I happen to walk into this lovely place. I was seated at the bar. I personally think that the best place to sit at this establishment is the bar. They have the nicest and friendliest bar tenders. I will definitely be going back there. I removed one star because my Chicken Grillade was lacking a bit. How does one make such a delectable dish without a carb? No baked potato or rice? There has to be something to accompany that delicious sauce. This poultry dish was on the pricier side and should have had a carb. It's like going to a gala in a designer dress with no shoes. I appreciated the fact that I wasn't charged for the complimentary GF bread like other places. Celiac is a protected autoimmune disease under the ADA and this place knows what's up. It's the little things. That's how I know an establishment respects itself and its patrons who have dietary restrictions.

The staff were exceptional and very knowledgeable about GF options. Asked if I had celiac, and recommended options as appropriate to my level of tolerance ie x dish is gluten free but risk of CC. All pasta options can be made GF with corn based pasta which was delicious, and most of the mains were naturally gluten free. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will be returning. So many options that I didn’t even get food fomo.

Waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and cross contamination concerns. My husband and I split the Autumn Burrata and the Brussel Sprout Salad. As a main I had the Heritage Country Rib Chop. The food was delicious and I did not get sick. Will definitely return!

Friendly staff, very knowledgeable about what I could eat. Make sure to ask and tell them you have an allergy as it’s not advertised on their menu. They had gluten free table bread and I had a burger with sandwich bread instead of a bun. It was the best burger I’ve ever had and the bread itself was delicious!
