Not sure about this place... told server I had celiac and cannot have any gluten and asked for gluten free appetizers. Chef said chicken nachos was one of them. Got the chicken nachos and when I was almost done eating I noticed a tater tot was in my food and it was cross contaminated. Had to send plate back.

Had a great waitress, Skylar, who understood celiac needs as she has a friend come for brunch at this establishment regularly and not have a reaction. She went over the menu with me and explained chips and tots have their own fryers. I didn't react from the appetizers, and haven't tried the salad or poke bowl (should be gluten free) yet but was told the kitchen can be alerted to allergens. There was no review for this location and I was nervous but Skylar was really great and it was nice not having stomach pain later.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

At first I had hope, there is a gluten sensitive menu. Great, fast seating…. However, we ordered the GF baked buffalo wings. They arrived quickly but were stone cold. The server was very pleasant and tried to correct the problem and ordered new ones that were marked GF. But, when the new GF wings came out it was obvious that they were not baked and were fried and thus contaminated. In addition, there were no main entree options because it was an event nigh; so the choices were either salad or a burger without fries or bun. Staff was very kind and apologetic. Too bad the kitchen does not look at notes made by servers.

They have a dedicated gluten-free menu. Just ask for it when you first arrive. The number of options is very impressive. The waitress was very helpful and willing to accommodate my needs. I ordered some wings, chips, and a cider.

Four stars for the food, and one star for the service. When I asked for a gluten free menu, it took the entire wait staff ten minutes to find the single gluten sensitive menu. I don’t know why they don’t have more than one. I had to flag our server multiple times to order food. She kept walking by and not acknowledging us. My friends said the service is always terrible, but the drinks are good. Fried items listed are fried in a shared fryer, so if cross contamination is a problem for you I would skip those items. I didn’t have high confidence in our server to ring up a salad or burger with the necessary changes. I ordered the citrus grilled salmon. It was delicious! It came with roasted fingerling potatoes and asparagus. It was the best salmon I have had in a long time. I have a gluten sensitivity and feel glutened within an hour of eating gluten. I felt fine afterwards and would return for the salmon.

Very few to no options. Went here was I was recently diagnosed and waitress straight up asked “why I was there” when I explained my allergy. Would not recommend to anyone, celiac or not.

Hostess couldn’t find the list of gluten free items. Consulted a server who rattled off general guidance that was questionable (stated French fries would need to be substituted for side salad or macaroni and cheese). Having no confidence in ability to obtain a safe meal, we elected to go elsewhere.
