Symptomatic Celiac
4 weeks ago

I’m celiac and allergic to dairy and soy. They were AMAZING with allergies. It is a four course style service, started with cinnamon buns. I never expected they would have gluten, dairy and soy free substitutes for that. I got a cinnamon bun (only allergen was egg), my own plate of appetizers including fruit, Udi’s bread, hummus/veggies, a burger (with a bun!) and then a sorbet dessert. Extremely accommodation and inclusive. I was touched as an adult but can’t imagine how wonderful this inclusion would be as a child or for a birthday party. 10/10!!!!!

I had a great time here! We told the waitstaff at the front about my allergy, and our server pointed out the two options on the menu for entrees that couldn’t be made GF (I believe it was pancakes and French toast). Everything else could be made GF: chicken tenders, pasta, flatbread, sandwiches, garlic bread! I got the pasta with butter and Parmesan cheese. We did the prix fixé menu so they also brought out a GF plate for the appetizers and dessert. Each of my plates had an allergy marker on it. The pasta was good, though I did end up getting some extra cheese and salt & pepper to add some flavor. The dessert was delicious chocolate mousse (without the cookie crumb “dirt” on the flowerpot).

Second year we’ve dined here for lunch. Expectations were low but food was actually decent/good. They are great with allergies. You pay a set amount per person (appetizer, main, dessert) and they sub each course with a gluten free selection. Dedicated fryer for fries and food comes out with an allergy stick.

Told the host I was GF when I arrived. Our waiter came by once we were seated and told me that almost everything on the menu could be made GF. I had GF chicken tenders, as well as a GF blueberry muffin and mousse without cookie crumbles for dessert.

I called in advance and the woman I spoke to said you should call at least 5 days in advance to make sure they can accommodate. BUT I found this not to be true. Looks like they’re just always ready to handle intolerances.
