Do not go if you have a gluten allergy. At first I felt, confident when they asked if anyone had any food allergies. They sent over the manager. I asked about an appetizer that had potato chips and a cheese dip. I was told that had gluten in it but they could get me bread instead. Then they proceeded to tell me their shell and cheese was gluten free, but when I asked if it had pasta in it, they said it’s not gluten free. I did not feel confident in anything they told me.

Very few choices: "basically, your options are salads without croutons." One hostess didn't know what GF was; another told me the above, which doesn't take into account sauces, marinades, dressings, or cooking surfaces for proteins. Server asked the chef, but I didn't feel confident in the response. Not sure they understand cross contact precautions. Wouldn't go again.

Sadly no gluten free menu but the server was very understanding and asked the kitchen on my behalf. The head chef himself came out to provide me their best GF options and a recommendation. Truly it is only their salads without croutons (or their “Mushroom Chop”) but still delicious nevertheless.

The waiter I had wasn't knowledge about the GF options but he when and got his manager who was. I have a soy and gluten allergy and he asked me what I wanted to order and went to the kitchen to talk to the chef to see if they could accommodate that meal. He came back out and said he could do everything but the side gluten free and he offered me alternatives. Over all it was an easy experience.
