ordered from the gluten-free menu (filet mignon & lobster, a house salad w/ no croutons and mashed potatoes). house salad came with crouton crumbs on it. when i asked a waiter if they could fix it for me and i pointed out the crumbs and how it looked like the croutons were put on and taken off, they tried telling me that the workers change their gloves every salad and that they "didn't do that", but they brought a new one anyway. the owner even came over and said the same thing. did not feel safe at all eating here. the lobster was really good but i was pretty upset with the salad experience.

Do not come here if you’re celiac. I went with my boyfriend and told them I had a gluten allergy and they served my shrimp on a piece of bread. Ended up extremely sick that night.

I had an amazing gluten free dinner there. There was a separate menu for gluten free meals. My family and I all ordered from there menu with plenty of options. Our server was very kind and made sure our food was how we needed it. They even had a gluten free brownie dessert. Overall, this experience was a stress reliever for someone who was just diagnosed as celiac.

Came for late dinner to-go. No issues! Just stick with simple stuff like steak and potatoes and you’ll be fine. It is a chain though, so I’m not sure how safe everything is. Felt fine after.

Staff was AMAZING and menu is pretty extensive for being GF in this area. I ordered from the GF menu and my husband did not. After putting the order in, our waitress came back to talk to me because my husband ordered food that was not GF and she wanted to be sure that I knew what could make me sick. Can't wait to go back!

Dedicated gluten free menu has lots of options. Just ask the hostess for it. They even have a hot gluten free brownie a la mode for dessert! Management is always happy to answer any questions.

For a chain restaurant they are great. Up front about the possibility of cross contamination. But they are very careful. They have a gluten free menu,you just have to ask. And if it is on there menu and it can be made gluten free with just a few changes, they'll make it for you

I had the chili and the mashed potatoes because I wasn’t really feeling a steak that day. Gluten free menu is available but with somewhat limited choices if you don’t feel like having steak.

Horrible, will not go back

Had a GF menu but half the things on the menu were no longer available. Had to repeat gf salad order twice and it was still brought out wrong. Waiter could have cared less.

I ordered the gluten free Shrimp and Steak combo. it's only GF when the shrimp are not placed on a piece of toast.

My dinner arrived with the Shrimp on toast. I asked to check if the toast was GF. The server returned with a small plate stating the toast contained gluten and offered to remove the piece of toast or the shrimp and toast.

I explained that they had to remake the meal which they did.

Therefore, beware when eating here. The staff is not properly trained!!
