Mela Kitchen @Jack’s Cider House

NOT CELIAC SAFE! I gave this 3 stars because the menu has a decent number of GF selections on the menu, so for anyone just choosing to eat gluten free, you are probably good to go. I ordered the mushroom risotto (came with GF flatbread) and the roasted vegetable side, and a flight of four ciders. I’m not sure what specifically got me, but I started with symptoms before I even finished eating.

Ordered pick up while visiting the area for the weekend. I had the polenta cake with shrimp as an appetizer and the risotto as an entree. All was delicious and I did not get sick!
