Have been many times with my celiac family - we love it!

They have a dedicated kitchen, color coded plates. The kids menu is meh, food not so tasty, but the kids don’t seem to mind! What I love is getting a proper deli sandwich ( a Reuben!)

Our visit was wonderful. They have a separate dedicated gluten free kitchen space for their gluten free menu. My daughter was so excited to get to order Matzoball soup and grilled cheese in a restaurant that was delicious and safe.

Prior to my celiac diagnosis, I used to come here so this was my first time back since they made a dedicated kitchen. The matzah ball soup was delicious, didn’t fall apart, and was a good serving size! You can tell that they use different dishes and serving-ware too since I went with a friend that is not gluten free. I got a corned beef sandwich on gluten free bread and the bread did not fall apart. I even asked about their house made mustard and they brought out their big container for me to read to make sure it was safe. Did not get sick, and I’m symptomatic with even the smallest contamination. I can’t wait to go back and try more things on the menu. They have blintzes I can’t wait to try!

New GF menu!! The matzo ball soup was amazing - first time I’ve had a good matzo ball since I was diagnosed with celiac. The waffle was just ok, but it may have been better if it had been eaten there (we did take-out). Looking forward to trying more things!
