I am so excited to have found this place! My youngest daughter is diagnosed Celiac Disease and so cannot have even the slightest bit of cross contamination in her food or she'll be sick. On Christmas Eve I called to see if they had a dedicated gluten free fryer (my girl loves fries!). I was told no but the man, Jason, who turned out to be the GM, encouraged us to go anyway because they have such an extensive gluten free menu. I'm glad we gave it a try! When I arrived Jason told me he decided to make a gluten free dedicated fryer in his kitchen and had already started it up to be ready for my daughter's fries! On top of that, the staff were all lovely and the food was *amazing*! Jason, if you see this, thank you again! It's rough for a 13 yr old with Celiac Disease; your kindness made a difference! We will be back!!

This was my first time here and I was really glad I went. They have several gluten free options and a well rounded menu with lots of options. Not your typical pub grub, definitely a step above and for a very reasonable price. The atmosphere is casual but sophisticated and our server Luis was fantastic. I'd definitely go back and next time try a dessert.

This was my first visit, a friend had chosen and reserved this restaurant. It’s in a strip mall with easy access to 270 and plenty of parking. The spacious interior is capable of accommodating a large group without interfering with other diners. The waitstaff was very patient, allowing our group of 16 some socializing time as we split into 2 groups of 8 in the sunny front room. The waiters were receptive and attentive to gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free concerns, unflinchingly writing up separate checks. Complimentary bread with seasoned olive oil was brought to the tables as soon as we were settled. Multiple menus were on the tables, and on the Saturday when I visited, brunch was available in addition to the regular menu. The menu offerings are varied; there is something for everyone: from burgers to poke bowls, eggs to vegan options, and sirloin to salads. I had the Cobb Salad, which at $18 was pricey (like $5 too much) but was tasty. Overall, the prices seem high, but the accommodation to our large group was worth it.
