Ordered the salmon with mashed potatoes and broccoli which states it’s gluten free. Later found out that the broccoli is cooked in pasta water. How is that gluten free?! Why do these restaurants have GF on their menu and the food is not prepared accordingly and get away with this!! Unacceptable!

There was no flavor to the pasta and I got sick for days. They use the same strainers to cook the pasta which now makes sense as to why I got sick.

Went there today, ordered ribeye steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. Two hours later, here I am, crapping my guts out. Waitress seemed knowledgeable and assured me that my meal was gf. My gut says otherwise. Eventually found that they heated the plain green beans in the pasta water!! I got a full refund, but still lost a sick day from work. This was so avoidable.

Even though items are listed as gluten free. They are not. I ordered the gluten-free shrimp with pasta. As I was eating I noticed a regular pasta noodle mixed in with the gluten-free pasta. When I called the manager over to complain, and let him know that I would probably be sick for a few days, he told me they probably used the same strainer for both types of pasta, which is unacceptable. As predicted, I did get sick. I also complained to the corporate office

Went to the one in Princeton nj. In Quaker town mall today. Was all excited to order off the new gf menu. And when my pasta came I said to the server are you sure this is gluten free? It taste and looks too good. She said yes. Than a free mins. Later the waiter runs over and asks me if its ok that it's not gluten free? Huh? I didn't hear that. The music was kind of loud I thought he was asking me is it ok cause it's not the fuseli pasta it's the angel hair. But my mom herd him and said it louder! No it's not ok! I've been gf for 7 years for a reason! If I wanted to get sick and eat gluten I would choose to eat a croissant !!!! The manager says they dropped the ball. I said they need better training . Lesson , can't trust restaurant service! Great. I asked how am I going to come hear and eat???? Enjoyed the guacamole . Hope the chips were really gf.? Only put the star cause I had to. They should have a better system if there going to provide a gf menu they better actually serve it to you. And put a simple sign for it for Pete sakes! And get better communication!!! It's just not right!

Gluten free menu but not celiac friendly. Staff not knowledgeable enough to properly serve someone with celiac disease. Plates are always dirty so who knows what was on there. Nice to offer the gluten free menu but they really need to be properly trained in gluten free preparation.

Was not bad but experience varies by server. We came twice as staying nearby... only on the 2nd visit did our server correct the misinformation from the first server.

There is NO dedicated fryer... it is shared oil. A lot of the staff are unclear of the difference

Tried to order a gluten free four cheese pasta for my Celiac daughter. When asked if they cook the pasta in separate water and use separate utensils, they said unfortunately they cook it in the same water as gluten pasta and they can’t use separate water. :(
