Vincent was an excellent server. This restaurant could use a little refresh in the entry but I do like the local art in the dining area. For a restaurant being so progressive with it's menu and careful with gluten/vegan cuisine I do not understand why there are not markings on the menu. Disappointed in allergens not being marked especially since this is a sister restaurant to Wheat Penny who despite the name actually does gluten allergy notices excellently. Tonight I had a herb vinaigrette salad. I feel like someone was trying to be unique with the dressing. I've had a lot of vinaigrettes and salads. I never dislike a salad. I did not like it. The olives were oddly flavored. The cheese was good, but the dressing had herbs de provence or something odd in it I couldn't put my finger on. I feel like that's such an acquired to be taste, it should be mentioned or the dressing needs to be renamed or reformulated to be more like a goddess. It said it was lemon and didn't taste like lemon or vinegar or oil. Mostly avocado and herbs. I highly recommend the caprese toast on gluten free bread. That's one of the best things I've had in a long time. The tomatoes were red, fresh, and juicy. The burnt peach and macadamia nut cheesecake was not it. I feel like it has a lighter feel with more egg/custard taste than cheese. Needs more sugar and more cream cheese, more brown sugar crumble. Pass the burnt top and replace by peach jam or something like that. I hope they are as celiac friendly as was shared by server. I'll report back. **Can't notice specific issues with gluten. Also the two-tops were too close to each other to have no music playing. There needed to be background music because it was near impossible not to hear the entirety of the next conversation. One table should be removed in that row. Although the restaurant met our needs that day I wouldn't be swift to return, but can recognize the value of a locally owned place with a strong following.

Best in Dayton! Food is incredible, prices are right, wine shop + restaurant + bar all in one place. Did I mention the food is phenomenal? Quality ingredients, many dishes made from scratch, all are full-flavor! And the best part for someone with food allergies, they offer a wide variety of gluten-free deliciousness. Try the "Dig the Fig" GF Pizza. Service is top notch too! Love everything about this place... put it on your must try list.

If you’re looking for a causal, cozy brunch, this is your place! The brunch food is delicious & the mimosa/Bloody Mary bar is a fun experience. Brunch in the summer is my favorite: out on the private patio, with great food and a calm atmosphere. I’m there every weekend. The accommodations for food have been a game changer. It’s hard to find a bar that has gluten free and vegan options. I can always count on something that u can eat there. Lastly, always say yes to the Herbie Dip as a side. I look forward to it every time I go!

Waitress was good, ordered a gluten free pizza (cauliflower crust) was awesome was like thin crispy. With chicken.

I am gluten free and very used to getting ripped off with the potions of a sandwich because gf bread is always so much smaller. HOWEVER - this was the first time that I was actually served TWO whole sandwiches (each smaller) because of the size of the bread! My daughter and I both ordered the turkey Rueben and it was incredible! I almost ordered a salad but will do that the next time! They looked amazing and were huge!

I came in with the fam, our server Natasha was very professional, and very explanatory when we spoke on the gluten free menu, great experience I will return

Kimberly

Loved the atmosphere. Our waitress was very helpful and tried to assist me with what was gluten-free. The steak was quite tasty and thick. The food was great and the prices were very reasonable. Bonus - they have live music and bike nights. Will definitely return here!!

Nice place to dine if you're visiting Dayton, Ohio and want something a bit more upscale. My wife has celiacs and had no issues getting a gluten free meal. The waiter kindly told us most menu items could be prepared GF, even though there are no markings on the menu.

I am gluten-free. I asked 3 times if the meal I ordered was GF. I started to feel bad about an hour after the meal. Stomach issues for the entire next day. The meal had either some high cross contamination or they didn't make it properly.
