Overall Rating

Review


I've eaten here twice now. The food is fantastic and the ambience of this outdoor restuarant is very fun! Most of the appetizers are gf (clearly labeled on menu) and almost every entree is gf, even though it doesn't explictly say so on the menu. I get the lamb skewers with extra salad (the rice pilaf contains gluten) and always end up with leftovers. However, I only give it two stars because this place is not safe for celiacs. The kitchen is too small for them to have a safe space on the grill without pita, so if cross contamination is an issue, I do not recommend. We found this out the hard way when we tried to eat here with my celiac brother.
