We just had my birthday dinner here with my husband, parents and grandmother and I will recommend it to everyone. Our server Luigi started with the history of the building, and had us laughing in minutes with his charming anecdotes from Italy. It was like we got entertainment with our dinner… it was so memorable. The food was delicious, we all had different meals and did not have one complaint. Smoked pork chops, battered fish and chips, prime rib and blackened chicken taco salad. Being my birthday I was given a free dessert and they even accommodated my gluten allergy with a flourless chocolate brownie in cherry sauce. Absolutely delicious. But Luigi charmed us, left us absolutely breathless with laughter and swept my grandma off her feet by walking her out and serenading her in Italian. She said she’d never had so much fun. We are full of gratitude and I hope someone can share that video with me of the serenade :) Book your visit now and request Luigi!! You won’t regret it.

Edit: I spoke with Brandon the owner and agreed to come back. As previous the pizza and drinks were great. Both Brandon and his brother were apologetic and made sure we had a great time. While they could have just ignored it, they owned the issue which says a lot. We will be back. I recently dined in at The Civil with some friends. I had heard great things about it and was eager to try it. On arrival our waiter, did seem relatively new to the role, to give this context, I have worked in Food and Beverage in 6 countries for large luxury hotels. He was pleasant and made every effort to accommodate. Received our initial drinks and they were well presented and tasty (Flights). We ordered pizzas and my girlfriend made sure to advise the waiter she does have a gluten intolerance and ordered the gluten friendly specific pizza crust. When her pizza was brought out, I clarified with the waiter it was gluten friendly and he said yes. Immediately following ran back to the table to let her know he made a mistake and forgot to make that note for the kitchen and he would get it fired immediately. To this point no issues and it was handled well. I understand mistakes sometimes happen and appreciated his sense of urgency in resolving it. They also waived the charge for her pizza which I thought was a kind gesture. The new pizza took approximately 18 minutes to come out of the kitchen. At this point everyone else is done eating. What really left a negative taste in my mouth was the conversation I overheard between our new server and who I believed to be the manager. His words were "you need to go talk to that table, there time is up and we need the table, They need to settle the bill." I can appreciate that they have policies in place and agree with the application of it, but at this point, my girlfriend has just gotten her pizza, is a slice in and we now have a waiter telling us its time to go. We were not here this long because we wanted to be, but rather as a result of you and your staff's actions, or lack there of. I am disappointed that we were made to feel like we were an inconvenience in a situation that we had little control over. The pizza was great, and overall the service was okay, but in light of the way in which we were treated, I will not be returning and could not wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone else.

The oysters are very fresh, the stake is done to your liking, the sides are incredible, but I must mention the Bartender/Mixologist Karolina and her amazing creations, the latest is called "call me crazy" a mixture of tequila,grapefruit and other citrus with an smoked pepper finish, just delicious!! Also the gluten free chocolate cake is to die for...

Terribly disappointed here. Was looking forward to trying a new place to eat since my celiacs diagnose. They have "gluten conscious" food but all the fried food, including fries, are fried in the same oil as gluten food. This is not gluten conscious.

The vibe in this place is on point. Peaky Blinders would have loved the sultry couches in the front, period lighting and smoky feel to the joint. Think worn leather + bourbon + occasional old west gun fights. Drinks are layered with elevated flavours and the menu has a ton of delicious gluten free options. Portion sizes are generous and hearty.
