The only thing sweeter than our waitress was the gluten free chocolate cake for dessert. There is an extensive gluten free menu, the prices are reasonable for the quality and everything was absolutely delicious!

Great food. Great service. Ray was great. Good gluten free options. GF quinoa and coconut pancakes were excellent.

Franco was great. Food was decent for a meal that I ate because it was food. He was able to confidently tell me what was gluten free and when he asked if everything was good and I said "I'm gravy" he said "you can't have gravy." I love that. He was very easily able to handle everything my party of 23 (I have a lot of friends, as I am very popular and likable) requested. Even the most ridiculous such as "1 slice of cheese on the side of the burger but slightly melted to perfection". Franco was amazing and definitely made our meal one I will remember for the next 20 minutes.

Me and my husband go here regularly since it's his favorite restaurant. The food is always excellent. I've had several of their pizzas as well as their pasta dishes. The food is always well seasoned and very flavorful. My favorite dish is the Fire n Smoke pizza. It is nice and zesty but not too spicy. I definitely recommend that pizza if you like some mild spiciness to your food. Also they offer the option of a gluten free crust made of cauliflower. It is very good and tastes very similar to the normal crust. I've had both. The service is usually excellent. The servers are attentive and happy to answer questions about the menu. The food is prepared in a reasonable amount of time. I personally don't really like the atmosphere because it's rather loud. They either have a sports broadcast on or music that is on the loud side. It's hard if you have a larger group to be able to hear everyone. We met up with a book club there once and that was a bad idea because of the noise level. The service personnel did try to accommodate our needs by reducing the music but the acoustics of that building still made it hard to hear everyone. But when I'm just there with my husband it is okay. There is usually a good number of people at this restaurant no matter what time we go, but it is quite large and I think we only had to wait to be seated once. The closest parking is a parking garage a couple blocks from the restaurant.

Server was awesome! He took great care of us. Treated my gluten free guest very well. Shrimp appetizer was above and beyond in flavor.
