— Excellent

In the last 2 years they’ve pretty consistently had their gf bread. They also have ciders and wines (but no gf beer). They occasionally even have gf soup (but it depends). The main chef is pretty amazing and super knowledgeable but only 4 stars because I’ve been served a burger on their non gf bun before (by mistake) and the waitress brought back the same insides on a gf bun. I couldn’t eat it. She did offer to have it remade (eventually) and didn’t charge me, but it’s made me nervous after years of fantastic service.

Exceptional food and knowledgable staff. We dine here at least once a month and I have never been cross contaminated. The staff always talks to the chef and makes sure the meal comes in contact with no gluten containing ingredients. There is no separate menu. Just inform your server what you are interested in, and they will make sure appropriate substitutions are made. If it's not possible, they will let you know.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

they are generally good about gluten free and unlike another review, they do have gluten free buns for burgers as that is what I usually get for lunch when I'm there. one thing I'll point out is that they were more knowledgeable about the menu before the swindlehursts took the restaurant over. there has been a minor decline in service (though better than other swindlehurst restaurants(, and the wait staff are less likely to be able to tell you what is or isn't safe off the top of their head. they also don't update the menu very often when they used to update it all the time. I haven't gotten sick eating there and dinner has more options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I went here excited to try a gluten free sandwich/burger and was disappointed to find out they do not have gf buns/bread. Infant, the only gf items they have are salads. Which is what I ended up eating and it was just okay.

Celiac friendly?

No

We went there for lunch today. The menu was pretty transparent. I asked about gluten free and she said all their salads are, as well as dressings and any sandwich can be made on a gluten free bun. I got the seared pepper tuna sandwich and side salad with citrus vinaigrette. It was very, very good. Unsure if they have a dedicated fryer and I was a little leery how non-chalant the server was. But next time I go I will grill the server a bit more. So far no reaction. I can't see anything I had having gluten anyway but if their menu is that big I cannot wait to go back. The tuna was amazing.
