Food Allergy Facts

Before placing your order, please inform your server if you or any person in your party has a food allergy. When we are made aware of allergies, we make every attempt to segment our food. However, there are times when cross contamination may occur despite our best efforts.

We do not use peanut oil in our kitchen or use peanuts in any of our dishes. We have many options for folks with a peanut or a tree nut allergy. Some vendors we buy from may process peanuts or other nuts in the same facilities as their products.

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.

If you suffer from a severe allergy and have more specific concerns please always feel free to call or email ahead of time.

Choking hazard: We often have toys and crayons available for guest use. We do not carry under 3 toys or crayons.
