Exceptional. I'm celiac and I never get to eat anywhere. I get sick from cross contamination at least 40% of the time I attempt to eat at a new restaurant. It is wonderful to be able eat at a dedicated gluten free restaurant. This place is gorgeous, beautiful ambiance. Friendly service. My boyfriend and I both enjoyed our cocktails. We had the pork belly tacos and huli huli chicken tacos and Mac salad. The only thing that tasted the slightest bit "gluten free" was the Mac salad. My boyfriend who is not celiac said he loved his tacos. The menu emphasizes naturally gluten free foods and taste is not compromised for it to be gluten free. For the people leaving negative reviews about this place, I simply do not understand. The food is better than average here. Other people left reviews that said it's expensive here. I'd love to know WHERE you are eating that you can get lunch or dinner for under $20-$25 per plate in 2025. Taco Bell? Prices here are totally reasonable, especially considering the quality and decent portion sizes. Our tacos were stuffed full of meat. I suppose your meal can get a little pricey if you add cocktails like we did, but that's a part of drinking alcohol at any restaurant, and I did see they had a happy hour menu with $10 cocktails. The menu also stated that they avoid seed oils, use non GMO food, and the meat was grass fed or pasture raised. We loved the healthy, eclectic menu items, and we will return!

Found this place randomly while driving from Reno to Napa. Opened up the “Find Me GF” app and had to do a double take when I saw this was a dedicated gluten free restaurant. Looked over the menu online and was very excited to try. My partner is GF (I am not) and we always worry about cross contamination while eating out so this was a NO BRAINER!I I was cautious of the recent negative reviews but again no risk of contamination is enough reason to try. So glad we did! We started with the coconut prawns appetizer; the sauce was delicious and well balanced, prawns cooked perfectly. I don’t mind that they’re not a fried version as they tasted healthier and fresher. Partner had the burger and I tried his bun and I was blown away with the texture and flavor. It was spongy and chewy in all the right ways. I didn’t try his burger he but certainly enjoyed it. I had the Pacific Chowder “Tom Kha” and the bowl was very substantial and filling with great flavor; I had to take half of it home to enjoy later.

The ambiance and service here is wonderful and we certainly will make this a must stop every time we’re driving down 50. This restaurant will be a reason to visit the area; worth the drive.

I highly recommend this establishment and wish we had one local to Reno!

Dedicated gluten free restaurants can be hard to find when traveling. This was a wonderful place to stop. Super cute and I loved being able to order anything on the menu without second guessing everything. The teriyaki lettuce wraps for the happy hour was my favorite by far.

I was excited to bring my daughter here for her birthday, as the restaurant had been recommended to us. Unfortunately, our experience was less than satisfying. The service was great, but the food very disappointing. We started with the cucumber salad. The cucumbers were rubbery, and the salad had a stale taste, like it had been sitting in the fridge for a couple of days. My expensive burger was one of the worst I've ever had. The meat was overcooked, dry, and crumbly. The gluten-free bun was stale, and flavorless. My macaroni salad was a gloppy pile of mush and mayonnaise. On a better note, my daughter's salmon bowl was good, but overly salty.

took my bf to eat here for his birthday on 1/13 and we absolutely loved it! it was our first time stopping by as well; the atmosphere was beautiful with all the REAL plants and the music was definitely a vibe! our server was very attentive and friendly. I appreciated his insight on the Miso Mahi Mahi plate and am so glad I tried it out - it was delicious! my bf loved his plate as well, and the drinks were great too! will definitely need to come back when we are in the area!!!

We are vegan and announced this to our server right away. We ordered the"clarified" margaritas, Brussels sprouts, sweet potato tacos, kabocha curry, and macadamia and carrot salad. The Brussels were not even a little bit crispy, which was disappointing. Flavor was good. The tacos were more mushroom than ube, and mushrooms were supposed to be "confit" but were more steamed. Flavor was good. The kabocha curry was equal parts kabocha, spinach, cauliflower, ube, and red pepper. The largest component on the plate was eggplant, which was not even mentioned on the menu. Rice was about 1/4 cup, so ratio was too little for the plate. Flavor was good. Macadamia nut salad should have been called "spring mix citrus salad with almonds." Flavor was good but should have been $10 max. Lastly, upon complimenting the server for recommending the margaritas, he said they are marinated over night in milk, and then they strain out the curdles to clarify. This wouldn't be a problem for an omnivore, but when the server knows we're vegan, he should have told us about the milk contamination. If the owner is reading this, stick some frozen Impossible patties in your freezer so vegetarians can enjoy your burgers. Also kabocha skin is edible, so no need to peel.

Came here because it was a dedicated gluten free establishment. I also have a severe soy allergy. The staff were super helpful in guiding me to safe dishes to eat. My husband, who can eat everything (no food allergies), LOVED his hamburger. Said it was amazing. The drink menu has awesome selections. We highly encourage you to try this place.

I highly recommend the pork belly tacos. The unique flavor of citrus umami really pops. My only regret is that I didn't have room for more!
