They have lots of gluten free options which are well marked on the menu so I was excited to try it. I had charcuterie as an appetizer & scallops with risotto as my entree. Both were good but something must have been cross contaminated because I got sick. I wanted to like it so much but sadly I won’t go back. If you don’t have celiac and aren’t bothered by cross contamination, it is a great place. Just not safe for celiacs or those with significant gluten intolerance.

I told the staff I was celiac and I was told I could order a gf bun with my burger. I was so excited! When my burger came out I could tell immediately that the bun was not gf, just by looking at it and I watched as other burgers came out of the kitchen with this bun. I told a server and she said she promised she told the kitchen. It sat untouched for probably 15 minutes more as I was uncomfortable and a manager came over to check on me. I told her I was celiac and she said “oh my gosh that’s not a gf bun let me take this back”. A few moments later she brought me the same burger on the same bun and said “nope the chef said it’s a new gf bun so that was my mistake and you’re good to eat it”. I sell food for a living and know it was not gluten free so I didn’t eat it. So sad though because I really wanted to like it there!

this place is NOT gluten free. i checked out the menu online and the reviews as well and they said that this restaurant has gluten free bread. the servers were all clueless as i asked for any gluten free options they may have.

I came here for brunch. I called ahead of time, and the person on the phone was very helpful and nice. I spoke with the manager on the phone, and he knew that I couldn’t have their shared frier and told me to ask for the manager when I got there so he could talk to the kitchen and make sure it is safe. They were very nice and happy to accommodate. There are more options than what is marked on their menu online. They don’t have a gluten free menu, but there are a lot of options. Food was good too!
