ate here for the first time the other night and it was delicious! there isn't anything marked gluten free, so you just have to ask what is safe. our server had a nut allergy so they understood the need for precautions and made sure to tell the chef. i had the pan seared pork chops and it was so tasty. the spinach artichoke dip is also safe and they brought out a separate bowl of toasted udis bread for me which was super nice.
The menu doesn’t have any GF designations and our waitress was completely unaware of gluten allergy precautions. She reassured me that many meals were gluten free but I had to explain the gluten sensitivities and cross contamination. They ask you to specify a food allergy on the menu but the waitress was unaware that they used the same fryer for everything. All of this is to say, they are just completely unaware of true gluten allergies and the precautions necessary. There is no dedicated menu or soecifations.- so you have to guess and hope it’s not contaminated. We finished our meal about an hour ago and I feel great (I had chicken soup and salmon w butternut squash risotto) drinks and food were awesome. Proceed as you feel comfortable
I asked the server if they had any safe gluten free options - she responded with “we have gluten free bread, what do you want?”. After I said I wasn’t comfortable eating off the menu she appeared shocked, then offered a bowl of fruit. I swear they must’ve thought I was a hamster because they brought out 2 strawberries and blueberries that were shriveled up from 1970 and charged me $4 for it. Definitely do not recommend LOL
