VERY DISAPPOINTED! (And ill after eating here).

I was in town for a conference, and I planned on eating here for dinner because of their "Gluten free menu." So when I sat down, I proceeded to tell the waiter that I had Celiac disease and that I needed a gluten free meal and he said "no problem." So I ordered an appetizer and the GF pasta dish for my main entree. The waiter came back with an appetizer that I wasn't sure looked like what I ordered. He said that it was on the GF menu and I said "But it has bread crumbs on it, are you sure it is GF?" He took it back to the kitchen and came back and apologized and said it in fact was not GF and said he was very sorry. I again repeated that I had Celiac and that the main entree had to be GF. He assured me that it was and delivered my pasta dish I again asked him to verify that it was GF. 1/2 of the way through my meal, the chef actually came out of the kitchen looking very worried and came to my table with the waiter and said "Are you the customer with the gluten mix-up?" I said I was and he said, I am very sorry, but they gave you the wrong pasta dish by mistake." Needless to say, I got up and screamed "You have to be kidding me!" I had a few words with the manager and left. A few hours later I was violently ill. I had the worse stomach cramps, headache, and dizziness in years. I am a doctor and I waited months to go the conference to learn new procedures and I could not complete the second day because of my condition. I cannot be sick in surgery. I will NEVER eat there again.
