Cassis American Brasserie

I have celiac disease and Went for Easter dinner. Things were marked gluten free on the menu but the server came back and said they had cross contamination with gluten, so it isn’t truly gluten free.

I’ve eaten here many times for lunch and I’ve always had a good experience. I have never gotten sick from any of the salads and proteins that I’ve tried. I also liked the veggies and dips appetizer, but skipped the potato chips out of caution.

The staff is very knowledgeable about celiac and will preemptively warn me that they do not have a dedicated gluten free fryer. I opt to skip most of the GF-marked items as a result — many of those items are described as fried and/or include potato chips. While this is slightly frustrating, the staff has always discussed that risk and highlighted the better options for celiacs (as opposed to those with less stringent cross contamination restrictions).

To start I had the Gf Calamari. It was really good at the start - like, the best I’ve ever had and I’ve had A LOT of calamari. But….the grease at the bottom of the bowl made the bottom 13 inedible. Disappointing. There is one choice for an entree and that the Delmonico steak. Again disappointing. We didn’t stay for dessert so I dont know about that. We won’t return only because I’ve already had the one entree I can have. 🤷🏼‍♀

Things that are fried and marked GF are not gluten free because of cross contamination in the fryer, which the manager could not do anything to change. I followed the suggestions of the manager and still got sick. I’m in so much pain!

Staff and food was great. Unfortunately there bakery isn’t gluten safe. All the spoons for the sorbet are used for everything in the same bucket.

Celiac friendly?

No

The menu is clearly marked with helpful little GF icons to make ordering a cinch. I had the Andouille Sausage & Shrimp Ragout from the brunch menu. It was delicious. The only downside was the basket of rolls that comes out. Everyone in my group was raving about them. I was happy for them but just a little sad for me. They really looked amazing. Sigh.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots on the menu and caring staff. Highly recommend.

Wonderfully helpful staff! Very knowledgeable.
