“Without a doubt the best food I've eaten, it gave me a new perspective. Food prior to this was an insult to cuisine, perfectly seasoned, smoked and prepared. Phenomenal service, balanced craft cocktails and indescribablely good food. The fact that this hidden gem doesn't have a Michelin star is unbelievable. As someone with celiac disease, this was an entirely safe, comforting restaurant that made me truly feel that Gluten free food can be not just edible, but true artistry.“
