We loved the atmosphere and they ended up having a great band. The only negative is that they seem to only have one GF menu and they couldn’t find it. I am Celiac and trusted their recommendation. Unfortunately, I did get sick. I’m not sure if it was a bad recommendation or cross contamination. I had the crab deviled eggs sans panko (don’t recommend, the crab was overpowering), Caesar salad, and steak frites. I would go back for the drinks and atmosphere, but I wouldn’t eat there. My son and husband had a great meal, though.
