I've eaten here many times and have never gotten sick. I always get the warm potato and salmon (listed under Signature Dishes) and it's really tasty. Yum!

I did not feel like the menu had a lot to offer, that did not involve a high risk of cross contamination. I had the salmon cooked on a plank in the pizza oven. It was very good. I did not have any ill effects.

Based on rave reviews elsewhere I tried Destihl about 2 months ago with a colleague at lunch. My waiter was not celiac friendly, nor very knowledgeable. The GF menu was disappointing. The food was mediocre and way overpriced. There was hardly anyone there at the time, yet we still had very slow service.

They used to have an extensive and nice gluten-free menu, but last time I went it was very limited. They didn't even have the dedicated GF menu anymore.

To be honest, this place used to be my go-to for GF options, but it appears they cut their GF menu in half. Go here if you like only two options for food. Completely sucks and ruined my birthday.

This restaurant was a great experience. The food was great and they have a completely sepetate GF menu that spells out what is safe and what to request to make it more GF. They also had a cherry GF beer on tap that was yummy.

The waitress was knowledgable about what was and wasn't safe. They even had GF friendly deserts!

We visited this restaurant because of its reviews. We visited for a weekday lunch. They were helpful and answered every question. My wife ordered the Spicy Thai Shrimp (GF/DF) and I ordered the Jambalaya. Both dishes arrived to the table at the right temperature. Both were excellent and had outstanding flavor. This may sound trite but both dishes employed spices to their advantage to enhance flavor. This restaurant was an unexpected bright spot in our trip through Illinois.

Excellent gluten free menu. Chef even came to our table to explain how 3-4 plates of pasta pre-boiled first of the day with clean pots to avoid cross contamination and other methods during the day to avoid cross contamination of other meals. My celiac son had the 12 oz almost foot long graucho skirt steak with rice beans and corn-loved it. Wife and I shared the thai steak salad and thai curry-spicey hot-pasta(both also gluten free). We loved our meals too. Update- NO gluten free beer as of 08/04/2014. The only negative while we were there.

I thoroughly enjoyed Destihl. Extensive menu and the wait staff was very knowledgable. I had the Potatoes & Salmon and it was amazing! Even had gluten-free beer, though I didn't try it. We live just over an hour away, but would gladly travel here for a special occasion dinner. My daughter (8 years old and not gluten-free) said hers was the best cheeseburger she's ever had - and the kids' meals come with a free root beer float!

Large gf menu selection and very tasty food- way better than biaggis! Prices are very reasonable too. I'm not sure why it is listed as $$$. There is a great atmosphere too- perfect to take family, friends, or dates.

They had Chicken Masal as a feature and I asked the bartender if it had dairy. She got mixed responses from other staff so she went out of her way to read the recipe card in the kitchen and confirmed it did have dairy. I was so impressed with her thoroughness. So I got the hummus w the GF bread option. REALLY good!

Ordered the four cheese bacon Mac and it was okay. It wasn't anything special and I wouldn't order it again. I wish I would've got something else but they seemed to understand the precautions pretty well. And I didn't get sick at all so that's good.

Delicious food and felt safe eating here. I had the Mahi Mahi tacos and they were sooo good. The rice that comes with the meal was amazing. I also had the bacon wrapped dates. Highly reccomend this place!
