Zoodles were a good option tonight when the server told me they were out of gf pasta. No croutons in salad, server seemed knowlegable and trained. Server was happy to confirm Italian sausage was gf. Still... came home feeling "glutoned".

I love their food here. They are good about taking care of a gluten allergy, as well as other food restrictions if needed. They will customize dishes for you if you ask. They lost stars for poor variety of gf options when they clearly have the ingredients on hand to make more of their dishes gf, being too expensive when you need to make substitutions with things that actually cost much less (especially when it appears as if they make everything from the bottom up for each individual order), and for not educating all of their staff about food allergies. I have learned to stress the importance of my needs because about 5% of the time I'll get someone working there who has no idea, and I have gotten sick twice due to crossover. One time they even left croutons on a dish after clearly emphasizing that it was gf! Normally they do take great care to prepare foods appropriately, even taking explicit precautions in the kitchen. And bend over backwards to make sure it's gf! But there is that periodical off person you'll get who has no idea. We eat here about once a month.

Ok food - GF pasta was a bit under cooked so it detracted from the yummy sauce

Ordered takeout. I like to order pastas that are distinctly different from the gluten free version to test the restaurants. In this case, I ordered a pasta that normally comes with fusilli and subbed gluten free penne. Cross contamination occurred because I found fusilli in my dish part way through.

I ordered a house salad and garlic shrimp on zucchini noodles. I Nima tested both dishes, and gluten was found in both. Fortunately, the waiter didn’t charge me for the meal.
