Review of 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.
