Asked for a gluten free menu and options from two different servers. One didn't even bother to answer, the other gave a snarky response: "This isn't a gluten free restaurant, what do you expect, it's the Black Rose, we don't cater to that." Couldn't give me ANY suggestions, then acted surprised when I didn't know what to order. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

After coming here for a work dinner, I was actually really surprised to see that their menu marked which items were gluten free. (The online menu does not indicate GF choices, but the paper menu does.) There are only 4-5 choices - off the top of my head, they had a beet salad, a salmon dish, a pork dish, and another seafood dish. It's definitely not a lot of variety - I mean, come on, only one out of four salads is GF?? - but it was actually more than I expected from a tavern like this, where all of the food is usually fried or comes on a bun. I got the salmon (comes with veggies and colcannon potatoes), and while it was a little pricy ($22), it was actually quite good.
