Not recommended for people with Celiac. This restaurant had a GF menu on their website and we were excited to go because they advertised having GF sushi. The GF menu at the restaurant was slightly different than the one online. We ordered 4 things off their GF menu. The first was a fillet with French Fries. The nice waitress immediately informed us that the filet is marinated in soy sauce and therefore not GF. After ordering, they came back to tell us that one of the sushi items from the GF menu wasn't really GF either. Then they told us that the fries from the GF menu were not really GF - but they couldn't tell us why. I'm guessing fryer cross contamination?? They assured us the rest would be GF - but at this point we had a very uneasy feeling. We asked to pay for our drinks and cancel our meals. The manager came over to apologize and tell us that they hadn't updated their GF menu and there were many problems since their main menu changed. He gave us our drinks for free. We didn't eat there. We won't be going back. We were at least thankful that they were honest about things not being GF.
