I can't believe I waited so long to go here! I've been walking past this place for years but the gluten-filled nature of French food and the lack of GF markings on the menu made me hesitant to try it. I was amazed by the confidence and care with which they handle celiac guests. The manager was great on the phone when I made my reservation, answering all my questions, and when I walked in the door the host and server already knew about my gluten free needs. Plenty of options on the menu, including several desserts, and the server was well acquainted with the multi-layered allergen procedure to prevent cross-contamination. I went with the classic steak frites and shared 2 desserts - the creme brûlée and chocolate pot de creme. If you don't mind still being full the next day from the decadent food, this place is a must visit!
