Went for lunch while in the area and was pleasantly surprised. I did a quick search for gluten free and found this place. My mother has Celiac and was over the moon that she could have anything on the menu! My shakshuka was good, she loved her chicken sandwich. But the star of lunch was the fried calamari. The place is cute and intimate, good music playing. We'll be back next time we're near.

Staff was great. Food not so much. Fried calamar was the worst I've ever had, tough and chewy. Burger was RAW,I don't know if it was even put on the grill. Told the waiter burger was raw and he agreed. I was offended a complimentary glass of wine . They still charge us for the burger even though I only took two bites of RAW chop meat, wasn't asked if I wanted recooked

The food was excellent just like in all the other reviews I definitely was not disappointed, and very happy with my choice. The one downside was that it was a little too bright with the yellow walls and bright, bright lighting for a dinner atmosphere feeling. When I first walked in, it felt like I was about to eat breakfast, but again the food was absolutely spectacular and I soon forgot about the atmosphere

Food was pretty decent. Service was horrible. Took 20 minutes to get a menu & another 20 minutes before ordering. Server saw us twice. Unfortunately would never do again. It is really sad the food was great.

Parking: Parking was a little difficult to find, however behind the building is plenty of parking in a municipal lot and you enter the building through the rear entrance. Plenty of signs within that entrance to make sure you get to the restaurant.

Went to have lunch today after hearing good reviews. I was excited to try, so my son and I ordered two different dishes. His was the chicken which came out well cooked. I ordered a burger medium rare with cheddar and when i took a bite the burger was raw inside. (Fyi i went to culinary school so not in my head). I showed the waitress and she was wonderfully apologetic after seeing it and asked if i would like them to remake it. I said thank you and shared my sons sandwich. During that time i noticed the table next to me also sent their burger back and asked to take their new one to go.My second burger came out and when i bit in i immediately saw the burger was past well done. Again i called the waitress over to show her and she agreed and said she was so sorry. I am not sure if the chef was being a clown because he was upset about the burger being sent back or if he was just unaware of how to cook a burger. I was disappointed a manager never came by because i would have gladly let it go. So sad i have to write a review because i hate communicating this way. Hopefully it was just a bad day and my experience was in the minority.

A full menu that is (or can be made) gluten free?! Dream come true. This includes multiple gluten free beers, including a Belgian white on draft. Had a delicious meal, from apps to entree and a big highlight, dessert. Blondie sundae! Enjoyable ambiance and friendly waiter. Was quite busy when we arrived at 7 pm but cleared out by 8 pm. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Chose restaurant because of location to The Suffolk (was seeing a show there the night I went to dinner). Food was good and ambiance was very nice and clean. No Bailey's (they ran out)...kind of bummed out the drinking part of the meal. French Onion soup was on the salty side (I had to send it back) so if I visit the restaurant again, definitely want to try that again bc it looked so good. Overall good experience and would recommend it.

Went and had dinner at this restaurant where we were warmly greeted and were able to pick our table where we wanted to are. The nice fireplace provided a warm ambiance which was needed on a cold night. Our server was very nice especially when we asked her about the different items on the menu. We started with soups ( tomato and French onion) and skillet cornbread. My main meal was crab cakes and Caesar salad The food was tasty all around .

Great service and food. My family and I have gone there several times to celebrate birthdays and other happy occasions. It doesn't matter what your order - Vegetarian, Fish, or Meat. Each dish comes out like it was made in a Michelin restaurant and tastes superb. We have never been disappointed.
