Not recommended, Documented unsafe for this allergen: refuses to accommodate, multiple bad reports, or a documented incident. Surfaced as a warning rather than a recommendation.
Multiple sources report conflicting information about gluten-free safety. The owner claimed a 100% gluten-free kitchen, but several diners report getting sick after eating here, and the FindMeGlutenFree page warns it is not a dedicated facility. One review states the venue is 'no longer a dedicated facility.' Given the documented incidents of illness and contradictory claims, this venue is not recommended for coeliac diners.
Honest caveat: Multiple independent reviews report getting sick after eating here, and the venue's own platform warns it is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.

Not recommended, Documented unsafe for this allergen: refuses to accommodate, multiple bad reports, or a documented incident. Surfaced as a warning rather than a recommendation.
A documented nut-allergy incident occurred: a child with severe nut/seed allergy was assured twice by staff that a bowl was nut-free, but cashews were found throughout the dish. Staff attributed the error to information being lost between team members. The reviewer warns the venue's system for communicating allergen information does not work. This venue is not recommended for nut-allergy diners.
Honest caveat: A documented incident where a child with severe nut/seed allergy was served cashews after being assured twice by staff the dish was nut-free.
