Review of Peppercorns Grille & Tavern

I was so excited to see that Peppercorn's had a new GF menu featuring zucchini noodles - so we had to go. We made a reservation online - and even though we arrived just on time for the reservation - we still stood around for about 15/20 minutes. After this time we still were not seated & we ended up sitting at a high top table in the bar area.

Our server was actually great - very personable & professional. I advised her that I had a GF allergy & she seemed to take it very serious.

I ordered the grilled chicken parmesan on zucchini noodles. When my dinner was served - I as well as the waitress noticed that the chicken was breaded & before I took a bite she ran off to the kitchen to ask them. She came back a short while later & advised that the kitchen said they were GF bread crumbs. They weren't on the menu - but I figured if she did the due diligence of checking with the kitchen then they were in fact GF bread crumbs.

This is where I was wrong. I should have trusted my gut & asked for the chicken to be done the way I had asked - grilled. Because I spent the rest of my night in horrible pain. After 5 hours of pain, I decided that if my charcoal pills did not lessen the pain in an hour I was going to go to the ER and have my stomach pumped. Thankfully the pills combined with a heating pad worked and I did not have to go to the ER.

Based on this experience - I will be keeping as far away from Peppercorns as I possibly can. I was excited that I could add another list of places to go out to eat - but my experience on 2/25/17 will not be one that I could ever look past. I caution anyone that is GF to be extremely cautious.
