This place was PHENOMENAL and the server took great care of me having celiac. They knew about shared fryers / soy sauce / etc. he also checked in a lot and was just overall wonderful
Fucking delicious. And varied. That is all. And it’s enough. Try the octopus pizza, scallops, red snapper ceviche and brussel sprouts. I’ll be thinking about them for a long time.
Delicious. They are knowledgable about cross contamination. Gluten free food for allergies comes out with a little allergen pick in it so you don't get confused, cause its shared plates. Menu changes seasonally, but there are some items that stick around.

Pros
- staff paid attention to comments on OpenTable! (Listed we had an gluten allergy)
- staff provided us with a separate allergy menu
- food is served tapas style and my party and I were able to share all our dishes with plenty of options
- my server was knowledgeable, asked if I was okay with cross contamination, and made notes on all orders for safe/separate prep
- my server also graciously answered any questions I had and checked with the chef
Overall, I had such a great experience and felt at ease. Plus the ambience is such a vibe!
Cons
- if you are Celiac, I’m not sure if you will have the same experience. You’ll have to ask more questions!
Great experience. I talked with the server. He said they can accommodate and prepare in a safe manner. He went over what would be safe for me. We were with a large party and he told me to only eat what he handed me directly. I didn’t get sick. Delicious
Amazing vibes and ambience first of all - so that already started the night off right! the waiter was so attentive to us! Menu has a lot of gluten free options and the staff paid a lot of attention to my gluten free requests! They even gave us a complimentary gluten free cake for a bday we were celebrating at our table for me to try 🥹😭🙏
I loved it here! Everything was so yummy!
Great vibe! Waiter was very familiar with celiac. Food was delicious. Many options that could be prepared gluten free.
We came here specifically because the menu had several items that were marked as “gluten free preparation available”. I ordered a few small plates with this distinction on the menu. When the waiter came out with the first one, he said “the chef wants to know if you’re okay with cross contamination”. I said no, that’s why I ordered it with gluten free prep. I was then informed that nothing I ordered could be made gluten free. I ended up with a GF pizza, which was good, but not what I had ordered. Disappointed and confused about why the menu would have the GF distinction if it’s not available.
Super knowledgeable staff, and had a dedicated space when I specified I was celiac. Our server was great and advised on best dishes. I ate so many different things as this was tapas style and didn’t get sick at all. Going to try out the brunch on the weekend sometime.
Do not eat here if you are a celiac. Went for brunch and was assured many times by waiter that they are well versed in gluten allergies and that everything I had ordered would be safe. First item brought out was the Brussels sprouts after eating the entire dish a manager came out and told me that they had brought me the wrong one and that this one was from their cross contaminated fryer. They said the waiter had put it into the system correctly the kitchen and delivery staff messed up. I’ve been extremely sick for the last two days, ruined a large portion of my vacation.
While the atmosphere here is amazing the food was only so so. Not to mention after double checking that my pizzaa was the gluten free crust(which it wasn't) the manager came out and grilled me on whether i was ceiliac or had a gluten allergy and thr chided me for not telling my server(which i did). Overall this place might be good for drinks and a calm atmosphere but i wouldn't go back for the food.
