Had a great and attentive server! Unfortunately, even though she spoke with them in the back to change their gloves and take extra safety measures, it was not enough. She put into the computer that I was gluten free and even went and spoke with them to tell them it was very severe. I got the baked seafood platter, which was super good, but an hour later both my brother (who is also celiac) and I were in the bathroom super sick. Hope other people have a better experience.

My server checked with the chef to make sure he recommended the safest dishes for me. He was busting his hind end with all his tables, ours included, and still made sure we had enough drinks and everything came out right. The food was wonderful too! The server even brought me a complimentary ice cream scoop because none of the desserts were gf tonight. Super thoughtful and kind!

Sonny, our waiter, is GF, so extremely knowledgeable. He is also one of the chefs so was able to help me tailor options down to the sides. I had blackened tilapia and it was excellent.

Most entree made from scratch and can accommodate dietary needs. Waiter, Ben, was very knowledgeable and helpful. Do not know how celiac friendly kitchen is but I had no problems. Food was delicious with multiple options for me.
