Server was knowledgeable about allergies and said all the meats served are gluten free and most of the items on the Market Table (self serve buffet style) are gluten free except for the cheeses, any bread items and the Caesar Salad because it has croutons. We went for Brunch as soon as it opened to avoid cross contamination at the Market Table and very few tables had people sitting there. There is also a menu you can order from if you are uncomfortable with the Market Table. It is pricey but everything I ate was delicious!

Had an excellent experience here! All meats are gf (they used to use regular beer to make their chicken legs but they no longer do). And almost everything on the market bar is gf … I just had the manager walk me through it and show me what I couldn’t eat. Love their fried polenta (I have them leave off the cheese on top) and fried bananas. They also have gf cheese bread if you can eat dairy. This place is pretty small in comparison to their other locations (like Vegas), so I suggest getting a reservation. Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed and you’ll leave stuffed. It’s right across the street from Modern Bagel. This is a fun place as the servers come around with skewers of different meats.

Great food, great experience, gluten free and safe. Customer service by Rodrigo (server) and Thiago (customer service) was amazing! Only 3 things were marked as having gluten in them, everything else was safe. They brought the full allergen list when I asked about celiac safe food. Gluten free Brazilian cheese bread (no gluten free Italian bread)

TERRIBLE experience. Explained my food allergies (dairy, wheat, eggs and beef) as soon as we got to our table & they said they could accommodate. The let's just say I left hungry and I'm pretty sure I was given an item that had dairy in even though I asked when it was delivered to me. Also, the others with me said the food was good but they didn't feel it was worth the $ we spent.

Do NOT go here! I have been to other locations but this one is absolutely not safe. Was told neither cheese bread nor polenta were safe because of shared prep area and shared frier. Staff wouldn’t answer cross contamination questions with clear answers. “How severe is your celiac?”, eek. It was clear they couldn’t say they don’t have good CC protocols. Frankly embarrassing. Lots of better options close by!!
