I love coming here! They bring out fully gf dippers. Most of the cheeses, broths, and chocolates are gf already but a few aren’t. The menu is clearly labeled and servers are very good about it.

This is a certified gluten free restaurant at which we had dined safely before. However, last week after confirming MANY times on both my reservation and with waitress that my child needed to eat gluten free, and after confirming twice that the food put on our table was gluten free, the waitress came back 10 minutes into eating to say that there was a “mix up” and our fondue had gluten. Nothing but a “sorry” was offered. My child was very sick. I would avoid if you have celiac or a gluten allergy.

The chocolate was delicious and the gluten free dessert plate! Omg!!! So good! Gluten free pound cake and brownies and they tasted so good. Also, I loved our server, Max. He was great

My wife has a gluten allergy and this was clearly explained to the waiter, but lo and behold, we received dessert cakes with gluten in them. When we asked the waiter if the desserts were in fact gluten free, he realized he made a mistake and brought us the gluten free desserts (gee thanks!) after she already had a couple of them. The worst part about it was that the waiter didn't seem to care - at all. DON'T GO THERE!!!

Food was great. Fun experience. They were completely prepared for gluten free. Make sure you call ahead for a table with 2 burners if anyone in your party is not gluten free. Expensive

One of our favorites. Make sure the cheese has corn starch and not flour. We bring our own bread. They get theirs from a local bakery and it is not very good.

Expensive, but good. They have a lot of gluten free and a list of drinks that are gluten free.

Felt like a vacation from the gluten free world. They took care of everything and I didn't have to explain anything to them.

I do not recommend this place if you have celiac disease. The website states they offer gluten-free options, and when I informed the staff about my condition, the waiter assured me that he had years of experience with gluten-free food. However, he ended up serving me multiple courses that contained gluten without informing me until after I had already eaten them. The restaurant was too busy to focus on preparing our food correctly. Additionally, I received several incorrect food items. I was very disappointed, especially since we were still charged the full amount for our meal.

We’ve eaten here twice in the last year and each time I’ve felt very safe. They have gluten free substitutions for just about everything and the staff felt very knowledgeable. I didn’t get sick and even their cocktails were labeled as gluten free.
