Lots of delicious options. All sauces are gf because they are made with corn starch. Gluten-free desserts.

My husband and I stopped in after making a reservation for 5:30 pm on a Saturday night. We had exceptional service and the owner/staff very knowledgeable about celiac/gluten allergy. I ordered the mahi with veggies and rice. Very delicious and did not react. I would highly recommend eating here.

While there is no dedicated gluten free menu, I phoned ahead of time and spoke to the owner. He assured me that all the sauces are custom made and gluten free, pointed out some dishes that were gluten free off the bat, and also stated that he would work with me to make sure that I had a great meal.While that might sound a bit superficial--wishy-washy, even--he stood by his words and made sure that I was sorted out. Many of the meals were gluten free out of the gate, but substitutions were made possible to make the overall dining experience that much more pleasant (e.g., my side salad was replaced with roast potatoes because we wanted to share a starter salad). To this end, I would recommend calling ahead just to make sure, but to be honest you're probably going to be calling anyway since I would heartily recommend making a reservation. People travel from far and wide to eat at this restaurant--and with reason.The food itself was absolutely fantastic even while it was gluten free. Moist chicken that fell off the bone, delicious salads, and wonderful apricot curry sauce for the lamb chops. Seriously, if you find yourself in Culpeper and don't mind the price tag, check this place out. Your palate will thank you for it.
