Very popular spot in town! The food was delicious, and the staff was very knowledgeable to support gluten and lactose intolerances.

What a gem to have found in Palmer! Coffee shop feel, but high end cuisine taste. Delicious stew, pasta, and bread. The gluten free accommodations were surprisingly thorough and equally tasty. Not to mention the variety of teas and other non-alcoholic drinks!! (They have alcoholic too) Seems like they have a lot of new staff and are working on their efficiency, but we weren't in a hurry and appreciated the relaxed atmosphere.

DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES/INTOLERANCES. Went out to eat with my mother and grandmother. We had reservations and the restaurant wasn’t even at 50% capacity. We ordered our food and drinks. My mom and grandmother received their wine and I was told the kombucha I ordered was gone. Ordered sparkling water which never arrived. We received no water for the table. Wait staff repeatedly walked up to our seating area glanced around and ignored our attempts to get their attention to ask for water. When our food came out they informed us that half of what we ordered was no longer available. Server didn’t offer alternatives. Both my mother and I have celiac and had always enjoyed turkey red for having gluten free options. When we requested gluten free options the server informed us they were out of bread and stopped making gluten free pizza, “it is too much of a pain for the kitchen to make”. I requested a gluten free menu or suggestions to which their server had nothing to offer and stated that making gluten free menus would cost too much money. The time that your wait staff spends going back and forth to the kitchen asking if things are GF would easily equal less than the cost to have a few GF menus available. You could even write on five of your menus with a red marker and no one would care. Just add a GF it’s so simple, it’s 2024 and loads of people in the valley are gluten free. The clam chowder my grandmother ordered was watery and looked nothing like a chowder. The soup my mother ordered never showed up and her salad was dismal. I ordered an appetizer and was not informed that it was only a 1 ounce portion. The scallops were so overcooked they were like rubber and the polenta was burnt to a crisp and tasted like play dough. I would have ordered something else if I had known how laughably small it was. Still never received water even after requesting twice. When I went to the counter to pay because no one came to our table with a bill or checked on us. Four servers walked past me. I was the only person at the register. Not even glance or I’ll be with you in a moment. Zero effort to acknowledge me. I said excuse me to a red headed woman who was incredibly rude to me. When I requested to speak to the manager she told me no. Then asked me what I would like her to do about my complaints. It is not the customers job to remedy piss poor service and offer suggestions for not giving even the bare minimum of service. Safe to say I will never set foot or have a cent of my money go to this establishment and will eagerly share my poor experience with others to discourage others from giving business to such a disreputable establishment. Shame on whoever is running this place you really let it fall to shambles. Hands down the worst dining experience I’ve ever had in the valley.
