I so wanted to be writing a good review about this place today. We took my husband for Father’s Day. It’s a beautiful spot and the food all tasted great. We ordered the gluten free donuts, cheese curds, and frittata. My daughter ordered a gluten free sesame bagel. Our server knew that she and my husband have celiac. The place wasn’t busy at all. Three hours later my daughter is vomiting profusely. It’s a shame that it’s this difficult to trust places that also serve gluten. Our day is ruined and my daughter is in awful pain. I would never trust this restaurant again.

I was here for brunch. The food was great, the portions were huge and our server was super nice. I felt safe and didn’t have any reactions afterwards.

Fantastic place for someone who has celiac. Most of the menu can be made gluten-free if it's not already. Dedicated area for food prep. While here we learned that the owner actually has celiac. I'll fried foods are made gluten free. The view is amazing... And outside patio underneath of the bridge is fantastic too!

3 words-fried cheese curds. Fryer is safe for celiac and they have fried chicken, fries, and other apps. Really great cocktails and a cool setting under the bridge. I’ve been back three times since they redid the menu, and haven’t been sick.
