great for celiacs, only problem is that, although they mark which dishes are gf on the menu, they do not mark which proteins are gf. The "tofu" is not gf because they fry it in oil that is also used to fry glutenous things. The "roasted duck" protein is also not gf because it is pre-marinated in glutenous sauce. However, the "vegetable" and "pork" proteins are gf. Many of the staff are knowledgeable about allergens, but I still think they should mark the proteins as gf or not on the menu rather than rely on every single waiter knowing which proteins are safe or not. I've gotten the red curry, pad thai, and monkfish fried rice with no issues. Especially make sure to emphasize your allergy with the monkfish fried rice since that one is gf with modifications rather than gf by default. atmosphere is also nice with options for indoor and outdoor dining. I've also tried some of the sashimi that are marked gf. never had any issues at this restaurant. biggest advice is to avoid choosing a protein that has gluten in it. also make sure not to eat any of the soy suace that they have sitting at the table, but feel free to ask them to bring the special gf soy sauce to your table. The dine-in experience is fancy enough for a date, and there are definitely some filling things you can order that are relatively inexpensive. good portions, healthy food, and imo extremely tasty. one of my favorite restaurants in the area!
