Waitress looked at me like I had 4 heads when I told her I had celiac, no knowledge about what is GF at the market bar but assured me the meat selections were all GF. The food and service were excellent, so the low rating is strictly for safety. Eat at your own risk.

A meat lover Celiac's dream. The traveling meat is all gf and most of the salad bar is as well. The table bread is Pao which is naturally gf, as are the croutons at the salad bar.

The service is still getting their feet under them so patience may be required.

Great food, great experience, gluten free and safe. Customer service by Rodrigo (server) and Thiago (customer service) was amazing! Only 3 things were marked as having gluten in them, everything else was safe. They brought the full allergen list when I asked about celiac safe food. Gluten free Brazilian cheese bread (no gluten free Italian bread)

TERRIBLE experience. Explained my food allergies (dairy, wheat, eggs and beef) as soon as we got to our table & they said they could accommodate. The let's just say I left hungry and I'm pretty sure I was given an item that had dairy in even though I asked when it was delivered to me. Also, the others with me said the food was good but they didn't feel it was worth the $ we spent.

Do NOT go here! I have been to other locations but this one is absolutely not safe. Was told neither cheese bread nor polenta were safe because of shared prep area and shared frier. Staff wouldn’t answer cross contamination questions with clear answers. “How severe is your celiac?”, eek. It was clear they couldn’t say they don’t have good CC protocols. Frankly embarrassing. Lots of better options close by!!

Most of the meats and salad bar items are gf. They don’t have a gf menu so tell them you have a gluten allergy and ask to speak to a manager. The manager can list the items that are not gf. Sometimes I forget and have to ask the manager again. The all you can eat is a fun experience for a special occasion but I usually sit at the bar and get the lamb chops, which are amazing. The rolls they serve at the table are gf and another one of my favorite items.

Server was knowledgeable about allergies and said all the meats served are gluten free and most of the items on the Market Table (self serve buffet style) are gluten free except for the cheeses, any bread items and the Caesar Salad because it has croutons. We went for Brunch as soon as it opened to avoid cross contamination at the Market Table and very few tables had people sitting there. There is also a menu you can order from if you are uncomfortable with the Market Table. It is pricey but everything I ate was delicious!
