“Visited you today, husband's steak was so good. My teriyaki chicken was not tender and was very dry. As I have Celiac Disease and cannot eat gluten, I ask our server about my options and was told I could order anything on the right side of the menu. But she didn't explain there would be no sauce whatsoever on it. And not to use the soy sauce in front of me. I do not recommend this restaurant if you cannot eat gluten. I do appreciate they comped my meal at least. But it is so sad not to be able to eat good flavorful food without any gluten in it.“
