    Gluten free

    My family and I ate lunch here. Loved the restaurant atmosphere but for lunch the menu for gluten free is limited. It is pricy but I want to try the dinner menu in the future. Food tasted great and was totally safe from cross contamination.

    Cocktails

    Bartender was attentive. We ordered Caymus wine and old fashion. It is located along the river. It appeared that the flow of traffic was heading to the Peace Center for an event. The food presented nearby looked amazing.

    Menu is heavy on meat and seafood. Just look at their menu online or give them a call.
