Food was excellent with lots of GF options. Had a great meal. A little expensive but there is enough variety I think it will fit most budgets. Will definitely go back to try some other of the tasty sounding dishes including lasagna.

The gf chicken ramen was delicious. Also split the margherita and chicken sausage flatbread pizzas GF with my husband, and those were also good. No cross contamination issues.

My server didn't seem knowledgeable about kitchen procedures for GF, to handle cross-contact. But, I ordered one of the numerous options labeled GF on the menu, and she wrote celiac on my order, and I had no issues. Food was pretty tasty, too.

Had a lovely dinner. Food was innovative and delicious. Service was prompt and courteous but not overbearing. Has above average entre selections for simultaneous Celiac and vegan (not just a salad). Ambiance is upscale casual.

One of my fav GF places to eat! Went 2 days in a row just to get my fill. The first day I had the quinoa salad with chicken and the second I had the red fish tacos that came with the best beans I have ever had. Everything tasted great and settled well too.

They assured me that they take lots of precautions to avoid cross-contamination, and they seemed to know what they were talking about. I had the charred cauliflower and a GF margarita pizza. I didn’t love the cauliflower, but the pizza was pretty good (nothing special, the same crust everyone uses, but fresh toppings). I didn’t have a reaction, so I would eat there again. It’s overall fairly expensive, though the pizza is a pretty standard price for GF in this area ($15.50).

Food was great and seasonal! Lots of variety, including the GF options, which is always exciting and overwhelming as someone with celiac. Waitress was knowledgeable, nice, and accommodating. I was informed they are familiar with cross contamination, have a separate fryer, a GF pizza dough option, and that many gluten dishes could be made GF.

Didn't even stay. Not many options, and the cucumbers and lettuce were being prepared on a counter that also had a bowl of flour, and flour spilled all over the place.

The staff was knowledgeable and assured me it was gluten-free. As I walked out, I saw a waiter rolling the silverware onto the napkins on the same table where they roll out pizza. The flour was everywhere. I tested with my Nima and there was gluten in my dish that was supposed to be gluten-free. Sorry. If you are celiac, I wouldn’t eat here.

It’s nice to feel not guilty of eating out. In fact it felt healthier than homemade meals. Menu was clearly marked and had a lot of options. They made a mistake and brought something not indicated as gluten free but made gluten free, so I’m sure they are very accommodating. Had pad thai(so so, don’t expect pad thai you get at thai restaurants), quinoa burger(delicious), fish tacos(kids ate very well). Especially the quinoa burger was very creative. Our dishes had more veggies and less carbs than what I except at most other restaurants. Didn’t get sick. The only thing was, none of us were full after...

Food was good and gluten free items are labeled on the menu. Staff is very knowledgeable, but my charred cauliflower appetizer did come back gluten positive on my Nima Sensor. Manager was very nice and had it remade “correctly.” Also had their pad Thai, and nothing I ended up eating made me sick.

GF options clearly marked on the menu. I ordered a seasonal salad and asked that it be prepared separately, which they did. They were clear again when they brought my dish out that it was gluten free. They also brought gluten free pita to go with the hummus dish. I would definitely go back.

Menu lists which dishes are gluten free. If you say you have an allergy to gluten they make the dish in a separate room and use clean utensils, prep surface area etc. Waiter staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Delicious food too! Eating here a number of times and have never gotten sick.

So many yummy GF options! All GF items are marked on the menu and the staff was very knowledgeable. Love to get the burger and roasted butternut squash pizza with GF crust & vegan ricotta. They also have delicious GF cookies with vegan ice cream for dessert!

I was really looking forward to eating here because the gluten free and vegan options were extensive. I got the Korean Noodle Bowl with Tofu and I tested it with my Nima and it showed “gluten found” so I did not eat. I alerted the waitress and the chef and manager came out and told me that wok has nothing that contains gluten in it and that my meal was gluten free. I said I appreciate that you take precautions but I do not feel comfortable eating it because it tested positive. The chef insisted the the test must be wrong. It was a very uncomfortable conversation.

I was at a conference around the corner from this restaurant and I ended up going there twice a day for three days! They were super accommodating and friendly, and were able to make almost anything on the menu gluten and dairy free. Best GF pita bread I’ve ever had. And the desserts are gluten and dairy free!

This is the 1st place we went to when we arrived. The vibe was a bit cafeteria like but alright for lunch. They have several gluten-free options including gf buns for burgers and pizza. We started with a latte which was tasty but could have been hotter. The “pizza” was just a flatbread with cheese and tomato sauce. Lukewarm and tasteless. The burger was OK nothing special. The service was fine. Overall I’d say ‘meh’
