I had a great experience at the blackbird restraunt. I shared two entrees with my non gf friend the local trout and scallop risotto and the goat cheese corn pie. I ordered the pork rinds but my waiter told me they were fried in a shared fryer so I opted against them. They say gf on the menu but there is a cross contamination issue! Both entrees were delicious and I had no reaction. Lots of gluten free options on the menu.

Had a fantastic dinner here- the waitress was very knowledgeable about celiac and made sure to inform the kitchen staff. I’m also vegetarian so it was nice to have options. Good drinks, great GF desserts. Would go back!

Dish was served with fried grit cake - they do not have a dedicated fryer. Waitress was unaware of cross contamination issue.

This is a great place. I’m celiac. Very nice menu with some different items. Very knowledgeable waitress ( one of the best my wife and I have ever had). I had the seafood risotto and warm autumn salad $ my wife had the pork chop. Both 100% safe. Menus is well marked with GF options. Visiting here from Boston ... wish we were closer. Great place for a real nice dinner.

Delicious craft cocktails. No dedicated gf menu but a lot of selections. Very good food. The only thing I didn't like was how they wouldn't substitute side dishes. I understand that policy for regular diners but I feel like that policy should be waived for people with allergies as I was unable to eat the side that came with my meal. They charged me an additional $8 for a small side of something I could eat instead of substituting.

Staff is very knowledgeable about menu and ingredients. Guaranteed gluten-free entrees for celiac patients and allow for substitutions for allergies. Menu changes for meals though, as well as seasonally. Only ciders and wines on drink menu for gluten-free. Duck w/ risotto and pork chop entrees were DELICIOUS. As was the creme brûlée.
