Wheat Allergy

Overall Rating

Review


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.

I am updated my review from a few years ago. This place is much better than the other Brazilian steakhouse down the road!

Almost entire menu gluten free. The only thing on the buffet was Italian bread and all their meats were gf. Desserts that were gf were ice cream or crème brûlée. Pricy but fun experience.

No GF menu, but they had an allergen list and only 4 items had gluten in them. Even the salad buffet has great options. They bring meat around to the tables and the only thing I couldn't have was the chicken. All the beef, pork, and lamb were GF. Also, the side dishes they bring out were GF as well. Mashed potatoes, fried polenta, and cheesy bread! It was fantastic and I would love to go back!

I'm not sure about all the bad experiences others had. Ours was perfect. I made a reservation with open table and put that we had a gluten allergy on it. As soon as we were greeted by the host she immediately acknowledged my gluten allergy and said everything on the market table except one bread is gluten free and all the meats. It was the easiest place to eat in a long time. No reaction. Service was amazing!!!

I asked about GF options and the waitstaff told me pretty much everything is GF except for the obvious stuff like bread, and sausage (less obvious). The website also has a section on GF options. Did not get glutened!

Had an excellent experience here! All meats are gf (they used to use regular beer to make their chicken legs but they no longer do). And almost everything on the market bar is gf … I just had the manager walk me through it and show me what I couldn’t eat. Love their fried polenta (I have them leave off the cheese on top) and fried bananas. They also have gf cheese bread if you can eat dairy. This place is pretty small in comparison to their other locations (like Vegas), so I suggest getting a reservation. Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed and you’ll leave stuffed. It’s right across the street from Modern Bagel. This is a fun place as the servers come around with skewers of different meats.

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)
