Have been here a few times and have not had an issue. Ordered the Pad Thai which I thought was delicious. Also tried the triple chocolate cake which was flavorful and rich

Tips


Celiac

Very disappointed with the lack of knowledge. My bf has celiacs so we are very careful where we eat most of their menu is available with gluten free options. I ordered it to be delivered and they put the gluten free roll in with the other one containing gluten. For a high end restaurant that has a whole gluten free menu i was very shocked. Please be cautious. As well as my sushi rolls did not taste fresh and had a slight smell. $70.00 of sushi in the trash. Do not recommend.

The focus was on the atmosphere and fresh flowers. The food was not good. Wait staff said they would help but offered no insight as to what I could order. I chose the Pad Thai but it was a glop of gross that I could hardly touch. Management took it off the bill but tried to pass it off as an "Italian fusion" found this confusing and it made even less sense as it was terrible. Management also tried to blame me for not bringing it up sooner. Wait staff wasn't exactly around to talk to about it sooner.

My wife and I always had a positive in-house dining experience. Unfortunately, they have removed all gluten free options from their various online systems, so call in take/out orders are sketchy at best… For in house dining I give it 5 stars, for take out or pickup all bets are off

Unfortunately, my daughters, who are celiac, were glutened at this restaurant notwithstanding their assurances that the meals we ordered were made gluten free. The culprit was the vegetable dumplings, because that was the only item they both ate. Not sure if it was cross-contamination due to the prep method of the dumplings or someone messed up in the prep area and included the gluten dipping sauce instead of GF sauce. Either way, it was a miserable evening for my daughters who both vomited for three hours straight. The response from the restaurant was disappointing when I called and spoke with the manager. While apologetic, they had no explanation or follow-up after saying they would investigate. Because of this experience, I cannot recommend it as safe for celiac people.
