Sequoia Diner

Sequoia is a great option in the area. If you don’t want to read the whole thing, here’s a synopsis: the waitress knew what celiac was, and was diligent. The menu clearly marks Gfo. I was not glutened.

PARKING, SERVICE parking was easy on a sunday afternoon. Street parking is free on sunday. There was a lot of it.

We walked in ten minutes before closing so we thought they might turn us away, but they said it was no problem and invited us in. The waitress we had was very kind. She understood what celiac was and it was easy to order without anxiety because of that. She brought everything fast, refilled our water, and was very polite.

FOOD I got the beef hash with gluten free toast, and a coconut Thai iced tea. The beef hash was good-- they don't skimp on the beef. The meat is tender like brisket and flavorful. Needs no ketchup or tapatio. The egg on top was perfectly poached. The sauerkraut is not real sauerkraut, kind of just vinegared cabbage. It tasted good but it's not sauerkraut. The other side veggies were nice.

My gluten free toast did not come with butter. The toast was adequate.

The coconut Thai iced tea was not good. They should be making this drink with coconut milk-- it has a natural sweetness. Instead they are making it with coconut cream, which is naturally bitter. The tea itself was unsweetened, so the whole ensemble was very bitter and unpleasant, despite it smelling nice.

My mom got the split pea soup and a side biscuit with butter and jam. She said the soup was decent. It has pork sausage in it. The biscuit was reported to be delicious and fluffy.
