The menu had no options marked as gluten free but I spoke to the host on phone before arriving and he let me know about a few things I could have. I opted for the Caesar salad because I felt it would be safest and I told my server I had an allergy, so she made a note to have the salad made without croutons or the fried artichokes.

When my salad came out though, it had both on it. I had to send the salad back, emphasizing my sensitivity. They brought me a new one, but this time I saw one small fried artichoke flake, so I had to send it back again because my body is so sensitive. Finally on the 3rd try they got it right. My server was very apologetic and I know it wasn’t her fault. There must be something wrong with the communication within the kitchen. So be cautious.

I mostly went here for the atmosphere- right now the entire restaurant is Alice in Wonderland themed with amazing decor. A waterfall behind the bar, giant mushroom sculptures, beautiful colored lighting, a fountain, etc.
