The ambiance and service was amazing, however my celiac husband was glutened, despite letting the kitchen know of his allergy.

They double checked and prepared a meal for him that was deemed safe, but he got very sick afterwards. I called and let them know either his entree or appetizer had gluten in it for future reference, they said the chef would follow up but didn’t. Called again, and connected with one of the chefs who was very nice, took all the information, he said he would call me back, but I never heard back and it’s been over 1.5 months since the meal. It left us feeling like the incident slipped through the cracks and likely wouldn’t go back as it’s too much of a risk for any celiac. It’s too bad as the rest of the evening was wonderful and a 10/10.
