i don’t eat a ton of meat AND have celiac so i had pretty low expectations going into it but it might be my new favorite restaurant !!! the servers were very knowledgeable about what meat they brought was and wasn’t gf, they brought me a full allergy menu on request, and the cheesy buns at the table were not only gluten free but so good i had about 11 of them <3 would absolutely recommend i’ll be there again for sure

Be sure to ask for their allergen list print out. Very easy to read and includes everything available from the meats to the market bar. Don't be worried about the table bread, cheese bread is made with tapioca starch. The meats are brought out seperately so cross contamination (from chicken dishes) was not a worry. Even GF dessert available!

The service and food were excellent. I told them I was gluten free and pork free and my husband wanted his meat well done. The printed list showing all of the food with the allergens was an extra special touch. They accommodated all of our requests easily and one manager came to the table to make sure we were happy and another manager helped me with the Market table which has a huge array of different cold foods. The drinks all the way to the dessert, they made us feel special with their attention to detail. It's expensive, but worth it to splurge every once in a while so I would definitely go back.

My daughter and I are celiac. We had a great experience. The food was delicious and the staff was super knowledgeable. They printed a list of gluten free items which was most of the menu. I highly recommend it.

This place is delicious and super friendly. They brought me an entire stapled packet to show all of the allergens and the waitress went over it with me in detail which was great. Super pumped I can still go here šŸ˜

There’s such a large variety of items here, there’s plenty that’s gluten free, though you have to ask about specific things but the servers will go and double check with the kitchen. The dinner rolls they serve are gluten free, as the Brazilians use tapioca flour and cheese to make puffy little popover type breads. All and all delicious and safe if you are vigilant

Almost everything is gluten free! The manager came to our table to go over what was gluten free. We also had two lactose intolerant family members so they made the polenta without cheese. So many options including several desserts. The meats are just to die for! It is ridiculously expensive but incredible dining experience.

Waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful. All meats except chicken are gf although I would be wary of the sausage. They bring it around with the chicken (so they touch) but they were able to bring it to me separately when I asked. All side dishes are gf and are so so so delicious. Salad bar always has the risk of cross contamination due to clumsy people but I found it fairly clean. Besides, who can pass up a whole plate of prosciutto and cheeses?

Almost everything (other than a handful of obvious items) is gluten free. Rolls at the table are tapioca (like Brazi bites) and gluten free. Love the fact that you can basically eat everything at the all you can eat buffet and it is gluten free. You can pick and choose and eat as much as you like and eat all the different meats they bring to your table (chicken, steak, pork, sausage, etc.) and they are all gluten free.

The manager talked with my table about the non GF foods to avoid. Just make sure you ask bc they do change some items for the time of day or seasonally

Almost all of the salad bar is gluten free and all meats except one or two were gluten free! Our waitress was very knowledgeable and explained what dishes were not gluten free. It is my fiancee’s favorite restaurant (celiac, highly sensitive to cross contamination). We have gone so many times and never had a reaction.
