We have several gluten-free menu options and gluten-free vegan bread. We are not a gluten free facility.
We are also happy to change the way we cook items to order to ensure more choices for those with gluten or other food allergies. We can, of course, make any substitutions to build a plate that suits your palette and your dietary needs.
