Review of Farina's Wine Bar & Cafe

Not a single staff member knew anything about gluten, our server would disappear into the kitchen for 10-15 minutes to ask what we could eat. We had looked and looked for a place to eat all night and eventually found this, and were assured we could eat here by the hostess. Guess what? After an hour of asking, we found out our only safe options were soup and salad. It was so late we had to get it to go because it was getting dark and we had walked here. The server was utterly clueless and conflated dairy and gluten, but the manager was very kind and tried his best. He gave us our food free, and offered to drive us home since it was getting dark. I hate to say this with how nice he was, but I really wouldn’t recommend this place to any celiac, but that being said, all the other reviews are good enough and the manager was nice enough that I can’t give this place TOO low a rating
