⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The restaurant is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists in principle.
  • Some diners report cross-contact issues or miscommunications (e.g., items served with non-GF components or confusion about kitchen procedures). A few reviews explicitly note areas where contamination occurred or where staff lacked full confidence in cross-contact controls.
  • The majority of recent experiences, however, indicate strong safety practices: dedicated GF menus, color-coded plating, and proactive allergen notes on orders.
  • Asking upfront about GF prep, a GF toaster, and whether a dedicated GF pan or surface is used for your dish.
  • Requesting that your order be prepared with explicit reminders to the kitchen about gluten-containing ingredients and cross-contamination precautions.
  • Opting for dishes that are repeatedly highlighted as safe in recent experiences (e.g., GF pancakes, GF cinnamon rolls, avocado toast on GF bread) and verifying the current prep method with your server.
