Review of Chesapeake House

The ONLY reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the waitress was obviously NOT knowledgeable with gluten until I filled her in. This has been a long time favorite restaurant of mine but I haven’t eaten there since being diagnosed with celiac until now. They have a great gluten free menu. Lots of options. I had the fish stew which comes with the meal along with a salad with 1,000 island dressing, broiled flounder and sautéed shrimp and a baked potato. The first issue was when I ordered and the waitress told me she had not ever had anyone order from the GF menu so I’m assuming she was new especially since she offered me twice to have my food fried which I knew I couldn’t along with the fact that the menu did not offer that. I also told her no croutons on my salad and when my salad came out...it had one crouton on the side along with crouton crumbs so I had to stress that I needed a new salad and not just have the croutons scraped off. That was annoying but she brought me a new salad and said that she watched them make it new.

The food was wonderful like I always remembered. And I did not get sick so I would say they were good with cross contamination minus the first salad. Just be careful and make sure you stress the fact if you need them to be extra careful.
