The waitress here was pretty dismissive of my questions, saying she knew all about gluten and of course the items marked gluten free were safe. Turns out she was wrong, and I got super sick. Don't trust them at all.

Gluten free items are marked on the menu. About half the menu is gluten free. They also have an entirely vegan menu with its own gluten free offerings. It’s all made in the same kitchen, so there’s likely cross contamination, but I had no issue. The food was absolutely delicious, and the cocktail menu was amazing! I would recommend if you are gluten intolerant but don’t have celiac because the cross contamination might be too much.

Menu lists a ton of gluten free stuff- server and manager didn't know what gluten was when we asked, but said the kitchen will be good for allergies and he will tag the ticket as gluten free. Ticket came at the end and no mention of allergy or gluten free on our order. Got incredibly sick and assuming he didn't actually put in gluten free even tho he said he would. Kitchen didn't seem to speak english or know what gluten was either even tho it was on the menu. - also food just tasted like crap , no flavor, no color, just bad overall

I asked up front if they do anything to prevent cross-contamination. After saying they have a vegan menu and me responding that's not the same, the hostess went to the kitchen to ask. They said they do NOT take any measures to prevent cross-contamination. Ended up not eating here.
