 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing gluten free options! The bread is homemade and tastes delicious! I live the atmosphere and the wait staff is great. I would recommend the BLT! One recommendation for management is to send the fries out with some sort of AIOLI dipping sauce :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Delicious chicken caesar cutlet - perfect balance of dressing, greens and parm.  Zucchini corn fritters with ranch dip was a hit with the kids. First time ordering the blackened chicken rice bowl - loved it, great flavor and had a stunning presentation. And of course - we always love the fries, a must have!
