Review of Martingale Wharf

Before placing my order, I informed the server that I had celiac disease and made sure that the crabcakes I was ordering were gluten-free. I was a bit nervous when a different server brought them out from the kitchen and did not announce anything about them being prepared gluten-free, but decided I was being too anxious and ate them. They were very good. However, when we ordered the pot de creme for dessert it again was delivered by a different server and had a cookie stuck in it. As she was turning to leave I asked her if the cookie was gluten-free, and she replied that if I had stated I had celiac disease, it probably was, but she would go ask the kitchen. This server never came back, and we sat staring at the dessert for almost 10 minutes, before spotting our original server and asking her to check. She said that even if the cookie wasn't gluten-free, it had not been swirled around in the pot de creme (not comforting). She also went to go check with the kitchen, came back out shortly afterwards, whisked the dessert away with many apologies, and brought us a new one. Considering that the owner's wife has celiac disease and the menu claims to be almost entirely gluten-free, I was very uncomfortable with my experience and the training of the servers. The incident with the dessert made me worry that my entrée was also contaminated. I did not get sick, but I also did not enjoy myself.

Celiac friendly?

No
