Pinched on the River

I had a wonderful experience eating here! It’s in such a great location and we sat outside next to the river. Usually I have to sit and watch everyone else eat their bread but here they offered gluten free pita so I was in absolute heaven! My waitress was very knowledgeable on the gluten free options on the menu. Most of the items on the menu can be modified to be gf.

I’ve never had such an awful experience at a restaurant relating to my celiac before. I ordered a gluten free pita roll and when it came out, I took a bite and it tasted suspiciously good. I waited for the waitress to come back and asked her if my pita was gluten free and she said no. I kindly asked that my plate be remade because I had ordered a GF pita roll due to my celiac. She immediately responded, “You NEVER ordered a gluten free pita.” First of all… what the f??? Even if this was true, you don’t respond to anyone this way. But of course, it was NOT true because I literally cannot eat a regular pita and would never order a regular pita. When my friend confirmed to the waitress that she had also heard me order GF, the waitress said, “If you had ordered a GF pita, I would have known because we have GF pitas so it would have been easy to write down.” ….She’s telling on herself because, yeah, I KNOW you have GF pitas which is why I ordered one - and it SHOULD be easy to write down, she just wasn’t paying attention. I asked her why she was arguing with me about what I ordered instead of finding a resolution. She acted surprised I called her out and then angrily took my plate and walked off - without saying if she would be replacing it. Eventually, she did come back out with the GF pita roll and apologized and was suddenly very nice - likely to save her tip. Entirely unimpressed and pretty appalled to be honest.

TLDR: Rude waitress arguing about what I ordered; if you do decide to go, make sure to clarify that you have celiac and that they heard you say gluten free.

We were told everything on the menu was GF except the couscous, falafel, and tabouli. There was lots to choose from, and the GF pita was the best I’ve ever had!

They have gf pita and have several options for good gf bowls and salads! Staff is very knowledgeable about gluten and dairy free options. Sadly the falafel is not gluten free but most of the meats and topping options are gf.
