Their gluten free pizza is the best I’ve ever had. To the point my fiancé and I were suspicious. I have never gotten sick. They’ll tell you what they can do gluten free (pasta, pizza, etc)

I’m giving 4/5 for safety just because it is still a shared kitchen, but again — no issues ever for me!

10/10 recommend

Delicious food and they were thoughtful with their preparation of our gluten-free items. They do not have a gluten-free menu but we're clear about what they could prepare when asked. My daughter and I, both Celiac, ordered pasta and our server was diligent about checking with the chef to ensure the gluten-free spaghetti was cooked in different pasta water than the regular food. We were very happy with the quality of food. Our meals were delicious but expensive.

Food was amazing, fresh and yummy. I'm not celiac; I'm doing FODMAP, so cross contamination doesn't bother me so much... but our server went out of her way to help me create something that fit my dietary needs. Ultimately ordered broiled fish, veges and a side of gluten free pasta, and a gluten free chocolate torte for dessert. Yummy!!!

To start, I think the bartender who talked to the previous poster was misinformed. I've been coming here for a couple of years and they absolutely use separate water for the pasta. I eat here once a week at least, get the pasta almost every time, am full blown celiac and haven't gotten sick yet.

I also asked about the fries for my daughter once and they knew it was a shared fryer, so they do tell you when it can't be done.

When in doubt always ask a manager. They know best!!

USE EXTREME CAUTION!!!! So I went in for dinner, and sat at the bar! I'm VERY thankful for the bartenders knowledge of the "happenings" in the kitchen. I ordered a GF pizza but they were out...so now it came down to pasta because almost EVERY entree has flour in it! Ok, pasta it is....she told me before though that she'd do pizza over pasta because the pasta is cooked in the same water as the regular pasta! What?!?!?!?! This place outwardly says on their menu "proudly offering gluten free options". I told her that wasn't ok and that's cross-contamination. She went back and talked with the chef, they were able to boil a fresh pot of water to make my GF pasta.

The meal was good...but if you're going id use EXTREME CAUTION! I told her that the managers and kitchen need to be on board, you have to go all the way and truly offer GLUTEN FREE or don't even bother. She was very receptive and understanding

Very conscious of gf needs, offer gf pastas (penne & spaghetti) and many menu entrees are gluten free; dined here with my celiac family many times with no issue. Also great piano music & a separate show floor - really fun for date nights
