Review of Fortify Kitchen and Bar

First and foremost, I didn't get sick. But there were several close calls. When I ordered, I let the server know I have celiac and have to avoid gluten. I then asked which sides were gluten free (they weren't shown on the menu) and he named them off including fries. I asked again if the fries were definitely gluten free and was told yes. Then I said that includes being made in a dedicated fryer without other items containing gluten? He said no, they were fried with other items with gluten so obviously I passed. After our meal, we ordered a dessert that again I was told was gluten free. When it was brought to the table, they let us know the cookie had Cheerios in it but they were gluten free... they said other customers had told them they weren't really gluten free so they wanted to mention it so I would know they are. Needless to say, I didn't eat it. There's much controversy around that and it's not worth the risk. The food I was able to eat was good but I was on edge the whole time so unable to really enjoy my meal. Perhaps we had a new server as I would have thought eating somewhere that the owner's wife has celiac would have been stress free. Again, I didn't get sick but you need to be very careful and very specific when ordering.
