Food was great. They do have a GF pizza that was probably great. I wasn't up for pizza, so I had a vegetable medley and a baked potato. I did seem to get sick later, but I can't say if the food from here was the cause.

(Ask for Sherri as your waitress) -If you don’t get Sherri, risk of contamination I think would be higher. They do have a gluten free menu online, but one of the staff kindly informed us that not everything on the gluten free menu is safe if you cannot handle cross contamination. For example, don’t get anything from the fryers because they don’t have dedicated fryers and cross contamination may occur if you get pizza unless you voice that you have a severe allergy and you get a waitress that takes you seriously.

I have celiacs disease and am very sensitive to cross contamination. I got the gluten free prima vera with olive oil instead of butter base because I also can’t have dairy, and I had them add chicken. It also came with a side salad that I got without croutons and with balsamic dressing.

My mother has a gluten intolerance and she got a gluten free dill pickle pizza with chicken added.

Neither of us had poor reactions, I had slight acid reflex, which is a pretty minor reaction that normally indicates possible cross contamination, which is always a risk when I eat out.

I will say I got an amazing waitress named Sherri who has family members who have celiacs disease, and she was so very helpful. She had the manager make my food and constantly double checked everything to make sure that I did not end up sick. She even recommended some gluten free restaurants in the area to try because we aren’t from there. I would definitely recommend asking for Sherri, because she will take care of you, and I’m not sure that other waitresses there would have been nearly as thorough and helpful as her.

Nice restaurant for a nice dinner out. We stopped while traveling and wanting to enjoy a relaxing dinner together with a glass of wine. Great assortment of GF options listed on separate GF menu. They were out of gluten free pasta when we were there, but there were other good dinner options so I wasn’t too disappointed. Servers were helpful.

Can’t comment about gluten free safety as we are just gluten intolerant, but it was a great dining experience! Our server was super nice and attentive and gave us tips on things to do in town! We got a gluten free pizza for my son and they had several other gluten free options including a nice steak and salmon. The restaurant is a very old historic house, and in nicer weather, there were lots of tables outside for outdoor dining.
