WARNING: This restaurant is NOT Celiac friendly.

If I could give it negative stars I would. I've been gluten free for six years, have traveled extensively and eaten at many restaurants. This was the worst experience I've ever had eating at a restaurant.

The reviews were so amazing, so we decided to try it out. Right off the bat, it was clear the waitress didn't know anything about gluten free. I told her I had to order gluten free and she pointed out the bagels and pancakes. I ordered an omlete and she asked if I wanted hash browns or potatoes. I said "oh are they gluten free?" She said, "no". Ok. She then asked if I wanted white, wheat or rye toast. Again, I asked "is that gluten free?". She said "No". Ok, fine, no big deal. I ordered a gf bagel and she went on her way. The food came out fast. My husband's order was wrong, but whatever, we let it go. She went to get the toast and fortunately I was facing the kitchen. I watched the waitress pull out a giant tub of county crock and butter my gluten free toast. She brought it over and I asked "Do you butter regular toast with the same butter?" She said "Yes". I sent it back and she made new toast and brought it with a dish of regular butter pats in a dish covered in unidentified crumbs. Ok, so dry toast, fine... After eating the toast dry (stupid me)... It dawned on me to ask her "Did you put this in the toaster with all the other bread?". She said yes........ At that point I was actually mad. We got the bill, it was wrong. We had the bill adjusted to reflect what we actually ordered. I left no tip for the first time in my life, wrote the chef a note about the problems since he was busy and left.

Please, despite those other reviews, do not eat here if you have Celiac Disease or a severe sensitivity. It isn't worth it.
