Review of Sal's By Victor

I have two family members that are celiac, so my review may be different from those that are gluten-sensitive or those that are able to chose a gluten-free lifestyle. Just for some background, my husband was diagnosed 10 years a go, and my daughter was diagnosed at 18 months of age. She is now 3. Her case was and is a severe allergy to gluten. We are residents of Williamsburg and I was so happy to find a place that had so many gluten free options on their menu. I will skip through the details of the conversation I had with the waiter, assuring that the allergy was acknowledged and written, and go straight to the outgoing conversation with an employee, Jennifer, as we paid our bill. She told me that all pasta, regular or gluten free, is cooked in the same water, unless you specifically request it from a manager. Please don’t make the same mistake I made. I thought that telling our waiter that our daughter had a “severe allergy” to gluten was enough. I did call Sal’s to tell them about our night (our 3 year old has been vomiting for over an hour.) I am sorry to say that we give Sal’s a thumbs down for gluten awareness.

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— No gluten-free information on the menu
