Review of Flair Restaurant & Bar

The owner, Chef Hector, is amazing, so is his restaurant! The waitstaff was understanding, pleasant, and accommodating. My waiter came out with fresh gluten-free rolls just for me knowing I could not enjoy the gluten ones brought to the table. Chef Hector also came out and reassured me that he could accommodate almost all dishes on his menu with my dietary restrictions as the greatest priority. I have Celiac Disease and cannot have any gluten found in wheat, barley, rye, and ever so often contaminated oats. He understood the need for a dedicated fryer for the prevention of contamination, that he had. I had the most delicious Yacca Fries with chimichurri sauce, and Empanadas with hashed brown potatoes and tomato relish for an appetizer, all GF, shared with my family. I then had the cream of cauliflower soup with smoked gouda and browned butter. I was also in the mood for seafood, so I did go with grilled salmon with sage dill remoulade over yellow rice and squash. I even ended up taking dessert home as the restaurant is connected to his delicious bakery that offers a nice gluten-free selection. From flourless chocolate decadence cake to gluten-free cupcakes, and so much more. The bakery is called Mix, right by the restaurant in Southington, CT. The owner reassured me that the menu would all be labeled GF in the next few weeks, but not to worry. He has a personal connection to wheat allergy and understands the importance of cross-contamination prevention. This was one of the best fine dining experiences I have had in Connecticut in a long time. I have three kids ages 8-13 and everyone left happy.
