Nearly everything on the menu — including the chips — is gluten-free! Their new printed menu doesn’t show GF menu items though, strangely. The waiters were confused that nothing was labeled and had to go back to consult with the old menu. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

I almost put four stars but then felt guilty. The reason being the portion sizes seem small for the price, but I'm going to add the caveat that I live in a rural area, where things are dirt cheap. So it's likely my bias. That aside, the food was great. I got a ham and brie and they had gluten free bread which is always exciting. Gluten free is well marked on the menu. overall, a nice little lunch spot.

Extremely delicious food! Was in the town for the weekend and stopped in for brunch because I saw this restaurant was exclusively plant-based. I got the gluten-free savory waffles (under the brunch menu waffles 2 ways) which could quite easily be the tastiest breakfast I’ve ever had. Was able to eat outdoors and enjoy the weather too ☀️ Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back and try some more!

I've been here several times for lunch and dinner, it is always astoundingly good. I have gluten sensitivity and they always accommodate me very easily and I always feel like I have a lot of options on the menu. Some stand out dishes for me are the potato cake with smoked salmon, the trout amandine, and the chocolate mousse. If you're going for dinner, the pork chop is a very solid choice, but it's hard to go wrong with basically anything. I would say the risotto is okay, maybe a little under-seasoned but I can't really find anything else to fault this place for. All of that said, it's somehow still pretty easy to just walk up and get a table on a seemingly busy night. I don't know how they do it in such a small kitchen but it's awesome. If you're looking for a high quality place to go for a lunch or dinner in a medium price range then this is the place, one of my favorites in Charlottesville after living here 5 years.
