el ALTO

I really wanted to like this place. I had been to other restaurants affiliated with Traci des Jardins and had high expectations. I called ahead to make sure that there were gluten free items on the menu. The waitress didn’t know what items were gluten-free but had a cheat sheet. Vegan and vegetarian items were marked on the menu, but not gluten-free. The items available were more limited than I expected. The menu is limited anyway. I was able to find items but honestly I was a little nervous because the waitress seems pretty clueless. Also, I was with a a group of four and have to say the service was pretty bad. Meals were brought out as they were ready. One of us never got his meal. After the rest of us had eaten all of our meals, he asked to have his meal cancelled and we went home and he had a sandwich. We were offered free dessert but we didn’t want dessert. Very disappointing.
