I love this place! We’ve been there a few times and I love how they can make so many things gluten free! The servers are always so friendly and easy to work with!

I only ate dessert here but it was fantastic! The dessert dippers had strawberries, pineapple, marshmallows, snickerdoodle cookies, and brownies. Delicious!

The food here is amazing. They can be gluten friendly, and they substituted the chicken teriaki for more beef in our entree. It cost more, but only bc we asked for the filet.

You cook everything yourself, so my husband just took out some cheese for his bread to keep it gf. The waitress was new and not too aware of gf issues and gave us a cheese mix with beer in it. Thankfully, we were able to stop her before she poured it in! She also offered to substitute cookies in the chocolate with graham crackers! Um... no . But other than properly training their staff, the meal went well.

With dessert, they have some options that are gluten-friendly like fruit and coconut marshmallows for the chocolate. My only complaint is that they do not have gluten free bread or brownies. For the price, it would be a nice addition.

If you want to cook, stay home. My arms got tired holding my food while cooking it. You would be better off going camping.

Maybe they've improved since, but my experience earlier this year was not a good one. Only some of the staff seemed trained on GF and Celiac. Food tasted great but I had a bad reaction after.

We had such a wonderful experience! I’m not only gluten free but also have an egg allergy. We made a reservation online and they had not only allergy friendly bread for me, but brownies AND cookies! It’s hard enough for me to find anything to eat, let alone every course! We always come here for special occasions, and highly recommend it!

if you’re reactive/celiac then READ THIS!!! called ahead and thought that it would be safe because when I asked what they did to eliminate cross contamination but when I was there is was clear they didn’t do those things. they still gave me all the sauces including the gluten sauces on the same platter as my food. I think my plate had bread crumbs so I switched with my husband. it did not follow through as hoped so proceed with caution

I had an amazing experience here with lots of gluten free options and substitutions. Just let the waiter know you're gluten free and they will go out of their way to accommodate. The substitutions were tasty and there was no upcharge.

Be aware: They were able to accommodate my need to be Gluten free, however, this means that my wife also had to eat gluten free. I don’t like to force GF on her, especially when it’s date night and eating out.
