Scarlet Oak Tavern

They have a dedicated GF menu and GF buns that don’t fall apart when you pick up a sandwich. Lots of cross contamination and the waitress didn’t seem as knowledgeable as some of the other staff. Probably not as safe for celiac.

Great Gluten free menu- waitress very helpful. However, cross contamination must have occurred in the kitchen. Within hours my son with celiac disease was extremely ill. I don’t think the kitchen staff is aware of the impact of cross contamination. Love the restaurant, but might think twice about eating there again.

They have great food but seem a little nonchalant when I tell them I have food allergy so I try to order things that have low risk of cross contamination. They do have a large GFree menu and the Crispy Potato Crusted Haddock has always been a delicious choice. The lobster and scallop risotto is fabulous but so filling. Beet salad is a favorite lunch item. Filet is good choice as well.

Be careful of the waitstaff. Was great for years until last year they gave me home fries that had been in contaminated frylator. After I had eaten them and discovered contamination, the waitress told me I'd be fine because they were fried at a high temperature! If that were true, I'd be eating at McDonald's. I waited 8 months before going back reluctantly and I find out that I almost got served contaminated steak! Manager realized the mistake right before dishes were served and re-fired dish, but frightening. Need better policies in place such as square plates or a manager bringing out the food. Fine with caution and skepticism here.

Great gluten free menu with many selections. We had the roasted chicken, roasted pear salad, beet salad, and broccoli rabe. Everything was excellent.
