I have only eaten here once since my celiac diagnosis and it was also the last time I will eat there. I asked for the GF menu, told the waiter if have celiacs, confirmed he marked my order as GF, and confirmed when he brought out my food it was GF (he stated he asked the cook to confirm before he brought it out).

The GF bun on my burger was huge and dry so I didn't eat much of it. The spinach artichoke dip was good but now I know it should have been served with celery and not chips, I think this is where I was contaminated.

For an $80 meal (including my husband's food) I was expecting better options and for the cook to serve the meal GF like it was ordered instead of giving me the chips that would be served with a regular order. Not sure if the waiter don't tell them or they just didn't care but I was sick for a week and won't be back.

Food was good! But..30 mins later I was sick as a dog. The only thing it could be was this food. I was so sad. I had the chicken sandwich wrapped in lettuce and the broccoli. Chicken was a little dry but good flavors. Broccoli was awesome. If I didn’t get sick I would say this is a great place to go.

Ate here twice during our trip. Lot of menu options. Food was very good. Wait staff were knowledgeable with the gf items and if they were unsure they took the time to check with the chef.

We have friends who go here every time they come here, and now we know why. The food, while it is bar food, was fantastic. I had the burger with GF bun - with guacamole, pico, and crab dip (?!?!) - not even kidding! The Caprese salad was decent, and my (non-GF) SO ate the WHOLE Philly cheesesteak (um, that never happens). It was a little loud and there was a wait, but it died down not long after we were seated. There is a TV at every table along the wall where we sat, and we thoroughly enjoyed the snowboarding show that was on ESPN. The service was good, and the manager came and checked on us. They have a gluten free menu, and while I don't know exactly how sensitive I am, I didn't have any problems. Overall, we were very pleasantly surprised and will definitely return!!

They have a separate GF menu, you just need to ask for it! The fryer is NOT a dedicated GF fryer!!!!!! I had a burger on a GF bun with a side salad. It was okay, nothing special, but I didn’t get sick.

Seemed safe enough, but they did not have many food options, so we actually didn’t stay.

I cannot recommend this place enough! I called ahead to see if they had a gluten free menu, which they do, and the bartender I spoke with said she is also gluten free and walked me through their safety practices. When I got there that night the entire restaurant, from the host to the server to the kitchen staff, was aware I was coming in and checked in with me at every stage of the meal. My burger was cooked in a separate pan and it was delicious!! I was blown away by how knowledgeable, thoughtful and understanding the entire team was! I will be back again and again!!

Limited GF menu but it was good. Grilled chicken sandwich with pepper jack, guac, and the GF bun was soft (I usually skip the buns but this one was good)

They have a gluten free menu and the manager even came over to walk me through what I could have and ensure that it would be made separately. French fries are made in a separate fryer too. No reaction after.
