Review of Ashling Kitchen and Bar

Stay away!!! I specifically chose this restaurant because they marked items as “Gluten Sensitive”due to the risk of cross-contamination. Given that I was already proceeding with caution so I ordered the Brussel Sprouts which were roasted not fried. As soon as I took a bite I realized they had some type of soy sauce in them which was not in the menu description. When I asked the server to check with the chef he said they were made with teriyaki sauce. The server apologized but later came back and said I could have eaten them because they were made with thai chili sauce. Let me tell you, as someone who has been gluten free for 2 years, it was definitely teriyaki sauce! They assured me my salad would be safe because they “told the chef what gluten was” and then asked if I was satisfied when it came out and mentioned it didn’t have croutons on it. To summarize, I don’t think they have a good understanding of what gluten is other than bread and I don’t think it’s safe for anyone who has sensitivities or celiac.
