Cafe Landwer

I went to the Cleveland cirlcle location and got the salmon salad which was marked gluten free on the menu. I also specified to the server that I have a gluten allergy and she confirmed the kitchen would make sure it was taken care of. When the food came out there was no indication it was gluten free. I asked the server to confirm that there was no gluten in the dish and he went back to the kitchen to confirm that there was nothing. I did get a reaction the following day from what I suspect was cross contact. I looked at another version of the menu the following day and saw that the artichokes in the salad were fried. I called the restaurant and they told me that the artichokes were not deep fried (in a shared fryer) but pan fried. I’m not quite sure what the cause could have been maybe they were put in the fryer this time or maybe it was something else. I would just excercise a bit more caution and ask some more questions if I go here again. I tend to get a bit complacent when menu items are marked gf.

We went there on a busy weekend, my kids received gluten pasta after the server forgot to tell the kitchen that it should be gf. Luckily, my partner noticed it and it was replaced. The food is good and my kids didn't have any reaction. If you are going, make sure that you received the right items.

Not a great experience - they had told me there were a number of GF options and told me I could have a dish which I then ordered. After 15 minutes they came back and said they actually couldn’t make it and asked me multiple times how bad my reaction really would be. They ended up saying I could only have a salad, so all I got was a plain salad. I wouldn’t recommend if you want options! It was embarrassing for me with the person I was there with.

My meal was brought out separately and the server repeated my order when food was brought to the table.

I had never eaten here before, so to be on the safe side I ordered a grilled chicken breast with a side salad. When my meal came out there was a small salad with a vinaigrette dressing. Grilled chicken was on a separate plate, and on a third plate was the best looking sandwich bun! The server said here's your gluten free bun! WHAT?! The menu didn't even mention that they had gluten free bread (they really should). It was SO good!

Outdoor seating was very comfortable.
