***Not celiac safe!*** I was very excited to try this restaurant because of all of the GF options on their menu including fried green tomatoes, calamari and loaded sweat potato tots! I was in the middle of placing my order when I found out that ALL of the fried items marked GF are cooked in a shared fryer with everything else. I contacted the restaurant because this is very misleading and was told by the owner that their GF items are more for people with a preference. I told her that once you put these items in a shared fryer they are no longer GF and this could cause someone with celiac to be very sick. She explained that they have a disclaimer that they do not have a separate space for cooking gluten and thought that was fine. I have never been to a restaurant that lists fried items as GF unless they have a separate fryer. I hope no one gets sick from this place. My grain bowl came out with crunchy chickpeas which I had to return after I asked again about the shared fryer. They were cooked in that shared fryer.

Amazing crepes, sweet and savory. I haven't had crepes in years and clearly been missing out. The gluten free crepe was wonderful and the coffee was good too. This is a cute, quirky place going on the revisit list when we're in town again!

Such a cute spot with friendly staff and delicious food! Brought our son for breakfast and it was the perfect place to go. Plenty of options on the menu whether you like classics or stuff more interesting. They also have good gluten free choices on the menu. Fun drink choices, too! Only here for one more day and may come back tomorrow just to experience lunch - that's how much we loved it!

Great drinks and a cozy vibe upstairs, but the lack of mugs dampens the experience despite tempting baked goods.

Pecan latte was good! The drip coffee was good too. They don’t have mugs for sitting in which really makes the experience for me. No music or noise upstairs where the seating is. They do have lots of baked goods. There were two gluten free options.

Stopped by for a quick breakfast on our way to a hike. I wish they had a gluten free biscuit, but enjoyed a tasty smoothie. Partner had a breakfast sandwich on a biscuit and is still talking about it. Loved it so much we went back the next day. Thanks!

Super clean amazing staff and service yummy food there is a side overflow parking lot that was hard to see at first but it wasn’t crowded when we went so we had no trouble with parking or getting a table!❤️ would definitely eat here multiple times again They make there own tortillas and many gluten free options. Food was authentic with many options that will suit the whole fam. Was concerned about the salsa from previous reviews but it was super delicious!

Unique bakery-style buns add a special touch, but the sides may not hit the mark with some dishes needing better execution.

Brisket was very good. Loved that they offered a bakery style gluten free bun instead of a packaged bun. The potato salad was not very good. The sauce was very runny and the potatoes were not cooked all the way, leaving a crunch.

We eat there several times each summer, beginning about 2006-7-ish. We’ve never been disappointed in the food or service! The inn is beautiful, historic, impressive yet cozy so the ambiance is great. There are nice options for outdoor and indoor dining. The duck is absolutely amazing! I don’t remember ever having anything that wasn’t really good. I have to be gluten-free, but my husband doesn’t, and we’ve both always been very pleased with the menu options.

I recently visited this restaurant and had an amazing experience. The burger was top notch and the ranch dressing was out of this world. Gluten free pizza was really good. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated the variety of premade salads and meals available. All premade items have clear allergy info on the packaging. I will definitely be back!

This a wonderful place with lots of options. A great selection of apps, salads, cheese and charcuterie led us to skip the entrees and create a delicious repast of salads, apps and a cheese board. I would recommend the restaurant include the cheese, charcuterie and conserva options onto the main menu so they are not missed! Or at least feature them a bit more. They are wonderful! And the desserts were fantastic too, very creative; even included a vegan and gluten-free option, which was delicious.

Decent spot for lunch. Opted for a spinach salad with grilled chicken, which was good. Several sandwiches on menu, but no gluten-free bread available. Service was a little slow for lunch.
