I’m a little disappointed because i felt the restaurant advertised about their food accommodations highly but as soon as I sat down and explained I have celiac, my waitress continually and expensively warned me about how unsafe their kitchen is with cross contamination. There are few and far between gf options on the menu, they are unwilling to alter their food with gf alternatives, and it’s risky. And honestly, the food was not good.

Delicious! Lots of great dishes and everyone enjoyed their cocktails! Service was outstanding and timely. We came before a show, and we got out in plenty of time!

Lots of gluten free choices, and knowledgeable staff.

There are a handful of GF options on the menu. There isn't a separate menu. I made sure to let them know I have a gluten allergy and am sensitive to cross contamination. Ate the farmers plate with salon and it was decent.. looking forward to trying something new next time! There's an alternate salmon dish which was mentioned in the other reviews on here* The dessert menu didn't have any GF specific options.

Menu items marked GF. Waiter a bit unsure when it came to minor cooking details. Salmon dish has parsnip chips that they confirmed is fried in mixed fryers. Need to watch here. Tasty but definitely a cross contamination kitchen.

Many of the menu items are gluten-free, and the staff are very familiar with what constitutes a gluten-free meal. Everything I’ve had to eat there has been delicious. What a joy! A broad menu of delicious items and I get to choose. It’s like the old days when I could eat anything.

The waiter was pretty knowledgeable about what on the menu was ok for me to eat. And the wait staff were friendly and attentive. The food was pretty good, though a little on the salty side. I'll go back and try something else on the menu, as they have quite a few selections that are gluten free. I had the blackened trout this evening, and it was good.

Only thing labeled on the menu as gf was a gluten free spaghetti but it was great! Maybe they have a separate gluten free menu but we didn't ask.
