We made reservations for a patio seat which had to be moved inside due to rain (PNW style). We sat in a room toward the back of the restaurant and the temperature was very warm. I had to take a break during my meal to stand outside in order to cool off. A fan in the back of the restaurant would do a lot for ventilation. I can’t imagine how the serving staff felt. The food was good. I had a vegetable soup followed by steak with mashed potatoes, carrots, and green beans with chimichurri (they ran out of the cut listed on the menu so had a substitute available) which was decent. The cut was a little fibrous but the flavors were good and it was cooked medium rare as ordered. My husband had lamb meatballs then falafel which he enjoyed. The wine list by the glass was minimal but sufficient. Dessert menu was good. They were able to work with my dietary restrictions (gluten free, I appreciate the irony considering the name of the restaurant) and I felt safe eating there. The server was busy but attentive. Overall it was a good experience.

I enjoyed lunch at the bar today. With a burger wrap and a mule. The service was fast the food was good and cooked to the perfect level of done. The only downside being no gluten free options, other then turning a burger into a wrap. With as common of a problem gluten is for so many people a simple gluten free bun goes along ways.
