Review


Was there last weekend and I had a horrible experience with the server. When I had mentioned that I was sensitive to gluten he had a very negative attitude towards me. As a person with celiac you know that when you go out to eat you are taking a risk. However when I explained my situation and asked for extra care (wash hands/clean surfaces) instead of saying he would let the kitchen know he told me it's not a separate kitchen and my food will be the same. I had been there before and had no problems so I figured he was just having a bad day and let the attitude go. We finished our meals with no problems and my friends and I got up to use the restroom and leave. I was waiting behind a post and the server did not see me standing there and he thought I had left. He began to talk about me to another tAble. He said many negative things about people who order gf, and how "real" celiac's don't eat out at restaurants. He talked about how he could not believe I had the nerve to ask them to wash their hands/ take extra precautions and how I was ridiculous. I stood there humiliated and when he finally looked up and realized I was standing there he walked over and attempted to apologize. My only response was shock and I told him that was rude. As a person with cealic disease in know how hard it can be to find restaurants you feel comfortable eating at, and I would hate for someone else to be humiliated for something that is not a choice.
