Review
This place WANTS to be great but my meal was really mediocre. I think it was what I ordered though because my mom’s short ribs were wonderful and my husband loves his seafood dish. They brought me a GF bread starter and it was just white plain schar bread barely toasted :( I was so bummed because the hummus, oil & balsamic & butter would have been amazing if they put more effort into the GF bread. My Caesar was just eh. Man wouldn’t it be great if they made their own GF crutons?! I was super excited about the flatbread but when I went to order it she warned me it’s a pizza when ordered GF. I wasn’t prepared for that answer so I still ordered. It looked ok but the pizza crust was bland and chewy. I’d go again but order something else. They could up their game by fixing a few of the things I mentioned though.

I had the gf pasta and chicken breast. It was the best chicken breast I ever had and they double checked everything and have great gelato and crème brûlée.
10/10 definitely recommend.

Had gluten free pizza and it was not only delicious, the waitesss was very attentive to my gluten free needs. Also had a salad that was Asian themed and asked her to go back and check on the dressing after I received it and she happily stated it was gf
