Blue Heron Restaurant

We’re definitely a sucker for a gf fryer, which they have and take seriously! Such a fun (but expensive) special-occasion place, with lots of options, good food and drinks, and careful preparation. Annoyingly, they’ve been out of gf bread the past couple times we’ve been there, even though it’s promised on the menu.

Not a fan. If you’ve eaten around the world and lived in nyc for 20 years, then you also would be unimpressed. I can make a better meal myself at home. Not to mention I took my mother there who loves the burgers and mentioned that to the waitress, saying she didn’t see the burger on the menu. After we ordered from her, we were chatting with another server who told us they do a burger night and that it was in fact burger night that night. I’ll never go back. Our server was rude and the food wasn’t good.

Excellent if pricey sit-down restaurant in the old Sunderland town hall. Most entrees are or can be made gluten-free. Emphasis on local ingredients and in-season produce.

Enjoyed a wonderful and completely safe experience last night. Staff were very knowledgeable about celiac and safe preparation, answering every question I had to my full satisfaction. The food was incredibly delicious and beautiful with exceptional service! I had the seared scallops for my main and the chocolate truffle torte for dessert. The only issue I had was that I had such a great time and was so full! This anxious celiac will definitely be back! I felt totally safe.

Great experience! So many GF options already on the menu and no gluten in the fryer. They also understand cross contamination. Highly recommend as safe and delicious.

Lovely upscale dining with well-marked GF menu— plus waiter explained that nearly anything on the menu could be modified to be GF. Staff very careful about cross-contamination. Plus food is delicious! Highly recommend the fried calamari made with chickpea and rice flour. Restaurant says no gluten ever goes in the fryer.
