Review of Blu Star Grill

After seeing all the amazing “celiac-friendly” reviews, I was very excited to try Blu Star Grill. Unfortunately, I was unimpressed with the service and I seem to be having a severe reaction :(

I explained to our server that I have a gluten allergy, and she nonchalantly said she’d let the kitchen know that they’d “change their gloves.” Not reassuring enough for me usually, but with 100% of 20 reviews saying it’s “celiac-friendly,” I trusted they knew what they were doing in the kitchen even if the server wasn’t prepared to explain it all to me.

Even with the allergy heads-up, they brought the “gluten-free” muffin out on the same plate as and touching my mom’s glutenous muffin. I wasn’t going to eat it anyway (and I didn’t touch it) since I don’t trust baked goods prepared in a gluten flour-containing facility, and I didn’t ask how & where they were prepared. But maybe that should have been all the information I needed to be more cautious not eat my salad. But I was hungry, and I trusted the reviews and the server and the kitchen’s protocols, and now I’m paying the price :(
