Bar Louie

Waitstaff understood the words 'gluren free' but I don't believe the reason for necessity and avoidance of cross contamination, or at the very least the communication between FoH to BoH.

To be honest, I should have listened to my gut that it probably wasn't sad eto eat there, but of course I didn't. Got a plain salmon, asparagus, and potatoes, was quite delicious, however within a short period of eating, my gut was literally telling me how wrong I was.

A great place for drinks, but I would highly suggest bypassing the thought of eating there.

I had the fish tacos and they were great. The server understood when I said I had celiac and made sure it was safe.

Definitely NOT gluten friendly. Even the salad came with a huge piece of bread on the plate (the bread wasn’t mentioned on the menu). So if you get a salad make sure to let them know!!! Although, I will say the drinks are good.

Celiac friendly?

No

Menu for gf very limited. I had salad with grilled chicken, no dressing. Informed waitress. Got very sick, likely cross contamination . I emailed bar manager and never got a response. Never again.

Celiac friendly?

No

Their menu is not gf; they say it's "gluten friendly" and do not claim to have any true gf options (other than salad!). It's misleading for them to even have a separate menu for people looking for gf options. Their food is delicious, but I will not go back again.

Celiac friendly?

No

Bar Louie does not have a gluten free menu. they are only willing to make accommodations like removing croutons or serving without a bun. Their menu is too limited for an attempt to modify. We decided to leave.

Celiac friendly?

No

Out date GF menu and some of the items on there they did not make anymore, I asked if there was anything else that was GF that was not on the menu and he said no. Later after I sent him back to talk to the chef a few times, which might I add he did not seem to thrilled about it even though I explained how important this was. He came back with another GF menu after my party ordered and informed me that the item I ordered was not GF, so long story short not very helpful for people with celiacs.

I wouldn't give them any stars but that is not an option! Careful they have no idea what gluten free is!

Had the shrimp skewers and the fish tacos with no reaction. The GM Melissa is knowledgeable about Celiac and spoke to the kitchen before preparing my meal.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

At first I had hope, there is a gluten sensitive menu. Great, fast seating…. However, we ordered the GF baked buffalo wings. They arrived quickly but were stone cold. The server was very pleasant and tried to correct the problem and ordered new ones that were marked GF. But, when the new GF wings came out it was obvious that they were not baked and were fried and thus contaminated. In addition, there were no main entree options because it was an event nigh; so the choices were either salad or a burger without fries or bun. Staff was very kind and apologetic. Too bad the kitchen does not look at notes made by servers.

They have a dedicated gluten-free menu. Just ask for it when you first arrive. The number of options is very impressive. The waitress was very helpful and willing to accommodate my needs. I ordered some wings, chips, and a cider.

Four stars for the food, and one star for the service. When I asked for a gluten free menu, it took the entire wait staff ten minutes to find the single gluten sensitive menu. I don’t know why they don’t have more than one. I had to flag our server multiple times to order food. She kept walking by and not acknowledging us. My friends said the service is always terrible, but the drinks are good. Fried items listed are fried in a shared fryer, so if cross contamination is a problem for you I would skip those items. I didn’t have high confidence in our server to ring up a salad or burger with the necessary changes. I ordered the citrus grilled salmon. It was delicious! It came with roasted fingerling potatoes and asparagus. It was the best salmon I have had in a long time. I have a gluten sensitivity and feel glutened within an hour of eating gluten. I felt fine afterwards and would return for the salmon.

Very few to no options. Went here was I was recently diagnosed and waitress straight up asked “why I was there” when I explained my allergy. Would not recommend to anyone, celiac or not.

Hostess couldn’t find the list of gluten free items. Consulted a server who rattled off general guidance that was questionable (stated French fries would need to be substituted for side salad or macaroni and cheese). Having no confidence in ability to obtain a safe meal, we elected to go elsewhere.
