The staff was knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions. Not only did I feel safe about no cross contamination, the gluten free food was fantastic! We had Appetizers, entrée and dessert. (The Gluten free Beignets were out of this world) Please make them a permanent item on the menu! Good portions, even left with boxes of leftovers. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back! Thank you, Jillian for a great experience. 😁😁😁“

Only thing I hope they will consider is to please please please provide at least any kind of bicycle parking rack. It would be much more accessible to me then. There are not even poles that I could lock my bike to so it’s hard to come if I can’t catch a ride with friends“

The Crispy calamari was just incredible. Our main entree was a melody of different seafood with linguine and a marinara sauce with a genuine spicy kick to it. No room for dessert unfortunately. We split the entree and they served it in two separate dishes. Overall an excellent experience.“
