We had a large reservation, but there was only one waiter, which caused each step of the process to take about an hour—from placing our order to receiving the bill. I’m not sure if this was intentional or an oversight. While we enjoyed the food, nothing stood out enough to be memorable a week later other than one of the mocktails. I mentioned that I have celiac and was directed to specific items labeled as GF, but I still had a reaction toward the end of our visit. I’d say the restaurant is gluten-aware, but not truly celiac-friendly, likely due to cross-contamination. Additionally, there was no kids' menu, so I’m guessing it’s not intended to be a family-friendly environment. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing, which I appreciated.

Awesome options for gluten free here and the bread substitute they use is one of the best I've had in the area, so I would love to come back for the food! Only downside is if you're really into coffee the drip coffee here I think is premade since it came out too quickly to be hand poured and didn't really have the flavour profile that the beans they use could offer, so I'll be skipping the coffee. Matcha was pretty good though.

So when I walked in the place was bustling. No one greeted me, which wasn't a great sign. I was all the way back near the cashing out stand before anyone said anything. They offered me a table in the louder busier room, but I declined for a table frequently sunned- two over from the bathroom- because there were fewer people in this room and the likelihood that anyone was going to choose the table next to the bathroom with all those other available was unlikely, so I would have a decent amount of peace and quiet for my meal, which was between 1-3. I ordered: 3 Stack Gluten Free Pancakes- Buttermilk 2 Eggs Lox on a Gluten Free English Muffin with cream cheese, capers, tomato, with a side of red onion Small Orange juice Real Maple Syrup (You have to ask for it and they charge extra.) So my food came out in a timely manner, but my drink first, and the OJ was good. Food first up: the lox with the eggs- which was a bit weird. I wanted my eggs with my pancakes, but it was my fault for not being specific. I had to also pay for and ask for an extra cream cheese because one was only enough for 1 side of the English muffin because it was big. I was also disappointed because the English muffin was not warm, though it looked edges had been toasted- nut not the middle. Weird. It was still tasty. I usually like something pickled more than capers with my lox, but the red onion added a nice touch in place of that. The pancakes came out and they stayed warm and were fluffy. They put whipped cream on the side that was a little sweet, but it is not my thing, so I was grateful it was on the side. She forgot my maple syrup, so I had to ask for that as well as extra napkins, because the one they give you with the knife and fork is never enough. The eggs were fine. At some point during my meal, I has something purposefully spilled on me and my table that was stinky. I sat with my back against the wall, but whatever this was got on my pants, and my phone which was on the table. It really stank. There is at least 4 feet of space between me and the table next to me, so there was no accident of a food spill- this was a foreign substance. I didn't and don't know any of the people who were present, so this was alarming. I don't know if they were staff or not, but they had on a black top, so they could have been. No one apologized, and I was really upset by this. I had to find sanitizing wipes to clean off my phone just touching the liquid. I had to wash my hands again after eating to get rid of the smell. While I enjoyed my food, there was no dill with the lox, or any other special seasoning. Lox is yummy and salty, so are the capers, but there wasn't that extra touch. I really enjoyed my pancakes, but the almost cold English muffins was not okay, and the lack of toasting made them a bit crumbly. As a gluten free woman, the pancakes were stellar, just be sure to be specific about any of your needs and be aware you will need to remind staff. Lox fine. I would say go, but make sure you are vocal and ask for any seasonings you want.
