Food allergy safety is central to how this restaurant operates. Its founders knew the struggle of dining out with celiac disease, which drove an extensive gluten free menu and a broader ability to customize almost any dish. Allergy training is required for every team member. Before seating, the host team asks whether anyone needs a gluten free menu, and menus are color-coded so servers recognize gluten free guests. Servers ask about food allergies when greeting the table, and a manager is notified when a guest has a dietary restriction. Allergy orders are written on a purple card and passed to the manager running the kitchen, who instructs the cooks. Those cooks use sanitized equipment set aside for allergy orders, along with color-coded knives, cutting boards and utensils. The restaurant is a sponsor of the Boston Children's Hospital Celiac Program.

The restaurant sits on South University Drive in Plantation, a short distance from Peters Road and about half a mile from North University Drive. Temple Koi Ami Preschool is roughly 0.4 miles away and Jacaranda School about 0.6 miles away, with the Port Everglades Expressway also about 0.6 miles from the location.

That allergy protocol, paired with a menu built from scratch, is what sets this Plantation bar and grill apart for diners managing celiac disease or other dietary restrictions.
