What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility. This means cross-contact risk exists, even though there are GF options and dedicated preparation for some items.
- Some diners have reported issues where a GF item appeared to test as not fully gluten-free (e.g., a bun or grill handling concerns). While these cases seem not widespread, they underscore the importance of explicit allergen communication and verifying current prep methods at the time of visit.
- The restaurant does offer a laminated allergens menu and staff who are described as knowledgeable by many guests, but a minority of reviews point to gaps in process or occasional missteps.
- Overall, the safety profile appears strong when proper precautions are followed, but “zero risk” cannot be guaranteed in a non-dedicated facility setting.
