Review of Commander's Palace

Disappointing experience! When I made the reservation online, there was a place to indicate that we had a GF diner in our party, but it doesn’t seem that anyone was aware. Upon being seated, my daughter informed the waiter that she was GF, and her told her that all of the entrees without substitution were GF (his exact words). He pointed out that the gumbo was not but the soup of the day was. When he came back to take our order, she asked if the cannelloni entree was GF since it’s pasta, and he told her it was not. One of the other entrees also mentioned farro, which is not GF, so be sure to ask a lot of questions before you order! She wound up ordering a salad, asked if it was GF, was told it was, but then had to remind them that the pecan tuille it came with would not be. They just didn’t seem as knowledgeable about GF as they claimed when we were seated. Someone else brought a loaf of bread and set it down directly in front of my daughter, which I consider rude after she’s clearly pointed out she can’t eat it. If you want dessert, be sure to ask for the a la carte dessert menu because it’s got things on it that I saw people getting but weren’t on our menu (bananas foster, which should have been GF and we would have ordered it but we were never offered a dessert menu). My and my daughter’s food was very good but my husband’s was not. So just a very disappointing experience all around.
