Started out good enough and waiter seemed fine, until we got to the question regarding gluten free options…..I suppose ignorance is bliss and some may have heard of celiacs disease and just go along to get along, but by 2024 you might think most food establishments might understand that people are being poisoned , literally from gluten, so some attention to this matter is dire need here….cant be guessing which may or may not be ok to eat. Overall the food was good, but the service was very, very, very slow. Being told the kitchen got slammed at 9:30 pm when the restaurant was 3/4 empty is hard to believe and if the chef/ kitchen can’t handle it , then just don’t take the reservation. There are plenty of other places to go that were open later. Also, being told several items were 86ed right after being told they were available just shows the wheels are moving but the gears are disconnected.

My parents ate here and always ask about if they can accommodate those with Celiac Disease to help out our community! They have a dedicated GF fryer and the staff is super knowledgable on CC!! Wahoo! A win for the Celiac community!
