Excellent gluten free waffles! Their sausage is more like kielbasa and good.

I adore this place. I'm vegan/vegetarian, and they have a whole, dedicated vegan menu. I'm so excited to try all of the items on it!! 😊 I have a friend with celiacs disease that can eat here because they tag items as GF. The gluten free friend didn't have any reaction to their cooking, so I believe they know what they're doing! We did let them know ahead of time, and the server was able to reassure us and pick some great options. 🥢 Their tiki drinks are also very fun and strong, so the higher price makes more sense to me for the area compared to other restaurants.🍹 I recommend the edemame, kimchi cucumber, sushi burrito, pad Thai, Thai curry, pad kee mao, and nasi goreng

The food was delicious. And the atmosphere was just what I would want from an upscale pub. The one issue was I had to do my order 3 times. Once with the original waitress, once bc of a gluten sensitivity which I had explained to the waitresses and once to the person serving it bc there was no Cheese on my cheese burger. Otherwise great.

Excellent location! Food was to die for. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. Staff was very accomodating for spice level preferences. Additionally, the server was extremely friendly and brought out some desserts on the house. What else can you ask for!

Unfortunately, I dislike my experience. I had the Nonna Gravy. Honestly, I thought the dish lack soul. The sauce felt rush and the meat could have been more tender. I literally had a stomach ache. My delivery side note was not taken serious at all. I politely ask for a side salad instead of rigatoni because I'm gluten free. I was given a side salad plus garlic bread. Not cool.

My girlfriend and I go here all the time. We love to the harbor to listen to the blues musicians they have perform there. Food is great and they have gluten free options for my girlfriend!
