  • Not impressed. (Be careful if you can't have gluten) The service was---weird. Staff was really friendly and welcoming. BUT it was just odd that we constantly had people coming by and checking on us. I'm all for attentive service but we could barely have a conversation because someone was coming by every few minutes to see how we were. The hostess seated us and then we had two different waiters taking orders, and two other staff coming by just to check on us. It went from "this is really nice" to "leave us alone already". We also had several staff walk by the table and simply stare. We were seated right near the kitchen which would account for all the traffic, I guess. But the staring was very unsettling. It was just odd. Food--everyone enjoyed their food. No one raved about it. Everyone in our party of five agreed there were better places to eat. But the food wasn't terrible or anything. However--I have a complaint with their gluten free menu. I do not have Celiac's but I do have autoimmune thyroid disease and have a gluten sensitivity that can severely exacerbate symptoms. So, I'm as careful as can be. I was really happy they had a menu catering to those who are gluten free. I ordered the grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and the Japanese cucumber salad. All of these are listed on the GF menu. So, the waiter comes back to the table to inform me that they cannot serve me the cucumber salad because it comes with sesame seeds so it is not gluten free. ???? Sesame seeds are not gluten. They should pose no problem. And if they do, why is the salad even listed on the GF menu and what is hard about leaving the sesame seeds off the salad? But I make a point not to argue with the people making my food so I just opted for the fruit instead. Imagine my confusion when they bring out my salmon and it is covered in sesame seeds. It was also covered in some kind of asian ginger sauce. Most asian sauces do have gluten. The GF menu did not mention any kind of sauce in the description. I waited until the waiter came back over to check on us and asked him if he was sure this was a gluten free item because of the sauce. He assured me that the salmon was gluten free. I ate it but shouldn't have. Later that night I was severely ill and have had the usual symptoms I get when getting "glutened". Yes, this is partially on me because I should have trusted my instincts; especially when they refused to bring me a salad with sesame seeds because they are supposedly gluten but then bring me a salmon covered in sesame seeds and tell me it is GF. I do think if they are going to offer gluten free items though, they need to better train their staff. I'm pretty sure they were not supposed to include the ginger sauce on the salmon--a soy sauce that most likely contains wheat. The third star is because I seriously enjoyed the cucumber thyme lemonade.
