I was extremely disappointed, perhaps my expectations were too high! First off I ordered a glass of Reisling that tasted like Chardonnay, maybe it was open for a long time. Then we ordered a sashami appetizer which was not great. The tuna was not fresh and in addition they served " as the chef's selection escolar and I really wish that I did not google that fish! Entrees were limited for GF, apparently the duck is marinated in soy sauce along with other items because they could not be prepared gluten free. So I ordered one of the "catch" specials and my husband ordered a seafood pasta. My wahoo was dry and the dark bloodline was not removed ( maybe I am fussy because I have NEVER cooked fresh fish without removing it) and the fish was dry with no flavor although it was blackened. My husbands mussels were completely in edible and the scallops were mushy. As far as GF knowledgeable the jury is out there as well. I was first told I could have the duck without the pancakes but then our waiter told me about the marinade!! Service was mediocre at best. We will not go back.
