I got the tuscan scramble and it was DELICIOUS. I’m not a huge fan of breakfast foods sometimes but this was a fantastic mix of an Italian pasta and egg. With cheese, sun dried tomatoes, pesto, and chicken. No labels for gluten free items.

We went for brunch during restaurant week. We had the gluten free fried chicken and their cornbread as well! Both were very delicious. The only downside was communicating with the servers. Our server interrupted me in the middle of asking about allergen cross-contamination of the fryers by stating "no" to answer my question. While I'm sure she gets the question a lot, it did leave me worried about if she fully understood my question or if I fully understood her answer. At the end of our meal, I asked if I could get a box for my leftovers, and the busser said yes, taking my plate... so I just assumed she was going to box it for me... which I did think was odd. Then, when we asked her again, she sent other bussers and our server over to our table and acted like she didn't know what we were talking about. They did end up replacing the chicken they threw away, which was appreciated, but they seemed really bothered about it. Not sure if they were understaffed or if it was just simply too loud in there to hear properly. The food was good enough we will probably give it another try! (The ginormous plates make the serving sizes look tiny, but they're not as small as they look)
