Very gluten free friendly! I felt very safe eating there with my daughter that has celiac disease. Our food was amazing and the drinks were yummy. Having a playground there for our wild child was amazing. We loved sitting in the sand and listening to music. We got there at 430 and had zero wait. When we left closer to 6, the line was insane. Definitely recommend going a bit early. We will definitely be returning!

I really enjoyed my food and drink. My family was not as impressed. I had an Irish coffee with a club on a gluten-free bun. The sandwich had a huge amount of turkey, and the bacon was nice and crisp. It came with a lot of chips. I needed to ask for mayo as it only came with a small smear of Dijon. One kid had the same on a pretzel bun and enjoyed his as well, but also said his was dry and added mayo. 2 kids and my husband tried the mac and cheese. They all said it was mid. It was explained as sticky and dry. It was not creamy at all. The crab mac seemed to have cheese on the top and bottom but not the middle. One kid said they tasted the crab in the mac, and the other one said they couldn't taste it at all. She barely touched her meal, and we came in hungry! The thing that brought the rating down the most was my husband's meal. The ceasar salad did not have enough dressing to even speak on the flavor. The rack of ribs maybe had 2.5 ounces of meat. That "rack" was about as big as my husbands palm. It was one of their higher priced dishes and was totally disappointing. The barbecue sauce was an afterthought. It was smeared on and not even put back into the oven to caramelize. My husband also had some wine that he said tasted like box wine. One kid had fish and chips. I tasted the fish. I thought it was pretty good. The batter could have been lighter. The inside was a little mushy. Kid didn't really eat his meal. He had half of his dad's mac and my chips. But that worked out. My hubby was able to substitute his lacking meal. One kid had nachos. He enjoyed them and almost finished. This is from a kid who complains about nothing. A true gem in this world! All in all, for the price, we felt "mom could do better." In fact, my husband said he could do better. In all fairness, I love being in the kitchen and have about 20 years of making things from scratch, but it hurts when we spend $250 and are not satisfied. The service was great. Atmosphere was bar like. Food was only there to soak up alcohol if you had 1 too many drinks and had to beg the kitchen to turn on the fryer 30 minutes before closing.

We really enjoyed our meal here. There were lots of gluten free options (including crab cakes!), and the staff seemed very well-versed in dietary restrictions. And how many places offer endless sides?! Our server, Sierra, was great: friendly, professional, and efficient. The view from upstairs is incredible. We have nothing but good things to say about this place and we'll definitely return in the future!

Solid solid spot. Especially love the God Bless America volume turning up. Our son has celiacs and they were super cautious and receptive to our needs. Highly recommend

We went for Lobster night!! My fam all had lobster and absolutely loved it. I ordered the vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy free stir fry on noodles.... and wow... this dish was phenomenal. The flavor of the dish was amazing ... the most stand-out taste explosion for my palette was the incredible cauliflower steak placed on top of the dish.. all I can say is this is a must get dish!!! I also enjoyed an order of sweet potato fries done to perfection. I did not leave a crumb.... of anything!! This restaurant is employee owned. My experience with our server and watching and listening to the other servers, is they see the customer as family or potential family!!! Incredible tastes, fantastic service, atmosphere perfection, and a must experience restaurant on any journey.!!🦄🙏🌈🩵🩷

Had breakfast twice. The food was good and portion size nice. Coffee was weak and cold. Had to keep asking to be refilled and for more creamers and sugar. They did have an option for gluten free bread for a charge.

Gluten free roll fell apart but that I guess should be expected. Drinks were good and everyone working there was pleasant

I'm on vacation so we don't really know what's out here. These guys helped a ton over the phone suggesting getting around the wife's gluten allergy. Take-out food was great, but they forgot to put the Pico and melted butter in the bag... I guess no one's perfect

Double check with the chef when the menu says gluten free because it isn’t. We ordered an item on the menu that says it’s gluten-free and asked the server if it really was. She said that it must be if it says it. Then she asked the chef and we were told that after the menus were printed the chef changed the recipes and they are NOT gluten-free even though the menu states that they are. We have brought this up to the manager but nothing has changed. Be careful if you have a severe gluten issue.

Good place for dinner! There were gluten free options available on the menu and our server was knowledgeable about cross contamination and helped me make modifications to menu items. I was able to substitute the bread from the crab dip for celery.
