Review of Blind Squirrel

I went to the Blind Squirrel and was somewhat disappointed by the menu. It is very misleading. The waitress was wonderful, and the manager was very helpful, but most of the items listed as "gluten free" are prepared in shared oil or on shared surfaces with gluten items. I actually have a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac, so I have to be especially careful eating out. They were willing to prepare a burger for me (no sides) in a separate pan, but I didn't want a burger. We did really enjoy the atmosphere and the other people in my party had an appetizer (they don't have any food related allergies), and finished their drinks and we went elsewhere for our meal. I am giving them a 3 star rating because they were very nice and did not have an issue answering my questions. Also, if you just want to have a drink with your friends (I was the DD that night), there are gluten free drink options. I would go back for the atmosphere alone, but I would not eat there.
