Review of Applebee's

I ordered the balsamic chicken and strawberry salad, marked gf on the menu. I asked the server to make sure she alerted the kitchen to prevent across cross contact. She gave me an attitude and said 'it's marked gf on the menu, isn't it?' Lo and behold, when it was served to me, a delicious, steamy, fresh baked bread stick was sitting on top of it. This was NOT mentioned on the menu, and after telling the server I needed to est gf, I was not happy nor did I feel safe. Also, being reminded of what I'm missing out on by having this breadstick waved under my nose was really not an uplifting experience. If you have Celiac like me I'd stay away from his place.
