⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility; cross-contact is possible.
- The official gluten-sensitive offerings are not labeled gluten-free by FDA standards, and precautions rely on procedures (glove changes, utensil changes, separate prep areas) rather than a guaranteed free-of-gluten environment.
- While many diners report positive experiences, some encounters describe missteps or limited GF options, underscoring the importance of clear communication with the staff and manager supervision for higher-sensitivity needs.
