Their food was amazing but I was glutened!! I told them I had a gluten allergy and they assured me that everything is cooked separate and the chef even has celiac so they understand. I got my food to find out that they they mixed up my tables order with a different one and i was told after I took a bite. I got the same meal as another table, they just substituted sauce for mine to be gluten free. Since they mixed up the orders, my sauce has gluten in it. I got very sick within an hour of consuming it. It was such a great meal (taste wise) but I don’t feel comfortable going back. Please be careful if you go!!

EDIT: been here 2 times after this and been fine. Amazing food!! I would still be cautious but better experiences the last 2 times :)

We ordered the filet mignon which was meh. I should probably only order that at a steak house. It was super busy and we had to wait despite having a reservation, although we were a few minutes late because it was really difficult to find parking. It was crowded and pretty loud so I don’t think I can convince my husband to go back. I would return because they have a good reputation and all the other dishes going by looked amazing! I might try on a slower weekday to be safe. Lots of GF options, a local favorite for GF people.

• Good for dinner

Overall taste of the dishes was well done and balanced, would give them 5 stars for that. Take away 1 star because some of the ingredients didn't taste the freshest or led to "soggy" plates. Service was great and our waiter seemed very experienced with the menu so I didn't feel the need to grill him with all the usual procedural questions and the chef owner has Celiac's Disease. Did not get sick!

Chef Patrick has celiac and understands the importance of avoiding cross contamination.

Chef/owner is celiac. So many gf offerings clearly marked on the menu. I look forward to dining here whenever I’m in the area and recommend to celiacs and non celiacs alike

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is a nice restaurant with good ambiance, but we did not have the best experience on a busy Saturday night. We made a reservation a month in advance and mentioned it was my birthday but somehow still were seated at one of the worst tables in the restaurant. The service was slow and it was hard to get answers about whether any of the specials were gluten-free. Because it was my birthday, I was really looking forward to eating at a restaurant where I didn't have to worry, but unfortunately I don't think they're quite there yet. One of the dishes marked gluten-free on the menu came with french fries, and out of habit I asked whether they were cooked in a separate fryer. I was extremely surprised to find out that they were not, and they were not safe for someone with celiac to eat. I expect most restaurants not to understand, but in a restaurant where the chef has celiac, I thought that anything marked gluten-free would be safe. I'm still giving them four stars, because it's a good, local place and the experience was no worse than an average restaurant with a gluten-free menu that's not actually completely safe. But take care and ask questions when you go.
