They have a couple choices of cheesecake for celiac suffers. There are clearly marked choices of food options. The staff is knowledgeable.

I went several times and it was every thing ok, the food is excellent but I never ask for a gluten free cake.This last time I did and I regret, because the people who served the cakes they don’t know or don’t care about cross contamination because I got sick and I had a bad time. What I saw later was that they use the same pallet knife to serve a regular cheese cake and a gluten free cake. However, I will came back because the rest of the menu is well prepared.

Fortunate enough to have a server who was extra considerate. They brought it to our attention that even though the menu item is GF it is prepared in "shared" cookware/water! The Godiva flourless chocolate cake is delicious :)

Huge gluten free menu...wish server knew about CD and cross-contamination. Ordered and brought out a salad with glutenous croutons. Had to send back. Then a new one came out and we found chips of nail polish in it!!!! Manager came out to investigate but this shouldn't happen...poor quality service and they weren't busy. When you get sick from gluten and explain to a server and they are still careless. Very sad!!!

Huge gluten-free menu, bigger than most restaurant's regular menus, including hamburger buns, pasta, and Godiva flourless chocolate cheesecake. Our new favorite gluten-free spot.

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.
