    As a celiac diner, I found this place via FindMeGF app. The selection of GF fare was wonderful, and the staff was very knowledgeable! We opted to share a few dishes (arepas, risotto, and sliders) - I would highly suggest this approach so you can try a number of things! Everything was delicious, including the dessert we decided to try (banana cream pie). Will definitely come back, as their menu is seasonal

    All dishes were tasty and delicious. Portion sizes did not disappoint especially when it came to to the bottomless mimosas! Service was outstanding and very personable.

    The best part of the meal for me was the beet salad with greens and cheese. The dressing made all the ingredients zing with flavor. My day and I also enjoyed the scallops well prepared and tasty
