    THRILLED with the care the staff took to accommodate the 2 Celiacs in our group. Having Celiac-safe options AND having multiple staff check on us was above and beyond -- we are grateful to know this restaurant is fully safe for our family members who can't have gluten. The ONLY complaint is that it was VERY VERY loud in the "patio" area (the windows were closed since it's getting chilly at night). Just turning the music down one tiny notch might help, we had trouble hearing each other speak over the pumping music. Next time, we'll ask to sit inside -- so it's not a huge deal. Overall, a tremendous experience. Thank you!
