They brought out my gluten free omelette with rye bread on top. Manager was unapologetic and didn't understand why it was a big deal (I have celiac). Luckily I realized it wasn't gluten free, but you should not have to be so vigilant at a restaurant offering a gf menu.

Fantastic! The gf pancakes are exceptional; light and fluffy like traditional ones. They served a gf roll with blueberry compote first. I wasn't a fan of the sausage but is was gf and very substantial. Wonderful service too. One of my all time favorites in the area.

I told them that I had a gluten allergy/ celiac and ordered eggs Benedict for brunch. I had eaten almost half of it before the manager realized they had given me the wrong plate. They were apologetic and took it off the bill and everything but I will definitely not be back. There was clearly no oversight in the kitchen or by a manager to make sure I was getting the right food and that tells me they don't take celiac very seriously. I will definitely not be back which is too bad because their food is delicious and I had eaten safely there before.

Waitstaff was extremely kind and knowledgeable, and she let it slip she had only been there a few months (we were very impressed!). Separate gf menu was large and included much of the "normal" menu. Food was delicious and safely prepared, including a gf chocolate fudge cake with ice cream and sorbet for dessert. Priced appropriately for the quality of food and service. Would done their again in a heartbeat.

A little pricy, but worth it! I've been here twice now and both times have really enjoyed it. They take gluten free seriously, and it's very nice place with an extensive GF menu that changes seasonally. They also bring out GF bread before your meal, which was really nice!

GF lobster Mac and cheese was amazing!!! A little pricey, but pretty good atmosphere. GF bread was nothing to write home about, but cool that they provide it. I'll definitely be going back.

Pretty good menu but as others have indicated, pricy. Got the gf burger and bun is one of the tastier and durable ones I've had in a while. Now if they could get some gf beer and we'd be talking!

Great menu, delicious food. Recommend going for lunch on a weekday: more affordable, and great sandwich options.

The Sloppy Joe was one of the best around, in fact it might be one of the best entrees I have ever had. Great atmosphere and very accommodating to gluten allergies.

Lovely place. They have a separate GF menu, delicious, creative food, and we even got a GF brownie sundae for dessert! Get there early for a spot in front of the fireplace. Oh, and the GF flatbread that you can get before your meal comes was really good ( just be sure your server knows you'd like some as soon as you get there - takes extra time to bake).
