Review of J T Basque Bar & Dining Room

4/20/19 update: they now have gluten free soup every day! 8/27/17 update: Since we've been coming here for about 7 years GF/DF (and about 13 years before that without allergies), we've gotten to know the owner well. So, last night we talked more about the kitchen. No gluten or dairy goes on the grill so we no longer need to ask them to pan fry items. Also, we can have the beef stew, beans, seasoning on our fries, and the salad. They don't use any flour, just corn starch. The only items we cannot have are the soup (due to the consomme containing gluten in all soups and some soups also have regular pasta) and the bread (and the ice cream due to DF). Marie, the owner, did say if we call one day in advance that they will also make the soup GF for us. Last night we had the lamb chops cooked on the grill, salad, fries with seasoning, beef stew and beans. Everything was delicious and we did not get sick and we're super sensitive to cross-contamination. Also, I don't get sick from the red table wine. We dine here at least once a month and it's always an excellent experience.



MY REVIEW FROM 2015: Although J.T.'s does not have a gluten free menu and is family-style for dinner, the owner of the restaurant (Marie) and her staff (especially Ryan) are well-versed with gluten and dairy and will make your lunch/dinner to order and give the chef clear directions. They do an excellent job accommodating my son and I and we eat here about once a month. They modify the menu for us and cook us a main entrée (in a separate clean pan, not on the grill) and then we got bottomless fries made in their dedicated GF fryer. I believe if you call ahead they will actually make some of their other items (salad, soup, stew, beans etc.) gluten free for you but we have not done this yet as we are filled with our lamb chops/chicken and fries and are super sensitive to cross-contamination so we don't want to risk it. Highly recommend this place for the food and atmosphere and neat bar. We have never gotten sick here and have been eating here GF/DF for 4+ years.
