Review of Cafe Del Sol

There is absolutely no reason that this restaurant should be on this list. We went here and I mentioned that my 5-yo son has Celiac to the waitress. She told us very matter of fact that there is absolutely nothing they can do for us and that she didn't know what dishes contain gluten and what did not. (She seemed like an extremely seasoned waitress, too.) I asked about the salads, she shrugged and said that she didn't know and that we should assume that everything has gluten in it. I asked about an ingredients list as most restaurants have them, she said no. I asked about the ingredients in the dressings, she said she didn't know because they don't make their own. (Which would mean that there's a bottle with a list of ingredients... um, hello?!) I asked if she could glance at the ingredients list to which she refused. She said that they wouldn't (not couldn't, mind you) clean off a section of the grill or use a separate area of the grill for anything we ordered. She assured us that they would be right beside everything containing gluten.

This used to be my favorite restaurant and I'm still a little shocked that this happened. I've never gotten up and walked out of a restaurant but we walk out of this place for the last time. What a shame.

Celiac friendly?

No
