Review of State Fare

I stated this restaurant is “not gluten free” because the only mention they make about GF is it states on the menu, “ask how we can make your food GF”. When I ordered, I picked something I figured would be pretty easy to serve GF...not so much. I made it clear to the waitress that I needed it GF (I’m celiac) and she acted very sincere in her desire to accommodate me. The blackened chicken breast came with lump crab meat on top mixed with Alfredo and a side of Brussel sprouts. I asked her if she could ask if the Alfredo, crab meat (usual suspects!) and/or the Brussel sprouts had any gluten. She said she’d ask. She came back and said the Alfredo had gluten but she’d see if they could just put plain lump crab meat on top (great!). It took a while but she came out and said they could do it. When the meals came out for our large party, everyone’s was served except mine. I sat there for at least 10 minutes while everyone ate but I didn’t say anything because it was a celebration and I didn’t want to cause a fuss. Then the waitress came out and told me the Brussel sprouts were not gluten free either (ugh. I asked that from the get go) but ordered a side of spinach instead. When my plate finally arrived it looked and tasted fabulous! I did Not get sick at all so that’s why I ranked this 4 stars because they really tried, and really wanted to serve me something good that would not make me sick, but they obviously they are not well prepared for GF. I recommend the place, but just be vigilant about asking questions and verifying and re-verifyingand I think you’ll really enjoy the food and service. It’s a nice place
