Review of 85 Main

We asked for a gluten free menu and were told that they do not have one but the whole menu can be made gluten free. Ordered apps and entrees. We were brought gluten free bread while we waited. When our app arrived, it came with gluten bread. Our waiter brought gluten free soy sauce for our entrees. He then brought our entrees. One was fried in gluten flour. We asked to verify it was gluten free. He said it was but then came back a few minutes later to say that it wasn’t because he “didn’t know we needed gluten free” even though we repeatedly told him. He took the entree back and then returned a few minutes later. It appeared, based on leftover batter still on the food, that they just took the original batter off and re-fried it. When he returned and asked if we wanted a box, we declined as the food still had gluten which is why we didn’t eat it. He argued, saying there was no batter and quickly removed the food and disposed of it. When we asked to speak with a manager, he said we could just talk to him.

To her credit, a manager did speak with us after we approached her and, upon hearing about our experience, did not charge us. That said, we have no confidence in their ability to accommodate gluten free patrons and will not be returning.
