English and Spanish: I have been to this restaurant several times and have loved it every time! They are allergy-friendly, 100% gluten-free, and are willing to make accommodations. They have this vegan cilantro sauce that is phenomenal. I’ve gotten the vegan beyond arepa with avacados, lettuce, and Fritos. The rice and beans (the beans depend on who is making it; there have been some inconsistencies there), but everything else is good. I also love their fresh juices. The passionfruit one is my favorite. English and Spanish: I have been to this restaurant several times and have always loved it.

The food was delicious! GLuten friendly options are available. The Arepas were decently sized, though a big guy like me needs two. I preferred the pork over the salmon.

I've been here before a year ago or so, the service and atmosphere are wonderful, I really enjoy eating there! I got the smoked salmon frittata and it was delicious! I had to ask for a bit more salad dressing, but our server was very kind and was happy to get me some more. The reason I've given the good a low review isn't because it's bad, but because they've gotten rid of their gluten free/friendly options (still have gf toast though, it was pretty good). I was super excited to go back and even more so when I saw all the delicious Fall options for pancakes, only to find out they no longer had the option to make them gf. I hope to hear they reintroduce that in the future.

Went here for the first time and wasn’t expecting much but it was GREAT. My spouse is Italian and very picky and also enjoyed it. We’ve tried lots of Italian places in Raleigh area and this is the best. Excited to bring my friends with dietary needs here as well because apparently they also have gluten free options I’m very picky about my Alfredo (for some reason most restaurants have such bland Alfredo) but their Cajun pasta with Alfredo was very flavorful. The penne vodka is their most popular dish for good reason and also very flavorful. I also enjoyed their steak and cheese during lunch

This was just my first time visiting, but we will be back! The servers were attentive and the food was great. It probably helps that they had a live band that night as well, but I definitely enjoyed the atmosphere. We came by for Hubby’s bday and of course had to get the 21+ cake! I had just the pimento cheese sandwich with bacon on gluten free bread. (Yes, fellow allergic/intolerant peeps, they can accommodate! *May not be celiac friendly, will have to check this next time)

We sat at the sushi bar. The gentlemen who were preparing our meal were funny, the service was pretty good. We engorged on sushi. The atmosphere was appreciated because we got to watch them construct the rolls we ordered! Recommend for sure! Only suggestion I would have is the addition of gluten free soy sauce so I could enjoy the wasabi as well. (I like to mix the 2 & dip my roll in it. ) I cannot have the hibachi because of the excessive amount of gluten/ soy sauce.

I had a few early morning appointments across town and needed to grab food in between. Due to my mindful lifestyle and autoimmune issues, I’m very particular about the quality of ingredients, preparation, and nutrients, so I don't eat out often. I ordered the "Triathlete" plate with a side of chicken sausage and gluten-free toast. The first plate came out with old-looking fruit, no tomatoes, no toast, no pico, and no mushrooms—half the ingredients of the dish were missing. Essentially, it was just an egg white omelette with canned green chili and onions, a few grapes, and the chicken sausage I ordered. I had to call the server over, as she hadn’t checked on me. I pointed out the missing items, and she took the dish back to be remade. She mentioned they were out of mushrooms initially but were now cooking more. It seemed like they hoped I wouldn’t notice the missing ingredients. About 10 minutes later, the server returned with the dish, which still lacked pico and had only one piece of diced tomato. They did add more fruit, which was nice. Again, I had to call out to the server, who was hanging out at the hostess stand. I told her I was over the experience and wasn’t going to send the food back again. She brought me a box for my fruit and handed me a gift card as I left. Overall, it was a lackluster experience and a stark reminder of why I’ve been avoiding eating out post-c0vid. The photo is the "remake".

I was excited to try this place because they had 2 dedicated vegan options, that also just galen to be gluten free. I could either get the blue corn tortilla tacos or the enchiladas. Both came with nopales (cactus) and black beans. I chose the tacos, simply becauseI'm not typically a big fan of green tomatillo sauce, which was on the enchiladas. The tacos were very good and extremely filling. I feel they could have used more veggies in them and less beans though, for my personal preference, because the beans are pretty salty. We also got the guac and chips as an appetizer, and the guac was pretty darn good! I decided to try their Cadillac Margarita and was happy I did. Very flavorful and strong. Definitely not one of those weak ones with the electric neon green fake mix I've seen at other places. The atmosphere really has some cool touches and the building itself is a fantastic architectural design. If you haven't checked this place out yet, I highly suggest it!

Since it was my first time in, they were very patient with me explaining all the options and going through all the items with me. Loved that there were so many gluten free options. I had a lamb bowl on a bed of rice and chickpeas. Food was tasty and plentiful. Loved hearing how they welcomed everyone in as if they were family!
