Food is mediocre at best and definitely overpriced. $20 for TWO scallops. Salads were bland. Service was slow and food wasn’t served as the menu described. The ambiance is weird…it’s like this restaurant can’t decide who they want to be. One section is rustic, another contemporary, another modern farmhouse style, and last but not least, the kitchen area looks like a 1950’s diner. They up charge for everything. If you have a gluten allergy and ask for gluten free bread, be prepared to pay an extra $3 (even though regular bread is complimentary).

The food was quite good, and the service was amazing. A great place if you’re looking for vegetarian dishes, and numerous gluten-free options. I’m gluten-free and I loved the number of options available for me. It’s pretty typically to only have a few things to choose from when I going out, so having over a dozen was great.

I don't often give a five star review but I MUST. If you want something delicious and you are vegan and gluten free as I am, you have to try the vegan tofu bowl. It is out of this world. Because it was crowded, my son and I ate at the bar and our service was excellent. Dakota made sure we were served quickly and he checked in as well as checking on all details relevant to my dietary restrictions. As for the atmosphere, as an artist myself, I love the murals on the wall and the splashes of color and style that are throughout the space.

My husband and I tried to eat at this establishment with our service dog who is trained to detect gluten. We were rudely interrogated about what disability the dog was trained for and when we shared it was celiac disease the woman at the hostess stand insisted that celiac was not a disability covered by the ADA, which is wrong. Even after I explained that I am a lawyer and could report this business, we were refused entry. I don't know what the food is like here, but the staff is misinformed and discriminatory. I have filed complaints with several regulatory bodies to see this addressed.

Hosted a bachelorette brunch here and I cannot stress enough how perfect it was! The food was impeccable (the French toast and breakfast enchiladas and steak and eggs were the crowd favorites) and the restaurant and decor are totally adorable. They fit our entire reservation of 10 very comfortably and had good options for our vegan and gluten free guests, not just saddling them with salads. And the star of the show was the wait staff who were extremely attentive and friendly and when they found out we were celebrating they even surprised us with a little treat at the end! 11/10 will be my go to for hosting from now on!
