First, they wrote our phone number down wrong and we almost lost our table because we didn't get called. I ordered the Mediterranean spread and a side of cheddar grit cake. They sent out the Mediterranean spread with the couscous and never sent out my side. I flagged someone who told me that the couscous was gluten free, then I kept pressing until they realized their mistake. I also asked our waitress for the cheddar grit cake and I never received it.

If you have to eat here, I recommend the items on the menu that are gluten free without modifications.

They have a small GF menu online and I made sure to tell the server that I was ordering off that. Everything was tasty. My husband got the shrimp & grit cake (he’s not GF but it was on the GF menu) and he hasn’t stopped talking about how amazing it was.

This is one of those spots that doesn’t have a gf menu, but will be accommodating. Had the steak and asparagus, it was delicious! All done in its own pan.

Some of the other reviews downvote for no gf bread. I’ll take a place that makes amazing high quality food with no cross contamination and forgo the bread!

The food is mediocre overall. They have a GF menu, but no GF products like bread, pasta, or crackers. We ordered one salad from the GF menu and another from the vegetarian menu. The GF salad came with croutons and the veg came with bacon. Not impressed. At all.

Have a gluten-free menu. Server asked if I had a gluten allergy and when I said “yes” he offered that they would pay attention so no cross contamination occurred. Food was very tasty.

Separate GF menu. Staff is aware and helpful with GF options. I have eaten several things here and they have all been delicious!

Not a huge menu but I had a deconstructed turkey BLT and it was good. The coffee is yummy!
