My husband and I ate here and loved it. Everything we ordered was gluten free just to keep it all safe. We got the 4 course meal starting with the cheese appetizer of spinach articoke dip, which came with some veggies and gluten free bread. Then we had salads, and then the Big Night Out proteins substituting the terriaki and ravioli out for extra filet. For dessert we got the flaming turtle which was served with amazing gf brownies and snickerdoodle cookies. Our server was very knowledgeable about gf items and even mentioned that the gf items were kept in a separate area. We would definitely go back!

Update- had dinner on 8/26/19. They were awesome. My husband and I had a great time. He’s not GF but everything we ordered was. The dippers were great from the cheese coarse to the chocolate. They explained everything and made sure we knew what was and wasn’t GF.

Update- Had dinner there 1/3/19. They were fantastic. They have gf down and are extremely knowledgeable. I had a great meal.

I had dinner there two days ago 6/19/18. It was amazing. I dined with non-celiac friends so needless to say I was concerned about cross contamination. It was great! We had cheese and chocolate, which were both gluten free. Instead of having the whole table deal with the gluten free dippers ( bread), I opted to get separate bowls to put my cheese and chocolate selections in although there was no way to keep it hot. I took my portion first. They brought out separate dippers for me on a glass tray, not the wooden one. The waiter told me about each ingredient as he put everything together. They used Udis multigrain rolls which worked well with the cheese along with apples and veggies. I also got GF brownies, snickerdoodles, and marshmallows to go with my fruit for the chocolate. Definitely would recommend. They are also approved by the GIG. https://www.gluten.org/branchnews/gluten-intolerance-group-awards-melting-pot-restaurants-inc-gffs-certification/

We had such a wonderful experience! I’m not only gluten free but also have an egg allergy. We made a reservation online and they had not only allergy friendly bread for me, but brownies AND cookies! It’s hard enough for me to find anything to eat, let alone every course! We always come here for special occasions, and highly recommend it!

if you’re reactive/celiac then READ THIS!!! called ahead and thought that it would be safe because when I asked what they did to eliminate cross contamination but when I was there is was clear they didn’t do those things. they still gave me all the sauces including the gluten sauces on the same platter as my food. I think my plate had bread crumbs so I switched with my husband. it did not follow through as hoped so proceed with caution

I had an amazing experience here with lots of gluten free options and substitutions. Just let the waiter know you're gluten free and they will go out of their way to accommodate. The substitutions were tasty and there was no upcharge.

Be aware: They were able to accommodate my need to be Gluten free, however, this means that my wife also had to eat gluten free. I don’t like to force GF on her, especially when it’s date night and eating out.
