    The food was amazing! It was so nice to find a place that is gluten free and dairy free. And the coconut ice cream was delicious! Server was very sweet and attentive. Would go again next time I’m in the area.

    I love having confidence in how the food is prepared. Not using seed oils is preparation makes the entire menu available. The steak is amazing!
