The waitstaff had no clue what gluten was, nor were they helpful in finding out anything. Wish I had read reviews here first. We were not told the cheese bread was gf or that the chicken was prepared with beer. For a vegetarian, the salad bar is extensive, but it's not an ideal restaurant for a gf vegetarian at all.

Celiac friendly?

No

95 percent of the menu is gluten free. What a great experience. We had so many choices and the cheese bread was amazing. Not pricey if you consider how much you can eat here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

EXCELLENT! GF cheddar rolls without asking ... so good. Starts with a trip to the most extensive salad bar, which is a red wine pairing dream (wonderful meats, cheeses, fruits and salads).. then, when you are ready, they proceed to offer 16, yes 16, different protein offerings to your tableside. Incredible food and a fun experience. Attentive staff, highly highly recommended.

Ate here last summer. Just getting to the review. The wait staff isn't knowledgeable, but the kitchen seems very professional. Celiac safe, just without the confidence a good waiter/waitress provides in this area. Food is good. Also expensive.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very nice place with good knowledge on GF topic by the boss. The Small cheese breads (pao de queijo) are very good and safe for me, had like 4 pcs. The meet is perfect, just avoid the chicken which is cooked in a beer sauce, so not GF. Wine list is extense. We had a very nice dinner here!

Contacted the HQ they assured they couod handle the gf request. It was a special occassion and I wanted to be sure. HQ told me to contact the manager, which I did before hand. Which he assured me they could handle. When I arrived and asked for the manager, he refused to see me. The waitress assured me they were able to handle a gluten free meal. I never saw her again and Half way in I was feeling ill asked for the check and they brought me a chocolate cake as a celebration for me. THEY BROUGHT CHOCOLATE CAKE TO A CELIAC THEY HAD ALREADY CONTAMINATED! Stay away is my advise.

No

Absolutely wonderful!!! So many options and the staff were very knowledgeable. I would give this place six stars if I had that option.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent! Waiters very aware of gluten and the cheese bread - freshly baked for the table - is gluten free! Fantastic salad bar with the best fresh mozzarella balls I've had in a long time along with a candied spicy bacon which was out of this world with the meats! As someone else mentioned, this really is a gluten free dream and the fact the staff know about the allergy is professional and well received. My husband does not have a gluten allergy but also loved it here; we are from RI on vacation and this so far has been the best restaurant in Miami.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The gluten free bread, the manager walking me through each item at the salad bar, and the fact the steak is not premarinated and is fresh and pure. This place is a gluten free dream. Did I mention the bread?

Grest food, lots of options including croutons for the salad! The manager came immediately to the table and helped me go through the options which are many, also told me they are becoming completely GF next month as they are going to take off the menu GF dishes. Good newss!

Best gluten free meal I've ever had. staff were wonderfully accommodating. cheese bread to die for. bravo.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wow, this place is great. I told my server about my allergy and a manager came to talk to me about what my options were and walked me around the salad bar to point out what to avoid there as well. The only meat you have to avoid is the chicken. Most of the salad bar is okay too except for the obvious stuff — croutons, pasta, etc. The entire experience was amazing. The staff is really attentive and nice. The food was delicious and so was the wine. Well worth the price.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Manager very friendly and showed my wife and I all the GF food. Kinda pricey but expected for vacation spot.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

On vacation in Miami and was super nervous about eating out (extremely gluten sensitive which makes traveling stressful) so I called ahead as I always do to double check & was informed that the manager would greet us when we arrived and explain all of my GF options. He did just that and to my delight on top of the impeccable service & wonderful atmosphere, I was able to eat almost everything on the menu with the exception of a few items. I was thrilled to have so many options and especially enjoyed the "cheese bread" made of all GF ingredients yet delicious as can be. You know, so good it feels scary to eat it!! The staff were all very knowledgable & even made some of the otherwise gluten containing meats gluten free just for me so I could try them :) I can honestly say that the only downside was feeling full WAY to soon!! The price is high but worth every penny for the food & the ability to truly relax and enjoy a nice meal out again!!!

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.

So many options! A huge buffet of salads and meats - all GF. Then all the meat you can eat, all GF. The yummy rolls brought to the table - yep GF! My celiac son was in heaven, no limits. No good dessert options since he also doesn’t eat dairy but dinner was so good and he was so full he didn’t mind.

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu

To start off - I have a gluten detection service dog, I read reviews on other chain locations in the GF app. We went for an event in our own room so I’m unsure if a normal experience would be the same.

I would NOT recommend this for celiacs. When I stated I had an allergy, the guy went to grab me a “menu” which was just a VERY intense list to cross reference. They continuously brought food and just dropped it off without any explanation of what the heck was being put in front of me. When I would ask what things were or if they were gluten free the waiter just told me “what does it say in the menu” which was incredibly dismissive but aside from that NOT HELPFUL. If I didn’t have my service dog I never would have felt comfortable eating anything here and tbh it’s a crap ton of money if you can’t eat anything.

The skewered they thought around consistently touched everyone’s plates - some of which / most of which were from the salad bar which had a ton of bread on the plates. It’s like 60 dollars per person, I’d never recommend this as a safe location. My service dog cleared most of the meats but he also alerted to several, without him I wouldn’t touch this

Fantastic! Ask for the allergen menu just to double check, but most things are gf, including the yummy pao de queijo (cheese bread) they bring to the table.
