They really shouldn't list their options as gluten-free, rather low gluten since non of the gluten free options that drew me to this location can be prepared gluten free. They only have one grill and there is cross-contamination. Since we had already waited a long time for the table, I talked to my server about my allergies and what I could eat. I have a gluten and dairy allergy and the waiter asked if my allergy was "severe". I said yes. So he told me they could prepare the scrambled eggs I wanted in a separate pan. Got my scramble and it had cheese in it. This made me really upset because, while human errors happen, my health is in the cooks hands and what happens when they make mistakes I can't see. I tried to explain this to the waiter, who hadn't really apologized and was more trying to make it into a joke with me, that it makes me feel unsafe and that maybe the restaurant should review allergy protocols to make sure that human error is less likely to happen. He told me there was nothing else they could do as a small place and that if someone has a severe allergy they shouldn't eat here, that he would tell them to leave.... even though I had told him that and he assured me they could handle it.

Moral of story: IF YOU ARE ACTUALLY ALLERGIC TO ANYTHING, DON'T EAT HERE

Celiac friendly?
