Joe Fortes Seafood & Chop House

I am newly gluten intolerant and/or wheat allergy. I told waitstaff and they assured me my dishes were GF. No issues and the salmon was to die for.

Server said she could make my main GF after I told her I was Celiac. I got sick pretty immediately. Certain menu items seem pretty safe. Ie. the oysters. Would stick to these if you feel like risking it here.

Went for happy hour and enjoyed the Seafood Tower and some extra oysters. Server was knowledgeable and assured me that everything I ordered was GF. She said the kitchen was aware and my order had a big bold “Celiac - Gluten Allergy” tag. I felt very safe. Photo show the tower missing a few things as I dug in before taking it 🙄

I contacted the restaurant ahead of time to let them know I have a severe life-threatening wheat allergy that results in my breathing stopping, going into cardiovascular collapse, and seizures. But the server made several jokes about my allergy and asked how I feel not being able to walk into a bakery or eat a croissant. When he brought bread to the table, he placed it in front of me and asked if I wanted any. When I was ordering and asking if they have a separate fryer, he replied, “oh you care about that?” It was really awkward and no one was laughing at his jokes. I didn’t feel safe eating here.
