Great food and they do have a few options. Almost all their sushi they can make GF. They have 2-3 main course options.

Gorgeous inside, and such a great server. He was so kind, checked for allergies, walked me through the entire menu for gf and df. The food was delicious. Highly recommend.

I've been here a few times and have not gotten sick. Staff has been knowledgeable and accommodating. In my experience, it's one of the safer and more reliable options downtown during lunch.

WONDERFUL experience! Had a burger no bun ans the cauliflower pancake and the server (Kobi) talked to the chef who wrote down a full list of what was safe for a celiac. I am very sensitive and did not get sick!
What chef wrote:
Hamachi
Squash
Persian cucumber
Arugula and pear salad
Kale - w no bulgar wheat
Tuna Nicoise salad
Burger no bun
Baguette no bun
Cauliflower - can put in separate pan

Certain things are labeled GF. I had a naked burger and fries. (Fries are in their own fryer so they are safe!)

The menu is extremely misleading. I was super excited to have Brussels sprouts, fries and more. Went to order them and the server explained that they aren’t actually gluten free even though on the menu they say they are. Thank god for his knowledge because it would have been a rough night.

If you are ordering off the menu MAKE SURE you let the waitstaff know b cause the menu is misleading! The menu items labeled GF aren’t gluten free unless the kitchen prepares them to be gluten free. Felt poorly for 2 days.

I’ve never gotten sick here. But I haven’t eaten that much of the menu. They have a dedicated fryer for French fries which is nice. They also have good salads. The place is super over priced though. Great for a carry out!

Make sure your server knows how severe your gluten allergy is. I have Celiac and when discussing their GF options that are marked on the menu some items may contain gluten through cross contamination. I got the burger wrapped in lettuce with cheese, egg, bacon and avocado with a side salad. Also had their shrimp tacos which are safe. No issues. Great ambience.

Was very impressed with the ambiance of this place & that they had a range of GF options. The food was excellent & the service was great. The fryer is NOT a dedicated fryer but cleaned often so they claim the fries are GF. I would avoid anything fried to be safe since it's not a dedicated fryer.

Recently went here for my birthday with my boyfriend. He has celiac and we informed our waiter about it, very friendly and has heard of celiac before. He suggested the best entrees including this sushi made for people with celiac. The chief came to talk to us and informed that we had nothing to worry about and that he made this dish celiac friendly. Very happy with our visit at the Townhouse. My boyfriend did have the truffle fries that supposedly could've been fried in the same friar as non GF foods and he did NOT have a stomach ache. We were both very happy with our yummy food and friendly-helpful waiter and chief.

Tasty food. Crowded and noisy atmosphere. Have celiac disease and did not get sick. Good for sporting events or gathering with friends.

Great burger and fries! No GF buns, otherwise very tasty. Lots of GF desserts. Could use more GF menu items, staff very helpful.

No gluten free menu, but the staff is knowledgable about it. I had the Brussels sprouts, fries, & salmon, which were all good.
