This is the best place for gluten free fine dining in the area. The food is amazing and rivals any place in the suburbs as well as many in the city. The charcuterie board was to die for, some of the best cheese I've ever had. The fillet was cooked perfectly and the drinks were balanced and went down smooth. I highly recommend you try this place if you haven't.
All the food was delightful and most importantly for me, Gluten Free. The server also let me know me of what had dairy on the menu when I asked, which makes it much easier for me to order. She knew upfront and didn’t have to check, which was great. The margarita was fabulous- while being strong it was still delicious and smooth. Our server was very professional, courteous and polite, but there were some complications with the menu/kitchen/bar service taking longer than expected. Luckily we were not in a rush and the atmosphere was modern and trendy, which we enjoyed while waiting. Edit 9/17/23: have been back regularly for take out, always happy. Also returned for my sisters birthday dinner and I appreciated that they let me bring a gluten & dairy free cake in (they only allow non gluten items in and made sure of that - I appreciated that too) they even took it to the back and brought it out with a beautiful gold candle. When I let them know I was dairy free they were also very sure to tell me if anything had dairy in it and had allergy sticks in all my meals to assure me I know they were conscious of it.
Great option to have in the suburbs! The drinks are always tasty and inventive. Food is hit or miss. I had a fish dish here that had no flavor what so ever but then I came back and the food has improved. I know they’re was a mention of the chef having been replaced at some point. Sit at the bar for the best atmosphere.
Overall? Amazing. The ambiance, the food (we did small plates and entrees), and the service were great. Not to mention the cocktail and after dinner offerings were an experience in their own right. We found out after the meal that everything is gluten-free free (WHAT?!?!?!) which we would have never guessed during the meal. Do not hesitate to bring your allergen restricted friends/family here, they will find something, and the people who are not restricted will never know. We ventured from the top end (8 oz fillet) to the bottom end (soup/salad) and were not disappointed in the slightest. Definitely will be back for next seasons menu...
Amazing birthday dinner! The food was excellent , so much flavor and paired well with our cocktails and wine. Our server Kelly was kind, and informative and made us feel welcomed as if we were regulars visiting, we definitely will be now. I can't wait to visit again! The owner also stopped by our table to check in often which made the dinner extra special. Safe for celiac disease, and truly that in itself was a peace of mind to enjoy a beautiful dinner without the worry of cross contamination. Thank you!
Everything I’ve ever wanted and more! What a wonderful dining experience! I’m gluten-free and it was so exciting to be able to pick from anything on the menu! Everything we tried was fantastic and absolutely every member of the staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. I can’t wait to come back!
The best food and service we have had in the suburbs! Our waiter Josh was very knowledgeable about the menu options, and went above and beyond answering our questions in detail. Our table was always being taken care of, and dishes being taken away. The food was fantastic and as a bonus everything is gluten free. As a celiac I am so happy to have found a local restaurant where I can relax and feel safe eating my meal. We will be back, I highly recommend trying it out!
I really enjoyed our dinner here! Our waitress Kelly was amazing. We started with charcuterie which came with an amazing cheddar. For the main I chose the elk rack- I'd never had elk before and it was phenomenal, and cooked perfectly temperature-wise. Also tried the apple fritters for dessert. We will be back!

I just happen to have stumbled on this & Iâm so happy I did! Itâs gorgeous! On one trail, I went through the woods & then was in some sort of field. Very, very pretty!
First time! Came here for my birthday with my wife. We watched a 2min tutorial and started throwing for a 90min session. Super chill atmosphere. Would definitely return! Beer was reasonably priced. All cans. TouchTunes if you want to mix up the music
Really fun vibe! We ordered a flight to try some of their beers which ended up being a win! Ended our night playing some shuffleboard. Fun place and Iâm sure when the weather is nice the patio is equally a fun spot to hang out. Everyone was very fr

My husband and I came in for a spontaneous date night for old school billiards, and it was so much fun! It's an old school retro little time machine! Take cash when you go, they don't have a card reader! Love this place so much!
Melanie and her chocolates are the best! Since moving into the area we have been sure to frequent our new favorite sweet shop. The staff here is always friendly and happy to answer questions about allergens in their items, and keep a good stock of e
I've been coming here since I moved to the area. A lot of my friends have worked here and I always loved it. After they started expanding into other cities this location became an atmospherical dump as they were basically running a lot of operations
I need to get out more. My grandchildren were visiting from out of town and love bubble tea. They spotted the sign for Coco Rolls and Cloud tea as we drove through the mall. Score! The bubble tea was a hit and the ice cream sundae we watched being cr
