Our waiter Emma was great and our food was amazing! My husband got the chicken parmigiana he said it was the best he has ever had. I got gluten free pasta with bolognese and it was cooked perfectly, most places tend to over cook gluten free pasta. I have celiac disease and they were knowledgeable about gluten free and can confirm I did not get sick. I got the drink called the happy accident and it was delicious. We look forward to eating there again when we are in town again.

Beware hidden fees! We had lunch where the dishes we ordered, a seafood Udon soup, and crispy fish, were already quite high for lunch, $24 and $22, respectively. What we didn’t expect was the double charge for hot tea that we shared (one tea bag!), the 4% up charge for using a credit card, and the $3 up charge for “allergy modification “ on an item labeled gluten free on the menu. The receipt was not itemized, so we later went to ask for the reason the total was $9 more than expected. We were shown the fine pront at the bottom of the menu about the gluten free up charge. I am not sure if the credit card up charge was on the menu anywhere. The food tasted good apart from being too salty. But both of us experienced gastrointestinal upset for a day after eating there.

I didn’t think flavors like this existed. The ambience is incredible and a true southern delight. The portions are on the smaller-side, but the depth of flavors and textures will leave you full and happy you ventured to explore this incredible establishment. They have gluten-friendly options across their menu, and their octopus dish is the best I’ve ever had.

Anna was amazing! We’re visiting here - and she made it such a great experience. She helped me find something gluten free + was really sweet to our family. She went above and beyond and I really wanted to make sure to leave a review because she genuinely cares and wanted to provide a good experience. Thank you Anna! The food was really good and we will most definitely be back!
