***Not celiac safe!*** I was very excited to try this restaurant because of all of the GF options on their menu including fried green tomatoes, calamari and loaded sweat potato tots! I was in the middle of placing my order when I found out that ALL of the fried items marked GF are cooked in a shared fryer with everything else. I contacted the restaurant because this is very misleading and was told by the owner that their GF items are more for people with a preference. I told her that once you put these items in a shared fryer they are no longer GF and this could cause someone with celiac to be very sick. She explained that they have a disclaimer that they do not have a separate space for cooking gluten and thought that was fine. I have never been to a restaurant that lists fried items as GF unless they have a separate fryer. I hope no one gets sick from this place. My grain bowl came out with crunchy chickpeas which I had to return after I asked again about the shared fryer. They were cooked in that shared fryer.

As someone who is gluten free, dairy free and has a shellfish allergy, the specked trout was a wonderful dining experience. Our server Alex went above and beyond for me and to make sure all the food I had was safe for me to eat. She was excellent and the food was wonderful.

The food was pretty good. Steakhouse type burgers and the menu is clearly listed. Only downfall is limited gluten free options, and not much clarity on what sides are gluten free or not. Overall, it was good. If I could have gluten I’d be back no doubt.
