Review of Bistro Menil

I was so excited to try this restaurant because of all of the excellent reviews, gluten free menu with a wide variety of gluten free options including desserts. The dining experience was perfect. However, 12 hour later the usual symptoms of gluten consumption occurred which were very unpleasant. I ordered the snapper with crab that was the special for the day and was told by the server it was gluten free. I also had the gluten free BlackBerry cake. I have celiac disease and am super sensitive to gluten contamination. I suspect this place is safe for those who are less sensitive. Houston needs more options for people with celiac disease. It is hard to believe that there are so few options in a city of 2.3 million people.
