Before I foundout I have celiac disease I came here often. I was there a few weeks ago and let my server know of my allergy and was very specific and he seemed very pre cautious and knowledgable, then someone else came to serve me my food. Not thinking to check if the food was correct because a restaraunt shouldn't be messing up my order especially after having a long talk about my allergy to gluten, After eating about 3 peices of my roll I looked closely and realize it was not only not a gluten free dish, so prepared incorrectly, it had imitation crab meat which is a HUGE problem for this allergy. It took over 10 minutes to get someone's attention to fix this issue and my server was very apologetic but the Manager or whoever was in charge that day seemed indifferent about it especially when I mentioned the restaraunt shouldn't be claiming "gluten free" if they aren't going to take necessary precautions. I did end up very sick later that day and felt ill for a few days following. I do NOT recommend this place for anyone with gluten allergy, intolerance, or celiac
