Review of Bistro 17

I am delighted that Tuscaloosa finally has a restaurant for those with celiacs to enjoy. This bistro offers options that I can never get when eating out- chicken fingers and fries!The gluten free cookie and ice cream dessert was great. The only thing I did not care for was the tomato sauce on the risotto balls. As for my non-gluten free friends- One member of our party had the grilled cheese with tomato soup but the sauce was too spicy for her to enjoy. She liked the deviled eggs though. One in our party had the Philly cheesesteak and said it was okay. Finally, one person had the meatball sub but also felt it was just okay. Overall, those in my party would rate this restaurant as 3 stars. The prices are reasonable, for the 4 meals, two appetizers (albeit small), and two cocktails we spent around $120. I have not been back but I would consider visiting again. The atmosphere is very nice and our server was lovely.
