Review of The Optimist

The waitress immediately asked about allergies upon greeting us. I explained my gluten allergy and addition information about what to stay away from. She had options for crackers for the dips and was super helpful. All in all I could eat everything but 4 items on the menu. Amazing food, super fresh, wonderful atmosphere. Will be going again.
