It is not celiac friendly because the lunch menu is not gluten free and they don't switch out the oil in the fryer. The dinner menu is NOT even 100% gluten free so there is a chance of cross contamination.

The first time I came here I was told everything is 100% gluten free. The second time it was during restaurant week and the menu was not gluten free at all. The third time I ate here, the waitress told me that it is not gluten free during lunch and that they had not emptied the fryer so 99% of the menu was not going to be safe for someone with celiacs.

Some dishes might be gluten free because they do not contain any obvious gluten but they are not necessarily certified gluten free, or less then 5ppm. I'm not sure they know the difference between naturally gluten free foods, and certified gluten free foods that have been tested, which is important when using flours amongst other things. They don't understand here that even 1 crumb can make a sensitive person sick.

I read another reviewer said that the house marg is not gluten free - I've been told that it is and drank it twice. Wish I'd known.

Stopped coming here because of getting sick and because every time I ask the same questions I get a different answer. This is a fake gluten free place.
