Overall Rating

Review


This place is amazing! We ordered online delivery for the first time during the pandemic. Besides that it’s really simple to mark allergy needs when ordering online, we also called immediately after placing the online order to confirm that it was Celiac disease. The person on the phone immediately told the kitchen to do all of the necessary glove changes, cross-contamination precautions, etc. 99% of the menu is gf anyway snd they’re super knowledgeable about Celiac and cross/contamination. And the food is amazing! We’ve had burgers, truffle fries, meatballs, salad, and some of the best mozzarella sticks I’ve ever had in my life, gf or non gf. I was blown away both by the quality of the food and the precautions that they took with it. Highly recommend!
