Absolutely delicious food, and a fun experience. No worries about the celiac issues; the staff and owners were very knowledgeable, talked about which of their fondues and dippers was safe, and accommodated us perfectly.

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.
