Great gluten free options!

Definitely wouldn’t call this the greatest experience… Popped in for a few drinks and dinner- thought this was a great option as someone with many dietary restrictions due to all the GF, DF signs on the menu. Warning for any celiacs wanting to go here: the menu is misleading as only a couple of things on the menu are actually safe to eat. Service wasn’t great, busy time of the year but noticed many other customers not getting served while waitstaff were free. I don’t want to be too harsh but the cocktails were just bad… Other than that, the food that was coming out looked good so if you don’t have dietary restrictions and don’t mind waiting around it might be worth checking out!
