Really lovely restaurant right on the river walk. I had a the cheeseburger (but with beyond burger patties to make it vegetarian!) and was surprised to find out they had a gluten free toaster! They were really great with celiac disease, pointed out the fries weren’t okay due to a shared fryer, etc.

Had breakfast and it was a good experience. Huge fruit bowl was very fresh. Toast was safe. Avocado toast was amazing. Not a high variety but it was good.

Came in for breakfast. Server was very knowledgeable. Some items on the menu (breakfast potatoes) was marked GF but she said they weren’t completely because of where they were cooked. Overall great experience. Food was good. Had the Roasted Problano Migas and swapped out the flour tortillas for GF toast. It’s hard to find places along the River Walk that have menus marked with GF items. This is one of the few. If dining here just double check with the kitchen that they are prepared on a separate surface if you’re extremely Gluten sensitive. Server said the GF toast was prepared in its own toaster separate from the regular toast.

Wife wanted seafood so we stopped by. Terrible decision. Our Food was so salty that cannot taste food. Got dizzy from the salt. My wife is from Philippines and even too salty for her. Got stomach cramps leaving. Not sure from the salt or gluten. Hated the experience.

I told the waiter that I have celiacs and he immediately told me that he would talk to the chef so they can make sure they reduce the risk of any cross contamination. They do not have a designated fryer but most everything else on their menu was GF. I had brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes (amazing!!) and a cesar salad.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They do not have a GF menu but they simply serve everything dry. It was not my first choice (too expensive and only one rating) but on Thanksgiving day all my better choices were closed. I looked around for more than an hour so now i'm starving and have no other choices. I hate being celiac

Update: after 2 hours, i felt uncomfort in my intestines. Was not sick but had to rush at the toilet. I would not go back to this restaurant

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

Yes

UPDATE 8/14, 2013: kitchen staff awareness and cross-contamination practices have gone down hill. I got so sick that I ended up in urgent care, and the chef wanted to argue with me about where I got glutened. Not returning. UPDATE 9/8: lost 7 lbs from this, and now I'm back to not being on the BMI chart. :(

2012: very cool staff. exec chef's wife is celiac. ask for dedicated equipment. delightful people and superb food.
