Chef Jose can make almost anything gluten free. If there's something you want that isn't on the menu, he can usually make that too. I believe he is gluten free himself so I feel confident about cross contamination.

We've been here for dinner over and over again, and it is EXCELLENT. It is a very nice, very pricey restaurant, so make it your special occasion restaurant - but eat there with total confidence! Chef José is incredible. The staff has always been knowledgeable about gluten and about their practices. Pretty much anything can at least be modified to be GF (except the pastas, I think) - and not in a way that makes you feel like you're missing out. They have a dedicated fryer if you ask for it, and they will absolutely take good care of you here if you just express your needs. We most recently had Emily as our waitress, and she was incredible!

I would not say this is celiac friendly at all, at least not for brunch on Sundays. They have an omelette bar and waffle station and the everything was being cross-contaminated. No gloves, no dedicated gluten free zone and when my family member who has celiac informed them of his illness, no changes were made to how they prepared his meal versus anyone else’s. We got a to-go box and brought it home to the dog. Very disappointing.

Enjoyed a Father’s Day brunch with family here. The chef came over to talk to us personally. Super kind. Excellent precautions. We had GF waffles and omellettes. Highly recommend. Will return.

Ate here only once. Service was fine. However, staff was excellent at making sure my food was safe, which wins points in my book. Food was meh, and the price was too high for the quality. I didn’t get sick, but I rang up a decent size bill and left hungry. Odd observation for you to do with what you will — this establishment seems to cater to an all white crowd.

Chef is wonderful! He can make almost anything gluten free, even if it's not on the menu. He is gluten free himself so he really understands what is safe and what isn't.
