We ate here October 2015 first visit. We had reservations and I asked when making the reservation about Gluten-Free availability. I was told they don't have a Gluten-Free menu but they can adjust almost any dish.

Were were seated outside in a nice area but the table was seriously wobbly. No help from the waiter, "It's brick on the ground, it happens" so we adjusted it ourselves, a little better but still wiggly.

When I asked about G-F items, I was told (seriously, I could not make this up!) "I you had bothered to make a reservation you would have been told that you could bring your own pasta and enjoy most dishes". Of course I told him I did make a res and what was told to me. He looked surprised and said he would check with the kitchen. (There is a grocery store across the street where I have purchased Gluten-Free beer)

He returned to say I could have salad with cold shrimp or chicken with vinegar and oil. They had no G-F dressings.

So the salad with shrimp was good, my husband's Lasagna was wonderful.

In reading the other review, it seems the G-F food issue has been nicely corrected. I still won't go back to expose myself to under trained reservation takers and snarky waiters. My ignorance of your policies is no reason to be condescending. It put a damper on an otherwise wonderful evening.

Celiac friendly?
