    Zero gluten free menu options, but you can eat there (gf bun on burger isn’t feasible for anyone with celiac or allergy - staff informed me that cross contamination will happen) the only option was a burrito bowl (“hot mess” on the menu) you need to omit the chili (unknown ingredients), and the tater tots they use a shared fryer with breaded chicken items, no queso, guac is okay. You can also get a salad though croutons on default topping and it wasn’t clear if they would omit them or try to “remove” them from the salad mix, so that’s a nonstarter.

    A fabulous experience in every way! My husband and I (big foodies) went the night after Christmas for dinner with my in-laws and the food and service were excellent. We ordered the crispy rice with spicy tuna, french onion soup and two salads to start which were all delicious. Same for our entrees: the black cod, 16oz ribeye, pork chop and 4 oz sirloin with the truffle gnocchi, brussel sprouts and carrots on the side. Our server and the chef were very accommodating to my MIL's strict restrictions / modifications. If you can request a server, ask for Jonathan. Since pre-covid, service at restaurants has been fairly disappointing, but not here. Jonathan was by far the best server we've had anywhere in a very long time. Looking forward to returning on our next trip to see our parents.

    Delicious Christmas Eve dinner. Portions are big…we ordered way too much! The hand braided ravioli with sausage was our fav, but the seasonal lobster tortellini appetizer was a close second. Super cool vibe, great experience!

    Food was absolutely delicious. The Mac and cheese is divine. Gnocchi with shrimp and oea purée, calamari was the best we have ever has including many coastal restaurants , short rib tacos, pear Gorgonzola pillows all so tasty. Very good service by everyone. Atmosphere is festive but not too loud or frenetic.
