We went to celebrate my daughter in law’s birthday, special day to get out for girls day. This was the right place to be, especially with their large gluten free menu. We all ate gf and everything was beyond delicious. We will definitely be coming back. It’s not every day you can order anything off the menu. Thank you

We thought we were going to have a bad experience as the hostess on this night was unwelcoming, unfriendly did not even want to speak with us let alone eye contact. It seemed as though it was a problem for her to do her job. After that ordeal everything was great! The waitress was great and servers were very friendly. Highly recommend.
