Hostess amazing and responsive and kind, there was a long wait for main dining but ended up in the bar area where we found a space for two. Warm and cozy vibes. No gluten or dairy substitutes for allergies, but ended up doing a steak and veggies. Our server was extremely rude and made us feel unwelcome. We ended up only getting one drink and half our food boxed up and headed home, otherwise we would've spent so much more time and money(and probably would've visited there more days ) Service- we asked to order tater tots just plain with the filet and veggies (we didn't want it substituted for a side) she just said no. We asked for the steak to be cut, she said no. We asked for any allergy substitutes she said no. She checked in on us after receiving food and said our meals look good and asked if we need anything else. When we asked just to have our items packed up she just brought us two boxes, not even a bag or asked if she could do it for us,

- Avoid if you have Celiac (or food allergies in general). - It took 40+ minutes to get soup and salad (Monday early afternoon). There is only one item marked GF on the menu. After consulting with server and kitchen, though, I ordered the wedge (without fried shallots or croutons) and soup of the day. The salad came out with both toppings. When the server brought out a “new” salad, it was obvious the kitchen had just removed the croutons and fried shallots — leaving behind crumbs. This doesn’t work for a diner with Celiac/food allergy. Instead of expediting the correct order, the server had the manager come talk to me. It wasn’t until the manager “made the salad himself” that I was able to eat. Additionally, from either the soup or salad, I was very sick (gluten reaction) later that day. Ultimately, this restaurant doesn’t seem to understand or take food allergies seriously. Not a good experience if this is something you have to deal with when you dine out.
