Had a great experience here. I had a fish with green beans and it was cooked well. Nothing amazing in taste but I am also allergic to dairy and egg. So most of my dishes are pretty simple. But I felt safe and comfortable eating here :)

We spoke with the owner Mark before going in and he reassured us we could have a celiac safe experience. When we arrived, Chef Troy came out to answer all of our questions. Chef Troy then cooked and delivered our meals personally and the food was really good. He also had a gluten free chocolate cake that was really good as well. We had a great time and will be visiting again soon..We tried the gnocchi and pasta and are looking forward to trying the gluten free pizza.

There was only one appetizer that was marked that it could be made gluten free- the steak tips. To make it gf was to remove the sauce. We ordered them medium and they came out with no pink and were well done. They were very bland and there was a hair in it. Unsure if it was one of ours, we didn’t mention it.

For a main dish there was few options. I ordered the gf pasta Alfredo. My plate was quite warm and the pasta was congealed. It smelled great, but tasted terrible. The pasta was over cooked and gummy. I had a few bites and stopped eating after pulling out a long hair knowing it was not ours.

Our waitress was kind, but seemed inexperienced. She asked us how our food looked after we got it, but never came back to check on us to see how things tasted. We were never offered the fresh shaved cheese for our pasta that other tables near us were.

When the waitress asked if I wanted a box for my barely eaten pasta and I said no, she did not follow up and asked if everything was ok.

I would not recommend this place for gluten free eating. Within 20 minutes of eating, I reacted to the 2 things I ate- both which were marked to be gluten free for an allergy.

They had a nice selection of GF items on the menu, but the food was mediocre at best. We had a shrimp basil-butter appetizer that was flavorless, unseasoned and had no basil. The GF pasta was overcooked and then mixed with the sauce, giving the whole item a weird texture and taste. I also had the Chicken Caprese, which was chicken breast layered with sliced tomato and topped with cheese. It was edible but flavorless. The waitress made no attempts to discuss anything with the chef, I presume since she was the only waitress on the floor. I am not celiac, so have no idea about CC. She was pleasant, but inexperienced. We won’t return.

The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. The menu was clearly marked with gluten-free items; there were plenty of options. They were also able to accommodate dairy-free. I tried the sausage and peppers appetizer, house salad, fruits of the sea pasta, and blood orange sorbet. All were delicious!
