Server was very confident about gluten free and safety for celiac. Explained when GF is requested, it is marked on the ticket, and the kitchen takes necessary precautions. Ordered the Cobb salad. Normally comes with prosciutto, but she explained that is deep fried, so it was left off. Also had the pear and arugula pizza. Crust was thin and crunchy

Had the chicken ceaser salad and was sick an hour after eating it. Marked gluten free. Asked the right questions but something wasn’t right.

Really good pizza. The crust is better than most I've tried

Very pleasant service. Very mediocre food. GF pizza crust was nice but overpowered by too much cheese and not enough flavor. Roast chicken breast was tender but heavily marinated in an unflattering way. Fries were mealy (frozen?). A disappointment and we won't be back. PS $3 extra charge for GF crust is pretty high too

I hosted my rehearsal dinner for my wedding here with 30 people. We set the menu ahead of time and everything was delicious! The GF pizza crust was thin, but surprisingly flavorful! Everyone's favorite pizza was the BBQ chicken, and the BBQ sauce was also GF. The salads were excellent. Service was attentive, but they did make a small mistake with checks that we managed to sort out. Would definitely go back!

French fries are made in a dedicated frier. They made our son a special meal of chicken breast and rice and were very careful and helpful with cross contamination. Super helpful, very safe, and good food

NOT CELIAC SAFE!! They make and cook the pizza on all shared surfaces so that is immediately out. They didn’t take me seriously when I told them I was celiac and needed them to change gloves/clean workstation/use non-gluten utensils. In fact, the waiter rolled his eyes. But I was there for a work lunch, so I just got one of the gf salads. And I am SO sick. I still have stomach cramps and diarrhea days later. It feels like I just straight up ate gluten. Would not recommend.

They do prevent cross contamination multiple different ways. Crust is pretty thin. We modified the BBQ pizza on the menu a bit. It was super yummy. They have several other options on the menu now that are GG besides the pizza, but we only had the pizza. They made us a gf version of the apple pie pizza. I do not recommend that. It was difficult to eat. All the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Nice, slightly upscale, elegant, but relaxed ambience. I would come again, and do recommend it.
