Absolutely loved the mocktails options recommended by Justin. Love the fact its locally sourced ingredients and they do have gluten options. We will definitely be back!

The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and the waitstaff congenial (though not 100% up on what dishes contain gluten). I ordered the duck with beans with carrots and kale. The duck fell off the bones. The beans were extremely(!) salty. My dessert, a chocolate mousse, had a slightly course and not creamy texture. I had really wanted to like this restaurant...

If I had the means to hand out Michelin stars, Twelve would get 3. My entire experience was nothing short of absolutely phenomenal. Our waiter, Andrew, was extremely and entirely knowledgeable. He was also insanely helpful with guiding me towards the gluten free options of the menu. Always had a smile and was very welcoming and attentive to us as well. The food was like nothing I have ever tasted before. Each course was full of flavor and came out beautifully with a brief description of what was in front of you. The mussels were to die for, along with the steak. I can confidently say that this was the best meal I have ever had in my life and although I live 4.5 hours away, I would drive the 9 hour round trip to eat at Twelve any given day. Thank you to the wonderful staff and the chefs for making this not one of, but THE best dining experience of my life.

Our dining experience was top notch. Even though they were not able to seat us at our reservation time (they were slammed with bar patrons too), they brought us drinks while we waited at reception. My only complaint was that they did not explain the situation. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. The table was comfortable. Our food service was well paced and the dishes were delicious. We enjoyed the steak frites, orzo risotto and chicken mains. The desserts were both gluten free! The whole e selection is extensive. Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable meal spent with friends. Merci!

Wow! Excellent food! It was so nice to have a made to order meal! The special scallop stir fry was excellent! My wife loved the Mediterranean Haddock! Fresh, delicious seafood and homemade sides (my wife loved the scalloped potatoes). And then we got to dessert! Chocolate Tort with Raspberry sauce. It was magnificent. Our waitress, Jen, was pleasant and courteous! And did I mention that it was gluten free? They had so many options for gluten free! Amazing. Thank you!
