The food was very good, but I wouldn’t recommend this place to very sensitive folks as there were mistakes in the menu listings (I.e., what is gf and what is not). When the reservation was made my dietary restriction was mentioned but the server did not seem to know and did not ask about restrictions/allergies upon ordering. I did not notice different color tableware for gf items as per another review. Beautiful space, good food, but a bit careless.

Delicious food, clearly marked menu, server asked about food allergies at seating and GF food was served on different dinnerware. Lovely atmosphere for date night or other special occasion

Got glutened here terribly. I had chicken skewers with the GF pita bread. Not sure if the pita wasn’t actually GF or if there was CC. Food was delicious but wouldn’t go here again. Server did not seem knowledgeable about GF options. Menu marks Gluten sensitive options but are not celiac safe options (ie, fries marked GF but no dedicated fryer).

Tips


Symptomatic Celiac

Make sure you have a reservation and are dressed appropriately for dinner out. Shorts and a t-shirt not okay. Not sure about their menu because they wouldn’t allow us to dine.

Excellent homemade gluten free pita! I didn’t get sick and enjoyed their gluten free kabobs with GF fries too!! Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. Our server was very knowledgeable about gluten allergy and took special care to ensure my food was GF.

Server assured me things were gluten free. Then went to kitchen to check. Came back and suddenly offered gluten free pita. It was not gluten free. So sick. So miserable. Server was so casual when I asked questions and clearly didn’t take celiac seriously.

Should have followed my instinct to not trust him and asked for manager or another server.

Phenomenal! My wife is celiac and they new right away what she could have and could not. She also cannot do dairy and that was not an issue! We had such an amazing experience. House made humus with house made pita (best thing we ate),mussels, salmon and lamp chops. Was all amazing!! My wife got to have a frappe martini. Such a great experience.

I’m a foodie, and this place was OFF THE CHARTS AMAZING! If you’re looking for a super fabulous Greek restaurant with excellent service and insanely good food, then you’re in the right place!

Ask them to bring out gf pita bread! They make each order fresh and it’s such an amazing treat!

Staff was very knowledgeable. The waiter made sure the kitchen staff was aware and was very caution of cross contamination. He checked with the cook and told me what my options were from the menu. Make sure to disclose you have celiac to your waiter because some GF dishes aren’t Celiac friendly. All the food was delicious, highly recommend the salmon and feta fries!
