Green New American Vegetarian

Got very ill eating here. I worked with the kitchen on accommodating my Celiac, and discussed which item would be safest, and have the lowest risk of cross contamination. Settled on a rice bowl with fresh tofu. Unfortunately I had a terrible reaction midway through the evening, and it caused a flare up that brought about multiple symptoms for weeks.

While they try to be accommodating, it just isn't worth the risk of getting sick again to go back. I would not recommend eating here if you have Celiac or a severe gluten sensitivity.

Celiac friendly?

No

They have a great GF menu and dessert options.

Celiacs beware. Kitchen is small and contamination is highly possible. An employee talked me out of eating there, "we had an incident" with someone requiring Gluten Free - became ill

REALLY upsetting (and sickening) experience. I called ahead and verified at the counter: the potato and sweet potato fries are not gluten free because of fried gluten foods. Okay, easy to avoid. Except the gluten free menu contains items that are fried in that same contaminated oil they said to avoid because of the potatoes, and it's not obvious they're fried. Corn chips (for the artichoke dip) and buffalo wings are fried. The tofu on my salad was fried. Unfortunately I didn't realize until after I'd samples the appetizers and my salad came out with fried tofu. I asked about it, found out the truth (and she should have offered raw/uncooked tofu as a sub to be gluten free), and the cashier says "well we say there's cross-contamination...."That's much different than saying you give everything a gluten bath. When they remade my salad, they tried to charge me for it. In hindsight, I should have just walked out, but I was with very hungry family who didn't deserve to have their meals ruined, too. Do not trust this place.

No
