Food is always great and gluten free (about 90% of the menu). If it wasn't 45 minutes from our house we would definitely come more often.

We were running late and placed our orders over the telephone before the kitchen closed and the staff was so accommodating upon our arrival. The fillet and the duck were both delicious. We will go back.
