Ironwood Cafe

My experience as a celiac was good. The menu has gf items clearly marked. We have eaten there many times without a problem with gluten. Our recent experience was with really bad service and with not so good food. The restaurant overbooked that night. The weather was unseasonably warm and they opened many outdoor tables. There were several large parties of golfers. Our server had both indoor and outdoor parties. The restaurant put there servers well beyond their capacity to provide good service. I ordered pork osso buco. I received a generous amount, but the shank had been placed in a warmer and was tough and dried out. Not a great experience.

We had a great experience here! When we called to make a reservation, we mentioned my gluten allergy. When we arrived, the server and the kitchen had already been alerted to the allergy. The server said the kitchen had kept a space untouched and gluten free to prepare my food to prevent cross contamination. The menu had naturally gluten free items marked and the kitchen had provided our server with a list of everything else that could be modified to be gluten free. Most of the menu could be done gluten free. The staff were very understanding, well-informed, and friendly. The food and drinks were phenomenal.

Visiting from out of town with my Celiac (gluten and oats) wife. We had planned on trying a couple other places but they were closed for the 4th of July season. We found this place and called ahead and they responded very well with the initial inquiry about gluten free food so we made our reservation.

We had a wonderful meal. The wait staff already had the allergy information with them when they came to the table and were more than willing to go back to the kitchen to double check ingredients on anything we wanted to know.
