Had to explain what I needed to the server but once I did she she went out of her way to make sure I got safe food. Young woman ran back to the kitchen 4 times to check if something was safe. Needless to say she got a good tip.

Celiac

Review


The waiter wasn't at all knowledgable about Celiac or gluten. When I asked about how the grill items were prepared he assured me that he spoke directly to the chef and that no gluten would come in contact with my food. Contrary to what the gluten free menu stated. He insisted that all grill items were prepared with rice flour grill baste and were gluten free. Against my better judgement I ordered from the grill menu hoping that what he said was true. However, I had a reaction to something I consumed. I'm very disappointed.

I had the house salad with creamy parmesan dressing, chicken trio and garlic mashed potatoes. I was so pleased that I did not get sick. I did tell the waitress I had celiac disease / label my order with an allergy to gluten so the kitchen would prepare with care.

Review


Service was great, but I found the server to be a bit nervous. New hire maybe? I informed him of my wheat allergy. I ordered the shrimp scampi. He asked if I wanted appetizer size. I said yes. The app size came with a handful of small shrimp surrounded by toasted slices of bread. I first asked where the pasta was (there was none) and was about to question why there was bread on my plate when the plate was quickly wisked away and I was asked, "I thought you wanted the appetizer. Maybe it's me, but I have served for many a number of years... I would have double checked that order, esp with a wheat allergy. Too much to worry about there.any celiacs have no clues as to the disease...being allergic will always let you know! Servers need to be more educated. I will go back, but I don't expect servers to know better!

Considering this is a chain, it was an amazing place. They were very careful, even though the rest of my family are gluten eaters, they kept everything separate. Ask and ye shall receive. The food was soooo good and we all had enough for leftovers!

Went back several times and I have never been sick. The chicken soup (without noodles) is the bomb. Like I order it take-out when I’m sick. Just like grandma used to make, but they don’t add any noodles until they are about to serve it, so the soup is prepared gluten-free.
