Felt like the server understood my needs, but I definitely got glutened here. I had the salmon a top risotto- tasted delicious. But one of the worst glutenings I’ve had

I felt safe eating here. The waitress said they have probably 100 people a day coming through and requesting gluten free. As mentioned dby others, they don't have a dedicated gluten free menu, but they do offer gluten free bread, pasta, and a daily gluten free dessert. They were quite busy, and the waitress still took her time getting my order right. The food was delicious.

We stopped for a late lunch. I was excited to try their Bistro Club! I was happy to see that they offer GF bread. They also have GF deserted available. I got the GF bistro club and it was good. You could tell the bread was GF because it fell a part a little bit. I got the french fries as a side and I personally did not get sick. I will definitely go again next time I visit this area!

The gluten free items aren't marked on the menu, but the servers are knowledgeable about what is gluten free. We eat here regularly and have never been glutened. I have never tried the gf pasta so I haven't asked if the cook it separately.

Had the Gorgonzola Cranberry Salad. As gluten sensitive, seemed a safe choice. Fresh, good food. I understand they have GF pasta, which I was told by the server is fixed separately & in its own water. Didn't test it. Great atmosphere on the patio.

They had gf bread for sandwiches and several other gf options. I got the portobello mushroom Sammy which was very delicious however the bread was soggy and you had to end eating with a fork because the bread crumbled into nothing. Bread should’ve been toasted. My husband enjoyed the grouper Reuben and Mac and cheese too. He is not gf. Did not get sick.

The menu is varied and the food is delicious--the whole table of non-GF eaters was happy. However, I asked multiple times about different ingredients and was told the gnocchi was gluten free. After a few bites, it tasted too good, and I was right--server "checked" for a second time and said that it had "some" flour in it. I hoped that the three-year-old review wouldn't hold true, but Celiacs, proceed with caution.

Tasty food, knowledgeable server, brought toasted gf bread to accompany the homemade pimiento cheese (besides the celery and flatbread for the rest of the table). Unfortunately they were out of gf pasta so couldn't have the man and cheese side. Everything was great!

If I was a "regular" diner this would have been a lovely experience - unfortunately, for a Celiac-er this was the worst. Sparing the long disappointing story, I'll just say that even though I specifically ordered gluten free pasta, and had several interactions with the unfortunately ignorant server about my GF needs, I was served regular pasta. It took 2 bites for me to know for sure, and within 10 minutes I was experiencing symptoms. Our meal was comped, but sadly the damage was done. The place is cute though with a decent menu, if you're brave enough to try it make sure you double check every thing! A little server education would go a long way here.
