Everyone was super knowledgeable about our needs. The waitress wrote a special allergy ticket for us. They had a really complete GF menu too. My kids weren’t interested in the offerings on the kids menu so we ended up getting three entrees for two adults and two kids, and they brought us extra plates and we just all had a bit of everything, which was fun.

Wow!! I had the chicken lettuce wraps and chicken picatta, it was amazing!!! I also got free gluten free bread before dinner. The gluten free menu was extensive and included desserts but sadly there was no room for the flourless chocolate cake. Prices were very reasonable for the quality of food there! Definitely a place to go to enjoy a normal gluten free experience!

This place has a nice ambiance and offers a GF menu with quite a few offerings including appetizers and dessert. I had a shrimp and scallop risotto dish along with a caramel crème brûlée. The food was good and no ill effects.

We asked for gluten free menu my husband ordered from gluten free menu he has celiac disease and they brought him gluten free bread along with a salad that had croutons made from their regular pretzel bread on it then brought his steak covered in battered and fried onion rings. We were asked when making the reservation of special occasion it was my birthday our reservation card set on the table even stated birthday but waitress never acknowledged it once. I feel no attention was brought to my spouses meal and this is an expensive restaurant so I expected better attention to allergy details! He didn't want me to say anything tonthe waitress it was upsetting to me and definitely put a damper on our evening!

I ordered Hummus plate from the GF menu and it came to the table with Pita bread.. I immediately asked the waitress if it was GF. She assured me it was, I jokingly asked her again if she was positive and she said "absolutely we make our pita GF. I ate quite a bit of it and it just kept feeling wrong.. like I could taste the flour.. I then said, Wow these are great, can you ask the chef how they do it- she then seemed nervous. I flagged down another server who then told me he didn't think they were GF.. Finally the manager came out and apologized continually about they were in fact NOT GF. She was unbelievably kind, we had no bill and they gave my friend and I gift cards. They place is awesome and the food is great! I will go back I just really urge people to triple check with servers about the dishes. I would of still given it 5 stars but I feel like death at the moment so it doesn't seem fair :(

Waitress was extremely knowledgeable about cross contamination and assured me others with celiac eat there often and that the kitchen has a dedicated gluten free space. Kitchen manager even came out to thank us for trusting them with allergies as they take it very seriously and they appreciated us choosing to eat there.

The manager came over and told me how safe the kitchen and food were for celiacs. They had a fantastic GF menu. I was so excited to eat out. Fast forward that night and I was so sick. It was not a minor episode from a little cc. It was full blown. I will never trust them again.

I have eaten at Cooper’s Hawk Annapolis many times over the years. I just ate there for the second time since my celiac diagnosis. The menu is extensive, and their recommended wine pairings are helpful. There is an actual physical gf menu. It has a number of good offerings. Last time the salad I ordered came out with croutons by mistake. The server was very embarrassed and said she threw it out herself and spoke with the chef. I appreciated the server’s concern. It was a good meal and evening.

Fortunately this time there weren’t any hiccups. The server said she marked my order “gluten allergy”, which would mean it would be cooked separately. The server brought me warm gf bread, a good Cabernet S., a kale caesar side salad and, for the main course, a Black and Bleu cheeseburger, grilled squash and fresh fruit. It was all delicious. I may join their wine club.
