While gf options are marked on the menu - was severely glutened here on the last day of vacation. Ordered a Budda Bowl hoping it would be a safe option - was assured it was gf and have been severely unwell since consuming. Used to be a trusted gf resto - no longer.

Menu clearly marked, GF deep fryer, GF buns, and a manager brought out the meal and said “celiac” to me while putting it down. Overall felt very safe although I can’t comment on cross contamination as I don’t get noticeable symptoms.

Review
We were accompanied by friends and we found the meal delicious. The service was very good. I asked about the Standard operating procedures in regard to gluten free within the kitchen. They have dedicated fryers for the French fries, make sure the cooking space is cleaned. The burgers are gluten free and they have gluten free buns. I’m a pescatarian and they had very nice vegetarian burgers. The restaurant has changed and made the menu much smaller so some choice is limited.
With all that in mind I would recommend this restaurant and make sure you tell them you need to be gluten free.

Excellent service. J’étais avec un groupe de 10 et le serveur m’a bien assuré et va à la cuisine pour vérifier que tout ok pour moi. J’ai très bien mangé et pas du tout malade. J’y retournerai avec confiance.

The staff at the restaurant were very knowledgeable about gluten-free options and had a variety of gluten-free dishes on the menu. The restaurant also had a dedicated gluten-free fryer. This made me feel safe and satisfied with my dining experience.

Review
Wow! What a surprise! Great gluten-free options and knowledgeable staff. Menu items are marked GF but let wait staff know that you are celiac and it will be marked on the kitchen order! Simple as that! Highly recommend!
