It’s the kind of cafeteria style where you order at the counter and they bring it to your table. I love a restaurant that marks all of their dishes for GF, DF, vegetarian and this one does. However, I am not sure that the staff is super well trained. I ordered the chimichurri steak, broccoli and side salad (all marked GF) and told her that it was for a severe gluten allergy. She offered me GF bread but didn’t know if the GF bread was toasted in a separate toaster from the regular bread so I opted out of the GF bread. I would have liked to come back for a sandwich but with the unknown of the toasting of the bread, I am going to stick with the plates, salads and bowls. The food was delicious and I didn’t get sick.

Menu is clearly marked but you still need to tell them. They will bring you the gluten free bread

I went today!! I notified the woman at the register and she gave me confidence that they could handle my order. Thankfully there is someone who checks orders before they go out. I ordered the Moroccan chicken with cauliflower rice (when the woman at the register offered it I thought it was plain). The “checker”’woman called me over to tell me that the rice contained gluten. She offered to remake it with compliant veggies. I did tell her I was a little nervous as the kitchen had celiac on the ticket yet still served me non compliant rice. I decided to go with it and haven’t gotten sick yet. 🤞🏼 I don’t because it would be so nice to have another option for take out!! The chicken and veggies (carrots and beets) were delish!

I would marry this place if I could. It was absolutely delicious and healthy!

I had the steak plate with the veggies and potatoes. All of it was perfectly cooked and delicious. I didn't get sick and it was well-worth it. I will be returning again.
