We enjoyed our dinner so much! They have a ton of GF options and they are clearly marked on the menu. Staff is very knowlegable about gluten free items and what can and cannot be GF. They have a dedicated fryer. Food quality and taste we excellent. I did not ask about how they prepare the food or if there is a dedicated space. No reactions! Prices are not bad at all, especially if you go during happy hour. Apps and entrees and drinks are reduced price.

We went for diner with my celiac boyfriend. The food was absolutely incredible (and I am French) and they had so many GF option for us to share dishes, we loved it! They were very nice and knowledgeable for GF, I would absolutely recommend it for a nice dinner, plus prices were far from the usual outrageously expensive French restaurant.

This restaurant was extremely knowledgeable and cautious, I ate here twice and had no reaction, I am VERY sensitive to gluten. The food was AMAZING! And there were plenty of items to choose from. The mashed potatoes are out of this world and the chocolate mousse was sooooo good!!

It was such an amazing experience. They were extra cautious in advising my son what to eat. The best part is they had desserts for him to eat. Everything was wonderful! He is super sensitive and had absolutely no reaction.

Food was excellent and like other reviews note, chef came over to explain which options are gluten free. I am very sensitive to gluten and did not have a reaction.

What a wonderful dining experience in Miami. The chef and owner came over and discussed the menu with me. Everything is made to order and assured me that they only use rice flour in the restaurant. I ordered chicken with fried potatoes and asparagus. Also the iceberg salad. It was delicious and Nima tester approved! Highly recommend!

Almost everything on the menu could be made gluten free- the Mac and cheese was AMAZING and they had gluten free profiteroles for dessert!!! Also had the crab risotto which was a 10/10. Very fair pricing too

I went to this restaurant because of the positive reviews. Unfortunately, my experience wasn’t very good. My husband and I (we are both gluten sensitive) arrived at 6:30. Our waitress was new and never told us that there was a “happy hour” separate menu thru 7:30. We were not given a menu and noticed the QR code at the empty table across from us. We took that lucite stand and scanned it for the menu. I had read from a previous review that the onion soup was GF and good. A different waitress took our order for the food. She tried to talk me out of ordering the soup because she felt that without the baguette, there would be no “body” to it. I wished I had listened to her. The soup tasted watered down and lacked the savory flavor I was expecting. My husband ordered the goat cheese salad which was bland. For my main course I ordered the mustard glazed lamb chops. I could not taste any hint of mustard. The lamb chops were tender and the side fried shredded potato was tasty, though. My husband ordered the tuna tartare which was good. I realized that the GF fried calamari I read about in a review was not on the menu. I asked about this and was told it was only on the happy hour menu (not found via the QR code we scanned.) It was 7:31 and she was able to put the order in. The order was half French fries and half fried calamari. The calamari was good. I wish the whole order was calamari. Takeaway is to know about the happy hour menu including the well priced drinks…cause no one will tell you about it unless you ask.

This place is both simultaneously the best and most expensive take-out I've ever ordered in my life. First off, the staff here is excellent. The hostess spent easily five minutes on the phone just walking me through all the food they can make GF on their menu. Everything is cooked from scratch made-to-order, so you don't need to worry about cross-contamination. They were quite knowledgeable after all things GF. The food itself was excellent! My salmon was cooked to perfection. The mash potatoes where creamy and delightful. My girlfriend's food (who is not GF) was also cooked wonderfully. We both agreed it was the best meal on our trip. It was expensive, but I felt like it was completely worth it given how excellent the food was.

This was our favorite experience in Miami! We had the oysters, deep fried calamari, truffle pasta, branzini fish (comes with broccoli), and French Onion soup, and it was ALL gluten free. Add 4 cocktails during happy hour and our bill was under $100. It was our cheapest dining experience this entire trip, but it was hands down the highest quality food and the most food we got the entire trip. Definitely put it on your list!!!

Waitress seemed very knowledgeable and said most items could be prepared gluten free. The fried calamari only comes GF which seems like a good sign. Food was all delicious.

Lovely dinner and the staff was so nice and accommodating. The menu online has GF marked options but now that they use the QR code, you will have to ask the waitress. The GF fried calamari and truffle pasta on happy hour was so good. The bone marrow escargot was also fantastic
