"I met some friends here for dinner. We started off with drinks, I got a blackberry fizz mocktail. I wanted the crispy fried Brussels sprouts for an appetizer but unfortunately they couldn't be prepared without the unagi sauce, and I'm vegetarian. The paper menu shows clearly which items are gluten free but not which are vegetarian. I was dining with a gluten free companion and while there were multiple entree options, there were no dessert or appetizers that were gluten free. I had The Vegetarian pizza: cauliflower crust, kalamata olives, tomatoes, banana peppers. Incredibly good, especially that crust! 12 inch pizza, good size to eat half and take half. Also had a slice of carrot cake with strawberry sauce. Perfect size, not a honking piece that makes you sick. Moist and lovely cream cheese frosting. I was disappointed that the desserts listed on the website weren't available (coconut cream pie, creme brûlée, chocolate lasagna Total about $50/person with drink/entree/dessert. We did also have a medical emergency at my table and the staff reacted calmly and quickly to call an ambulance. There's something I don't put in many of my reviews! Just a note on covid precautions. Their website makes it sound like extensive precautions are taken but no staff were wearing masks and no masks were enforced for patrons in any way. The website was one thing that made me less uncomfortable about eating there so I was a bit disappointed by that. The food was quite good though, the dining experience was very nice, excellent friendly service. Plenty of parking."
