Server was attentive to concerns. Ordered gf- salmon with mashed potatoes and spinach (the server said broccoli and asparagus are cooked in pasta water), gf godiva cheesecake. Food was delicious, but had headache by the end of the meal. Full blown celiac attack. Further research on websites say do not eat anything Godiva if you have allergies & that cross contam is very hard to control at CF even when allergies are noted.

They have gluten free items marked on their menu be sure to state that you would like the dish gluten free and specify that you have an allergy. I ordered the chicken taco lettuce wraps and they were delicious. I am very sensitive to cross contamination and I did not get sick. At another location I ordered the gluten free pasta and got very sick so I would advice caution against the pasta.

I went here on Black Friday and the restaurant is cute! Their menu was clearly labeled for what could be made gluten free. I told the waiter three times that I have a gluten allergy (I have celiac) and wanted a gluten free bun for my burger. He repeated the order back to me and told me the fries were in a designated frier. Unfortunately, the burger had a gluten bun. I took one bite and felt suspicious that it didn’t have a normal gluten-free bun texture, so I focused on my fries. When he came to clear the plates, he apologized for bringing me a gluten bun, but I had already taken a bite of it. They comped my burger, but I would not come back here. I made it very clear that I could not have gluten and they served me a bun with gluten. I was very bummed about this so I gave my GF cheesecake to my sister. I got sick that night. Disappointing :(

The first thing I told my server about was that I had celiacs disease and before I could explain anything she explained her sister also had celiac and she knew I couldn’t eat gluten. I explained to her about cross contamination and she assured me I would be great. I got nachos and she said they couldn’t put a kind of cheese on it and that they could only melt cheese. I was fine with it. Right after I ate them I felt sick. Come to find out, the chips are mixed with flour tortillas and corn tortillas. Please be careful if eating her.

Got the GF pasta with chicken and pancetta. Also got the Godiva cheesecake to go. The server wasn’t the most knowledgeable, but made an effort and checked with the kitchen.

They served bread on the table for the other guests.

The corn cakes are marked GF and looked really good but check they’re not fried.

Gluten free pasta is cooked in the same water as wheat pasta and they are unable (unwilling) to cook it separately.
