Fresh Heim

Everything is definitely NOT gluten free here anymore (ate dinner here on Aug 8, 2023). Restaurant is apparently under new ownership (not sure when that happened since we haven't gone out much since Covid began but we were here at least once within the last year and it was still under the original ownership at that time - used to love the dishes they served!). In any case, the website has changed, the menu has changed, and there is no mention of anything being GF on the website or menu (or posted inside the actual restaurant) anymore.

Unfortunately none of this registered until after I'd eaten half my meal (grilled chicken, fresh salad, glass noodles) since I'd always understood that everything on the menu was GF and I'd never had any issues in the past. I thought perhaps they'd updated their menu and had hired some new staff members (unfamiliar faces behind the counter and waiting on tables). But the sauce on the chicken tasted totally different than it used to (very sweet/thick/chunky rather than light & lively), so when the waitress came by to ask how everything was, I asked what was in the sauce on the chicken and at first she just said they used all fresh ingredients, but when I asked her specifically what the ingredients were, she started listed a few things beginning with soy sauce, after which I stopped her and said "gluten free soy sauce?" and she said, no, the soy sauce is NOT gluten free. When I expressed surprise/alarm at this, she went back to the kitchen to double check, and returned to confirm that the soy sauce they use is definitely NOT GF. Very very very disappointing! All the changes began to sink in then, so I asked if the restaurant ownership had changed and she said yes, but that they were using the same recipes. Nope. The sauce was definitely not the same and now I don't know what if anything is truly GF there. Very unhappy and frustrated, I gave the rest of my chicken to my husband (who is not GF) and left there hungry. Definitely glutened (hit me by the time we got home). This used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but it is unlikely I will ever return after tonight's experience. Some (many?) menu items may still be GF there but without any indication of what is and isn't GF on the menu or website and no clear communication about what has really changed (perhaps the new owners do not even know), I can not recommend eating there now.

Fabulous delicious plates. Celiac daughter did not have issues-she reacts within a few hours to a slight glutening. Due to a prior post/review I questioned the chef and was fine.

We came here to eat and it is not a gluten free restaurant. He wasn’t sure about the soy sauce and they serve desserts with gluten. When I asked him about seasonings, he said he didn’t think it was safe for me. It is NOT a gluten free restaurant. Enter at your own risk.

Very fresh, healthy and well paired ingredients. Definitely recommend.

Very tasty loved the pork loin and the salad was both yummy and gorgeous

Outstanding gracious service and the food is amazing! I have IBS and Crohn's so it's nearly impossible to eat out successfully. This place is a must!

Great healthy menu. Not a wide range of selections- they focus on a protein (steak, pork, chicken, tofu, etc) with a salad. Their salads are not traditional, but are amazing. I highly recommend giving it a try.
