I went to this restaurant because it was GIG recommended I was very disappointed. The waitress did not seem sure about what was gluten free. My friend and I were sharing a pot and she had agreed to do gluten free yet the waitress brought regular bread for her and gluten free for me. It was frustrating and I was nervous.

The waitress was very knowledgeable about gluten! They asked when we checked in if there were any allergies and almost everything is gluten free there. They even brought us gluten free bread for an appetizer and brownies for dessert. Would recommend!

Our waiter had no idea what cross-contamination is. They do offer gluten free but they took no precautions whatsoever. Carrying, pouring, stirring, dripping stuff across the plates of gluten free food and person we had just told him was extremely sensitive to gluten. My daughter ended up eating nothing at all there.

The waiter was not very knowledgable or accommodating. I told him about my dietary restriction and asked for a salad with no croutons. He brought me a salad with croutons. I told them, and they said they would fix it. I thought they did, but as I finished, I found a crouton on the bottom. My guess is they just picked off the croutons. I went with a large group and the waiter decided which items he wanted to make gluten-free (like cheeses) so be sure to tell him which one you want gluten-free! (I thought I did) If I go back, I will ask for a different waiter and make sure they know about my celiac! I might give it another chance because the food is SO GOOD!

it was good! you cook eveything at your table in your own pot, so as long as you are with other diners who don't mind a gf meal, it seems pretty safe!

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.
