Danger! Do not go here!!!

Their straws for their drinks are literally made from pasta. I asked for gluten free menu, which is filled with fried food shared in the frier with everything else (that’s not gf!!!!). I told waitress extreme allergy to gluten. No one thought to warn me their straws were made from pasta. By the time we questioned what the straws were made from, too late. Got very sick of course.

Manager said it came from corporate, i can’t believe they wouldn’t put that as a warning on the gluten free menu. I told her I didn’t want it to happen to anyone else and that it is dangerous. ☹

Celiac friendly?

No

Although the people are nice and the atmosphere is great, stick to the cocktails. I’ve been twice and ordered the same thing (fried rice without the soy sauce to make it GF) and both times I’ve had issues the two weeks following. I thought it may have been a fluke the first time which is why i tried it a second time. I think there must be cross contamination issues. Stick to the cocktails if you go.
