Thank goodness for our waitress Denise. We ended up at this restaurant unexpectedly with a big group. The gluten free menu did not have a lot of choices and did say that it could not guarantee cross contamination. When I spoke with our waitress about the tacos ( according to the gluten free menu it said “all tacos” as they were made out of corn) she informed me they were flour ones now. She suggested the roasted cauliflower and salmon. The cauliflower was delicious but the salmon was so small and very bland. I wish I had taken a picture because it was so small and my entire meal cost 18 dollars. I thanked Denise so much but did tell her they shouldn’t be giving out this menu to folks that need gfree as its not accurate although I know that’s not in her control. I was lucky I ended up with someone who was knowledgeable and I didn’t get sick. I normally plan out the restaurant for myself but I won’t be going back. Barely any choices and overpriced. The rest of my group felt the same way in that their food was just ok and overpriced. Thank you for our waitress!

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.

Waitstaff understood the words 'gluren free' but I don't believe the reason for necessity and avoidance of cross contamination, or at the very least the communication between FoH to BoH.

To be honest, I should have listened to my gut that it probably wasn't sad eto eat there, but of course I didn't. Got a plain salmon, asparagus, and potatoes, was quite delicious, however within a short period of eating, my gut was literally telling me how wrong I was.

A great place for drinks, but I would highly suggest bypassing the thought of eating there.

I was here for a corporate event and they were super nice about my questions but there’s pretty much nothing safe here. They said I probably couldn’t trust the wings gluten wise. Chips are in a shared fryer. Even the grilled chicken is grilled on the same grill as buns. Salad is probably safe if it didn’t touch anything but comes by default with croutons.

I have been here a few times. I think the only safe items are the salads of course, burgers no bun and the street tacos. No gf buns available and chips for dips and nachos and fries are fried in a shared fryer. Neat place. Just not many options.
