Blue Talon Bistro

This establishment lies about their menu. I was booked into this restaurant for a wedding dinner and visited earlier in the day to check the menu. The hostess claimed that they were celiac friendly and had "an entire separate menu" for allergies. When we arrived for dinner I was given the regular menu with everything but three items crossed off and those three items were barebones - all accoutrements were removed. I had a choice between plain chicken with nothing, plain fish with nothing, and lettuce with vinegar. I chose the lettuce with vinegar. If you end up stuck in this awful town, eat at the mellow mushroom instead.

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— No gluten-free information on the menu

Prices were definitely higher than $$. More like $$$. There were only a few choices as far as gf goes. I had the Shredded Caesar Salad without croutons. It was ok. It was satisfying, but not $$$ worth.

Michelle was our server. She was wonderful. The staff was superb to make sure my meal was GF. The rotisserie herb chicken with mashed potatoes was amazing and capped off with the chocolate flourless cake with chocolate ganache sauce and french press coffee. One of our favs now.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a separate menu for dinner that is pretty clear about GF options, but the breakfast choices are skimpy. I ordered the European breakfast platter and asked if they could change the baguette to fruit and they said no, so it came with a slice of orange and an unripe strawberry. Service has really declined recently. The hostess was grumpy and the server barely spoke a word to us. The Parisian hot chocolate is fabulous and gluten-free. We probably won’t be back, after coming every year for over ten years.
