Edison: Food+Drink Lab

eautiful restaurant with a very intimate and romantic (in a modern way) feel! The staff is extremely pleasant and knowledgeable about gluten free dining. Our server, Brady, was helpful and very attentive (and made a killer old fashioned according to my husband) and the manager even made rounds checking on all the tables to make sure we were enjoying our meals. They do have a separate gluten free menu, with some items that can also be made gluten free. I had the oysters, pork belly and scallops (all delicious but the smoked oysters oh my god, a must) and did not get sick. I did take a glutenese before and after the meal, because it is a shared kitchen and fryer. I also only ordered items listed on the GF menu as GF, I didn’t feel like I could trust that they would remember to make a certain menu item gluten free (they did offer)The food is so amazing I want to suggest this to all my gluten free friends, but I would encourage letting the staff know. For strict celiacs I don’t think I can fully recommend it, there is such a high risk for cross. If the restaurant was able to make some of the suggestions listed below I would definitely feel more comfortable recommending it for my celiac friends. One suggestion I would make for gluten friendly diners to feel more comfortable would be to mark allergy plates, even just with an allergy skewer or different colored plates. I would definitely go back, the food is like edible art, but hope to see some changes to make gluten free diners just a little bit more comfortable.

Staff was extremely knowledgeable. When something I wanted to order contained something fried, not only did they alert me to a lack of a dedicated fryer, but pan-fried the ingredient instead of omitting. Much of the menu is already GF, or only requires a trivial substitution or omission.

Server immediately understood about celiac disease, cross contamination and that their fryer is not dedicated.

Every dish that came out for the table, he would explain which ones I could eat or not.

He provided excellent choices.

While there is no GF symbols on the menu, do not let that dissuade you! The server we had was extremely knowledgeable and was willing to ask the chef any questions we had. Most things could be modified. The food was all amazing! Chef used different flour for all items. Dessert was delicious!
