Gluten friendly but absolutely not celiac friendly. There is an extremely high risk of cross contamination as I found out after eating my food. Besides from that, their food is not great.
Items marked GF on menu. I ordered the grilled salmon, along with my another member of my party. They brought the dishes and I asked before eating if I had the GF dish. The server said yes. About 5 minutes into our meal, the server and manager came over to our table and informed me I’d been given the wrong plate. The sweet potatoes seasoning was not GF. Was sick for 10 days. I gave this restaurant another try last night. I thought it would be safe to order same meal since I knew what to look for. Plate came out correctly, however I’m sick again this morning. Not confident with cross contamination here.
I have celiac. Informed servers of allergy. No guarantee of no contamination. Menu isn’t exactly large but it’s more than we get at most places. Has GF noodles! Have ate here several times and no contamination yet.

My gluten free order was double checked before serving me. Bravo to all the wait staff that served me!
Bravo has a menu that indicates which dishes can be made GF. There are only a few--salad and some of the pasta dishes but I ordered a dairy free version of the chicken and spring vegetables pasta that was not even indicated to be GF with GF pasta as a substitute and I had no reaction. It is grilled chicken, pesto (no cheese in pesto) and veggies. Delicious! I am not Celiac so one would need to investigate further about cross contamination etc., if you are.

Menú has only a very few gluten free selections Menú uses their own black diamond to designate gluten free. It takes some searching to find that out
We had a wonderful experience here. Definitely ask your server because more items than what is marked on the menu can be made gluten-free. Lovely atmosphere, too.
The head chef spent nearly ten minutes in the phone and in person going over ingredients for making a steak salad gluten and dairy free including dressings. My girlfriend is gluten, dairy and has multiple other allergies. He was so kind and never once made me feel like an inconvenience. We will definitely be going here again.
The menu was clearly marked with what can be made gluten free- but the waitress said they are getting updated menus soon as they have more available. They were very accommodating.
NOT CELIAC FRIENDLY. DON'T TRUST THEM. NO GLUTEN FREE PASTA!
We went specifically because our daughter (celiac) wanted pasta. The server, and then the manager, confirmed that they cook the gluten-free pasta in the same water as the traditional pasta! Crazy but true. The manager then rudely and defiantly fed us some b.s. that the water temp keeps the pasta gluten free and they did not have room for a pot of dedicated water. Smaller restaurants are capable of doing it, why not them? "Gluten transfers to gluten-free pasta when cooked in shared pasta cooking water." - ScienceDirect
