Went here twice - the 1st eagerly after I moved to the neighborhood, the 2nd reluctantly to give it another chance. I have no interest in ever going back. This place just thinks way too highly of itself. The food and service were not worth the price, the wait staff didn't seem knowledgeable about gluten, and there were not many good GF choices.
After saying I was allergic to gluten the chef came to ask if I eat soy sauce. Enough said. Had the tasting menu with my group and basically the substitutes were horrible and nowhere near worth the price - my friends had 4 dishes and they brought me basic sautéed vegetables in oil and no flavor.
Joined some friends here for a celebration. Service was outstanding but not the most extensive menu for those needing to eat gluten free. Our bartender was knowledgeable about needing to stay gluten free and identified items on the menu that were safe. The dish I got (Jade Green Stir Fry) was very tasty but not very filling - it didn’t come with rice so was just veggies and meat in a spicy bean sauce. I got that meal and three ciders and ended up spending $70 after tip. I would have considered that worth it-ish, but I was hungry again about an hour after we left and ended up eating a gluten free frozen pizza after I got home. LOL! If you have a more extensive pallet you might be able to find something more satisfying than I did. I recommend getting the chicken as opposed to the beef if you choose to add a protein. The items with a dot next to them on my menu photo are gluten safe options.
