Review


Though they serve food, I would characterize the quality of food as "this is definitely more bar than restaurant," so just have realistic expectations for quality of food (and service). What I will say is that my ticket was marked "gluten free" and so were the takeout boxes, so that was reassuring. I did get sick after, and I know the kitchen was really swamped when I went (Saturday evening), so I do wondered if someone neglected to change gloves in the rush or something. However, I am traveling, and it is possible I was glutened somewhere else earlier in the day. I am a vegetarian, and there was not much for vegetarian + gluten free entrees, so I ordered a couple appetizers instead. Fortunately I am starting to be able to eat dairy again after a long period of celiac-damage-related dairy intolerance, or I wouldn't have been able to find anything. I had the baked artichoke hearts and potato skins without the bacon. The baked artichoke hearts were a little weird alone (something about the combo of the garlic and marinade, probably), but I put the artichoke hearts on my potatoes and actually enjoyed it. The other thing I wouldfood. is that I tried calling ahead for takeout, but no one answered the phones. I don't think they do much takeout, even though there us stuff about takeout on the website. I ended up ordering when I arrived. It was then a 45 minute wait to get my food.
