same fryer, she copped a big attitude. My point, always ask questions because some people do not take your food restrictions seriously. They aren’t the ones paying your medical bill or covering your missed day when you get sick. I had the Chicken Santa Margherita ( chicken breast, mushrooms, fontina cheese, and lemon butter sauce) with a side of steamed veggies (squash, broccoli, carrots, asparagus) and it was delicious. I will try the dinner menu next time and update.

Amazing food with a wonderful variety of GF choices. I didn't feel like I was missing out on flavor. Atmosphere is great and it's always nice being greeted by the owner.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wonderful food and easily marked options. 4 stars instead of 5 because I took a glutenease so I am not sure about any cross contamination. The staff was very knowledgeable about gluten free and very kind. I ordered a salad and the salad dressing I originally ordered was not gluten free and the waitress came back to our table to let me know and have me pick a different dressing.

They do have a pretty big selection of gluten-free items clearly marked on the menu. Our server was very accommodating and double-checked on a couple of my questions to make sure his answers were correct. Be aware that many of the GF dishes incorporate butter in some way, so if you can't do dairy, your options will be somewhat limited.

Gluten free items are clearly marked on the menu....but hope you don't have to order one of them. Even though we had a conversation with the server and stressed a gluten and milk allergy, the fish arrived battered and the vegetables buttered. The kitchen did "remake" the food after the server argued about the fish being battered, but I still got sick. Expensive and no compensation for mistakes made. (They did not even bring a soup that was ordered by another guest in our party).
