No gf menu and it appeared not much is available, but the server was very helpful and said any sandwich could be ordered with gf bread.

I had a business breakfast there. I was frankly very nervous. I thought I would be eating fruit. There were a lot of great choices. My waiter was very helpful. We settled on Potatoes, Bacon and GF sauce. No sauce on the potatoes but they were great.

They have allergens marked on a tiny print, complicated pdf online. So it’s difficult ordering. First time I was there waiter wasn’t informed. Potatoes were so spicey I couldn’t eat them. No butter or jelly for toast. Second time bar tender was well informed and said they prepare things sparely. potatoes were good second time and they gave me jelly for toast which made a huge difference. I will try a third time for sure.

Ate here twice with gluten sensitivity and no issues. Orders came out perfect for omelette, eggs, greens substituted for potatoes and fruit. Server and kitchen were excellent as was food.

This place is not safe. While I don’t have celiac, I am sensitive to cross contamination. They don’t have many GF options to begin with but I figured I might be safe with fruit and bacon (although I know even that might be a gamble). 2 hours later I was bloated and nauseous and the following morning woke up with my classic joint stiffness and pain and couldn’t put my wedding rings on.
