The food was amazing and the wait staff were very attentive. We had the octopus, fish, and tzatziki. While everything was delicious, my partner had a reaction that night. We think it was our fault, dipping pita bread and gf bread into the same tzatziki. Hopefully it was, because this restaurant is delightful.

Food is marked GF on menu. Some staff are knowledgeable of GF needs. I was once served a Bloody Mary that had Stella beer in it. Do not order Bloody Mary if Celiac, as the beer is already in the mix. The food that is marked GF is usually delicious and safe, but you should always ask questions.

Delicious. The branzino and salmon are both clearly marked as gf and are both amazing. The pesto orzo is carbonara level rich.

Staff is aware of substitutions but still be careful. The tzatziki for example is marked gf but comes with pita by default. Tortilla chips are available as an alternative but you have to ask.

I got a salad. Their server was knowledgeable and the menu was marked. The food didn't bother me. The thing is, I went for brunch and the salad was pretty much the only GF main dish. They were inflexible in trying to put other items together and their dinner menu items (like fish that is GF) were totally unavailable at lunchtime. Had I known, I would have gone elsewhere.

Menu was labeled with what was gluten free. Even had vegan and vegetarian options as well. Had their grilled calamari appetizer and it was AMAZING. For dinner I had the chicken and lemon potatoes for dinner. Skipped dessert. (No gluten free dessert) Service and atmosphere was nice as well.

(NOTE: They changed their menu from the one on line so just be aware that they don't have most of those items anymore. They actually have less now which kind of sucked)
