Review of Drakes

They had GF bread as a substitute on the menu, but they were not at all educated on Celiac-level stuff. I’m sort of amazed I didn’t get sick, but luckily the meal was very good.

I asked if the bread was toasted in the same toaster as other bread. After checking, answer was yes. So, I ordered a California Omelet, and asked that it be marked ‘celiac’ and asked that it be made in its own skillet. The order first came back with regular bread laying on the omelet. I explained that I couldn’t have bread even touch it, and they made another one. This time it came with GF bread laying on it. I said thank you, gave the bread to my husband and ate the omelet. Our waitress was very nice, but she never came by again, so I never had the opportunity to speak with her again. Didn’t ask how it was, nothing. And we were super nice, so don’t think she was avoiding us. All in all, I like the place, the food was good, but it felt risky for me. And nothing on the menu was marked GF, so you need to inquire.
