Review of Hose 22 Firehouse Grill

The staff here is incredibly knowledgeable about respectfully caring for their gluten free customers! We were in Rochester to visit our son at college. In looking for a restaurant to accommodate our group of seven as well as my need for GF options, we discovered Hose 22 Firehouse Grill. We called first to ask about their kitchen practices. They gave very thorough answers about using separate surfaces and pans for food prep. Several items on the menu are marked as GF, and several more items beyond those can be modified and served gluten free. When I ordered my entree, the waitress tagged my order as “gluten allergy/celiac”. The gesture that made the most impact to me was that my entree was delivered first before everyone else’s and the waitress was wearing food service gloves to carry it to me. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was awesome!
