Tinos Kitchen + Bar

I was nervous to try this place because of the few terrible reviews, but very glad I did! Some people’s experiences will not match your own.

Very good cocktails. Multiple menu items offered GF and were labeled on the menu. They offered bread and oil to start and while I didn’t ask if they had a GF option, I know they have a lot of veggies they serve with a tzatziki dip so could probably sub that.

Our waiter seemed to take my allergy seriously and while he didn’t write anything down, he was awesome! And I know the message got across because another person delivered my meal and announced it was GF.

Would go back!

Every single thing we ordered that was labeled GF, even after telling them we had celiac disease, tested positive for gluten on a Nima sensor. The lamb shank was such a strong positive on the capsule test strip I’m betting they use soy sauce in their marinade…

On first arriving I asked if they had a gf menu and our server said "no" and did not elaborate. Looking at their menu though there were dishes labeled as gf. She apologized but it didnt inspire confidence that we were in a safe dining environment as celiacs. She was polite and attentive. Being both celiac and dairy allergic the options were extremely limited for me and I had a garden salad that was only lettuce with just two pieces of some pickled vegetable on top. It was extremely disappointing. I asked if there was anything they could sub for the cheese that is normally on this salad and they said no. They had pine nuts or even more variety of veg available but instead I paid over $10 for a handful of lettuce leaves. The gf bread brought to the table was still partially frozen. My daughter's cauliflower curry was unpalatable with rubbery freezer burned textured vegetables and she is not picky at all. My son had the pork chop and he raved about it though. It was not worth going and being treated like an after thought for over priced bad quality dishes. I had heard good things but unfortunately that was not our experience and I would not recommend this place.

I went to a 10-course dinner there in September and let them know I was celiac. They were serving 10 courses to a full restaurant and kept my food safe, substitutes were excellent, and the food was top notch.
