Delicious! Lots of gf offerings - they can swap out pasta for risotto which was so good! If you get the hummus maybe ask for extra veggies (it only came with a few carrot / celery sticks).
Great food! They were very confident about it being safe and I had no reaction
We took my daughter who has celiac there for her birthday dinner and it was great! The staff was very knowledgeable about what could be prepared gluten free. The service was great and the food was fantastic! It can get a bit loud when it is busy so just something to be aware of.
Even more of the menu could be made gluten free if they had a separate grill for toasting the pita bread. Because they grill the pita bread on the same grill as the food you can not order anything grilled. But they can make most anything in a separate pan - and I would say at least 80% of the menu can be made gluten free.

I called ahead and the person on the phone was very knowledgeable - they were aware of Celiac and could tell me specifically what was at risk of cross contamination and what was not. Most menu items can be made gluten free by subbing pasta for rice or risotto as long as they are not prepared on the grill.
Our waiter was also very helpful and reassuring of the precautions they would take. I had the braised lamb over risotto (typically it's over orzo) and it was phenomenal. Also got a chocolate mousse for dessert which was delicious.
Prices are a bit on the high side as the general vibe is that of a fancier restaurant. We'll definitely go again; great date spot or spot to go with friends and have a couple bottles of wine.
