Review of Emerald Restaurant

Depending on your level of sensitivity, you may choose to steer clear of Emerald. Upon my asking, I was informed that the gluten free options were grilled on the same fryers as regular items. When I asked about what dressings I could have on the gluten free Cobb salad, the server got frustrated (as did I) and told me she didn't know and wouldn't bother to ask the chef in the middle of a packed restaurant. She then went on to say that there aren't labels on their dressings, that they fill them from vats, and that she couldn't check the ingredients even if she wanted to. I didn't end up ordering anything with the rest of my table and eventually she came back and said that the chef would make me a Greek dressing. I ate it, it tasted fine, and the next day I got moderately sick, which I probably deserved for losing my cool with her. Anyway, they seem to treat gluten free as more of a fad diet label than a safety guideline.
