Went to bowl with my two young daughters who have celiac asked about gluten free options for lunch. They were able to accommodate my daughters needs. The owner had the chef come out and talk to me to make sure he understood the needs of my daughters. I was extremely happy and so were my girls. Definitely go back again.

*not celiac* We went for bowling and an early dinner and they could not get a single order right for our party who had multiple allergies. I was excited to get a burger on a gluten free bun - they brought it out on a regular bun and I caught it luckily and turned it back. Similar issues for someone who was dairy free in my group, salad came with cheese on after specific request to omit due to an allergy. I could not recommend this for anyone with an allergy based on our experience however once I received my burger as ordered it did not make me sick at least.

The fries are battered and not gluten free.

July 2023 Looks like processes/standards have changed. We texted to inquire about GF options (we like to double check even though we've been before). Whoever responsed basically said they don't take any safety precautions - see images. Downgraded from 4 to 2 stars, and of course changed our safety rating.

July 2022 We went for bowling and a gluten free meal! Our family had a fantastic time. There were not a ton of gluten free options, but the speciality gluten free pizzas satisfied our appetites. When we entered we asked about gluten free menus and was kindly directed to the waitstaff as they would have more information. Another woman who worked there at the front happened to over hear and came over to reassure us of the safety precautions taken - she too has celiac.

We still asked the waitstaff who took our order about precautions - separate fryer for the fried foods, separate pan, etc for the pizza.

Pricey - but everything on the vineyard is. We will be back!

We had a great experience with my celiac son. Menu items are limited as the fryer is not celiac safe. He loved the cheese pizza. We were told that the area is cleaned and fresh toppings are used so most pizzas can be made gf. Helpful and attentive staff with bowling too!

They had the best customer service of any restaurant I’ve ever had the pleasure of going too. They let us in early because we forgot to check the time. Great food, 5 stars!

Really wonderful experience! The staff was very friendly and very helpful! As a celiac, I appreciate the time the staff took to explain how the food was prepared and it was delicious! My kids loved it and we ate well!

What a find! After a great game of bowling, we weren't sure whether or not the Bistro had any GF options. When we asked one of the servers, he told us they had GF buns for burgers/sandwiches and many of the menu items are GF (or could be modified).We've eaten here several times without any issues. Burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, Italian sub, and steak tips were all delicious!The servers have obviously been well trained and were helpful, friendly, and accommodating. I highly recommend bowling a few games and having lunch or dinner afterwards!
