I've eaten here 4 times now and each time the food was consistently delicious! It's a dedicated gluten free restaurant that caters to other dietary restrictions as well. The fish and chips are consistently delicious and I also love the risotto and fried risotto balls!

The cheese curds and Brussels were amazing. Had the fish and chips for my entree and it was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend for anyone with celiacs but you’ll enjoy this spot if you’re not gluten free too.

I tried the watermelon and radish ceviche on special and it was delicious.So great to have gluten-free fish and chips and chocolate-chip cookies! Things I often can't eat! There was also a huge variety of menu items for various restrictions, and everything looked very tasty, not like bland substitutions or anything.Somewhat difficult to find parkingPaid parking lot, Free street parking, Paid street parkingNo dedicated parking lot. You can try to find street parking, or there's a paid lot fairly nearby next to the bowling alley.Despite a large alcohol selection, only the area right next to the bar is restricted to not allow minors.
