Review of The Great Lost Bear

The menu has Gf designations for nachos, French fries, salads, and chicken. In reality, if you are celiac, the only option that won't be cross-contaminated is a spinach salad with zero meat. They refuse to cook anything special - like a piece of chicken in a saute pan or under a broiler in a pan. The waitress was very abrupt and declined even to ask the kitchen. She didn't care if our party of 6 would even stay- everyone wanted to leave, but we were short on time. In the end, the salad was better than I expected, but it consisted of spinach, tomato, carrots, cheese, and almonds. Portland has a lot of great restaurants, and this is not one of them. Gf or not, mediocre food and bad service won't win you loyalty.
