I had one of the best dining experiences here this past weekend. Our server Soraya also has celiac and told me I’d be just fine. We didn’t even need to look at a menu, just went with her recommendations! It was a 10/10! I cannot wait to dine here again. The food was incredible - the flavors between each dish were nothing short of *chefs kiss*

Thank you so much for the most incredible dinner!

Almost the entire menu is gluten free… and then ruined by the addition of beer-battered fish tacos. Was a favorite for years, but is no longer celiac-safe. Avoid.

I did not dine here but called the restaurant while looking for place. They told me "we have a very small kitchen and there is always cross contact....This is not your place." Really appreciated the honest and straightforward answer, even though they happened to have an all GF menu at the time

Dinner here was amazing. Our server informed us that she was celiac as well, and that all the items on the menu with the exception of one dessert item are gluten-free. What a pleasant surprise! She also stated that the menu is updated weekly, so I’d recommend always asking about what items are gluten-free. All the food was very well prepared. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Small plates. We had the empanadas, beef short ribs, and tuna for dinner, and more empanadas and a mousse for dessert. The menu was not marked with gluten-free tags.
