We were seated quickly. The hostess seemed to be in a huge hurry and left us in the dust searching for her in the distance. She was friendly, but we couldn't keep up. After we were seated a couple walked through with their dog. Not a service dog. Didn't even seem to be an emotional support animal, just a pet. I am an animal lover but other than service for the physically handicapped I don't think they have any business in a restaurant. Gluten friendly menu was 4 options. My wife has Celiac. I asked if friendly meant gluten free and was told yes. Apparently the food is not prepared separately as my wife suffered the ill effects of cross contamination. My food was good but I also spent the next few hours on the toilet. I have read a few other reviews where they seem to notice food sitting out. I don't think we will be back.

Allow me to preface thie review with an "it's not too bad." the tldr on this would be something along the Iines of, food was decent, service was slow, smell was extremely nursing home-esque. 3 stars. There were three of us at night at around late o'clock (11pm ish) and we wanted something quick for a dinner/snack. We walk in, and the singular waitress takes a moment and then greets us, and seats us. (Very friendly by the way). Drinks took an oddly long time, considering we were the only people in the place at the time. Oh well, I guess that's ok. They do have gluten friendly meal options which is nice, however there was some confusion on if that meant "friendly" dietwise, or "friendly" as in can not under any circumstances have gluten due to Celiac Disease. (The confusion may have been on our part, so apologies for that). The food was pretty good once it came, and the pretzel bites are absolutely wonderful. The refills are free, but our waitress was gone for a very long tine after our food came. Maybe a half-hour or so, not world ending, but odd. The nursing home smell was honestly my biggest turn-off to the place. Decent everything else, slightly slow service even when we were the only ones there. I would try it again if I'm ever back in the area.
