Allergies

  • All of our menus are nut-free. If you have a different dietary restriction, select a menu that clearly notes the allergen that will be avoided. While recipes will be free of those ingredients, we are not an allergy-free facility and use shared cooking tools. Give us a call to discuss allergy modifications beyond what is listed to ensure we are able to accommodate.
