Symptomatic Celiac

Overall Rating

Review


When in on Monday with a few friends for dinner. The first thing I noticed was all the fruit flies everywhere. I counted at least 10 on the wall in the corner we were sat at. There were bait traps out for them at the bar (a little apple shaped trap).

The service was great and our waitress was very kind and attentive.

My biggest complaint is that I ordered a gluten free meal due to having celiac disease. I was assured by the team that there are dedicated fryers and prep spaces. Also that their team is well trained in allergies.

I got incredibly sick that night which can happen with even just cross contamination. I was throwing out my leftovers when I noticed a regular non gluten free noodle (I was told they only offer penne for a gluten free substitute and it was not one of those).

I called and let them my name and number to have a manager call me and refund my order but I declined as it wasn't the point of my call.

Wings were very good. Large entree portions. Server was uncertain about cocktails menu. Wait was supposed to be 20 min on Friday night for 2, but got in fairly fast.

Really great experience here! Many items are marked gluten free on the menu, and after having a convo with my waitress, she informed me that they have a dedicated gluten free fryer! Food was delicious; I can't wait to go back!

Staff was very knowledgeable about gluten free. Items are very well marked on the menu! My mom has celiac, and she was able to enjoy a gluten free fish fry for the first time in over 20 years! And it was delicious! The executive chef delivered the food to our table himself, and was very kind and answered questions!
