I'm not Celiac, but I am gluten intolerant. I'm out of town and visited Crave tonight. The menu clearly marks all items that either are already gluten free, or can be easily modified to be made GF. I picked several items off the sides/a la carte menu, which isn't marked. I explained to the waiter that I can't eat gluten, and said, essentially, "Please don't let me order anything breaded, coated in flour, or served with bread crumbs." LOL...He apologized, and said he wasn't certain of some of my items, and that he'd go find an answer. Another member of the staff surfaced, and carefully explained that nothing I'd ordered contained gluten outright, but that I did have a risk of cross contamination in a couple of items. I don't typically react to cross contamination, so we were good. After our food arrived, I wanted to try something on my sons plate, so I asked ahead of time, they patiently went through the whole process with me again. The waiter asked about dessert, and I went "I can't eat any of them! Gluten!" And laughed, and he laughed and said that he'd check to see if he could hook me up. He came back, and said that he'd verified I could eat the chocolate cake, although there was a risk of cross contamination from the almonds. I was so stoked I could eat a dessert, and touched by how thoughtful he was being with my meal, that I ordered the chocolate cake. Worth it. It adds a few steps to the meal to have to have everything verified (often involving multiple staff members!), but I'd much rather walk through a couple of steps then have a reaction and ruin the next couple of days of my vacation! Come with your patience, and enjoy a delicious meal!
