   My first time here and highly unlikely I will come again. I got the burger. Sorry, but it was terrible. First of all, it was tiny. Had no flavor. And the secret sauce was yucky - mayo and balsamic vinaigrette. The hummus starter was ok, although the pita was hard and thin. My friend's curry dish was OK, but she barely ate any. The place was not busy but our server did not check on us nearly frequently enough. She was friendly.

   Our waitress was great. Drinks from the bar were yet to be desired.

   Server, Catherine was good. She tried to answer our request about the quality of a gluten free bun on a turkey burger. My wife's selected the gluten free bun which turned out to be so hard that it could not be cut with knife or eaten as a sandwich. Catherine got another bun for her but second one was not much softer to eat. Catherine said the kitchen had a new kind of gluten free bun. Time to research this? Two weeks ago, we had the same selection and found it to be very good. This time, the burgers even seemed overcooked / dried out. We'll wait until patio dining is open to give it another try because it's usually pretty good.

   My friend has very severe food restrictions and doesn't eat out much. no gluten, no dairy, no soy, no peanuts ... but this restaurant lists all their ingredients and makes everything from scratch. We were able to have a nice night out and the food was really, really good. Also, our waitress was very knowledgeable about every dish we asked about. Thanks so much for a lovely meal.
