Review


Besides the food being delicious, and the atmosphere so fun, the service was welcoming and inviting. The managers were friendly and knowledgeable. The server was fun and kind. And you’ll notice I haven’t brought up GF yet- it’s becuase I get like o finally got to have an experience like the kind I was used to pre celiac diagnosis. I was just out with a friend. But becuase i bring it up- two managers and the server checked in on me before, during and after to explain options, their kitchen, and to make sure I felt safe. The food came out and was clearly marked as mine and was delicious. I then asked if they could ever make some kid friendly GF options on case I wanted to do brunch with my celiac daughter there and they didn’t bat and eye and said absolutely. Their knowledge, understanding, kindness, and yummy food means I’ll be going back again and again!!!
