So I've been to CF before in other places. Here was wonderful. The waitress kept on checking with the chefs on cooking and cross contamination. I'm gluten and dairy free. Enjoyed the tamale cakes with creams on the side and Evelyn's lunch portion gf pasta. Changed sauce to oil and added their dairy free cheese (from the Vegan hamburger). Their GF buns are NOT dairy free, was disappointed, but at least I was told that.

Came here for the first time since early 2020 last night and had an awesome experience! I ordered pasta and they informed me that they had a separate area in the kitchen where they’d prepare my food in new water to boil the pasta in! I didn’t get sick and the GF Godiva cheesecake was amazing!

Large selection of gluten-free meals. And their one gluten-free chocolate cheesecake is delicious! Our server was very knowledgeable about gluten free. It was a good experience for us.

I just became gluten-free, and it's been a hard adjustment. So naturally, I was scared eating out, as it's supposed to be a fun celebration, and not something to dread. When I called to see if they had a gf menu, they assured me that they absolutely did. When I went there, while the server didn't 100% know if items that weren't labeled gf were (they seemed to be), she checked with both the manager and the chef. Thank goodness that I don't have to loose one of my favorite restaurants. I had the chicken farfalle gf dish and fries for a snack, and didn't have any pain. While they only have one option for cheesecake, it was still good.

We explained my daughter was celiac and the waitress notified the chef who then supervised the preparation of her meal. My daughter is extremely sensitive to cross contamination and it’s been 24 hours and no signs of being sick.

I had the pasta for lunch yesterday. Server did not seem very concerned about the allergy. I have been very sick since last night. Do NOT eat here if you are celiac!

Server didn’t seem to be overly concerned about my gluten free requirement. I’d ask for a manager if you want to eat here. I ordered an omelette and it arrived with potatoes on the plate, and we hadn’t discussed how they’re prepared. Server then explained but it would have been nice to know this before the food appeared in front of me. The good news is: no reaction but doubt I’ll go back here again.

If you ask for gluten free food, they suggest grilled salmon or grilled chicken. It was pretty delicious. They were very helpful.

They told me I could order gluten free pasta, I did and after I took a couple bites noticed that there was a partial bow tie pasta in my dish!!! Obviously there is too much risk for cross contamination, never again. They took it back to the kitchen and I ordered salmon.

Absolutely do not trust the GF on the menu. TELL THEM YOU HAVE AM ALLERGY. The GF meal I picked was salmon, broccoli and mashed potatoes just to learn the BROCCOLI is cooked in PASTA WATER. My stomach was so sick after leaving.
