We were a party of eight for Easter brunch, we ordered the tomato mozzarella drizzled in balsamic vinegar. The tomato was thin and appeared to have been overproduced from Saturday or even Friday a fresh basil leaf would have enlivened the presentation. We also ordered fried mozzarella. The breading was fresh and nicely fried, there was no flavor transfer indicating good fryer discipline. The gluten free mushrooms and cheese pizza enjoyed by my companions was well presented but not distinctive. The Tomato sauce used for the chicken parm and as a basis for the other tomato pasta dishes was flavorful. I noticed all of the pasta dishes were made with linguini. Unfortunately, the pasta appears to have been cooked long past al dente in bulk long ahead of service. NOT cooked to order. I’m not even sure the pasta was rinsed and chilled in ice water because the texture was so starchy because it may not have been cooked in enough water. It may not have been reheated in water but rather brought up to heat in some kind of green congealed creamy sauce with little distinct flavor of pesto no visible arugula or basil leaf entwined in a vibrant pasta pesto. The sunflower seeds were interesting but my northern Italian culinary training pesto is Pinole. When the dish was presented it appeared to have been molded in a bowl and turned onto plate guaranteed to hold its shape. The Service was friendly customer focused and very responsive. Outdoors under the veranda was perfect. Overall we enjoyed each others company

The quality of the food has definitely dropped, based on my experience there last night. The egg drop soup used to be rich and flavorful, last night it was thin and bland. The lettuce wraps are now served with ridiculously small lettuce leaves that you can’t make a wrap with, and the peanut sauce tasted like salad dressing. They have also eliminated many gluten free options, a reason I used to enjoy this restaurant. I’d no longer recommend it. The waitstaff were very good, too bad the food wasn’t.
Stopped by for brunch. This was our first time coming here and was lucky enough to be seated right when we walked in (it was super packed)! The dishes we got (Smoked Salmon Benedict and Smoked Beet Sandwich) were very delicious and the gluten free English muffins were amazing! Our server was super nice and very informative of what they could/couldn’t do gluten free. We are definitely coming back to try the dinner menu.
Be careful coming here with a gluten allergy. Although we made it explicitly clear this is a life threatening allergy this situation was handled with no care. This pancake was very clearly not the one I ordered but the waitress insisted I eat it until 5 minutes later she takes it back and doesn’t even say a word, and guess what. I still got cross contaminated and am sick from this food. Absolutely terrible place I wish I never came.
We love going here. It’s fun to go, eat with the family and play a bunch of games. The portions are small for how expensive it is and they don’t have any gluten free markings or a gluten free menu. Overall, it’s good.

Perfect ribs with beans and potato salad split plate. Some veggie and beef soup, one gluten free ace guava cider and a wild berry cobbler sour. Nice outing with the fam.
The pizza was so delicious and they have gluten free pizza! We sat on the patio and brought our dog. Great selection of cocktails and beer. Food is ordered at the bar and then they will bring it to your table. We loved it and absolutely will be back!
Oliver was a great and accommodating server. The food was absolutely delicious, lots of gluten free options available. I'd recommend asking if the bartender is able to make a custom cocktail based off your favorite liquor and flavor preferences, you won't be disappointed. 10/10.

For first time diners, use the Yelp reservation system, otherwise the wait will likely be over 60 minutes (but worth it). Excellent food (we hadnfries to start and The Parish Burger with a Dragoon IPA and the Winter Surf & Turf), fantastic table service, and good ambiance. Gluten Free options clearly marked and the staff understand allergies. No issues with the service dog. We'll definitely be back.
