My family went here for Sunday brunch (1 Celiac adult, 1 Celiac child). Limited gluten free vegetarian options but the items are clearly marked on the menu. I ordered the deviled egg of the week, the brussels sprout grain bowl, and a brunch mimosa. I thought the portions were good. The mimosa was excellent. My child had the children's grilled cheese with side of applesauce. $9 for a half sandwich and bowl of applesauce felt overpriced. They were out of rootbeer and their soda machine was broken when we went. I enjoyed the live music during Sunday brunch.

Delicious burger on a GF bun! However, my server told me the sweet potato fries are cooked in the same fryer as breaded items (and regular fries). It came with chips.

Had a great menu and I was super pumped to try all of the gf options. Not to mention the environment is beautiful!!! The food was very good but sadly I won't go back. The service was terrible. We sat for 15 minutes before anyone greeted our table, actually I had to go up to the host and ask if we had a server. Yes I actually was timing it because I work in the industry and notice these things. Everyone including the chef seamed to move like snails. We watched our food sit under the heat lamps for 10 minutes before being brought out to our table. Our server was nice but was bad at her job and had zero personality. Then the manager could tell we were upset and her apology was extremely fake not sincere at all and full of excuses to the point it was insulting. So she was the icing on the cake of us not returning.

They offer several items that are gluten free. It is $1.50 extra yet worth the added fee. The food was delicious! I had a sandwich on gluten free bread, sweet potato fries and tried the cheetah bean soup. Most soups are gluten free. They also had several vegan options as well.

They offer a few options on their menu that you can order GF, but there is a charge of $1.50 extra. They also have a soup/salad bar at lunch that is delicious, and I believe all the dressings are GF. They also brought me GF bread from downstairs as part of the all you can eat soup/salad lunch.
