The “bread” mentioned in another post is actually gluten free cheesy Brazilian rolls. Almost everything with a few exceptions, is gluten free. They have a book containing all allergens, it’s not hard to navigate. The food is amazing. Another post is inaccurate about gluten filled deserts, as they are not prepared in the same kitchen. It’s one of my favorite places.

As a celiac, I would be very careful of this restaurant. The staff is NOT knowledgeable about what is in the food. However there is a giant book of allergens you can ask for. I did my best, but it is hard to consult the book with everything in real time and there is gluten bread made on site as well as almost all of the desserts which have gluten. Additionally, almost all of the bar food contains gluten. Be wary of anything fried.

Had a solid experience here. They gave me an allergy printout (like 5 pages) indicating any allergen ingredients in every food (including all sauces and dressings) served. That was very helpful! The cheesy bread they give you is still GF, made with tapioca flour, and sooo good…and all meats are still GF except the chicken and the sausage…three different servers reiterated this for me. So I was able to eat lots of delicious things with no issue at all. Also, the manager came out when he saw I had the allergen materials on the table and double checked that I felt very informed and had no issues, which I really appreciated. I heard before I went that the polenta sticks are not fried in a dedicated fryer, so I did not eat those. The food was all delicious and you get a lot for the price. It was very busy and a bit chaotic to get seated even with a reservation, but worth it, just don’t go when you’re on a timeline. Definitely recommend.

The staff was knowledgeable about what was gluten-free. They had a large salad bar. There was bread but it was on a separate area where the rice and beans were. All the rotisserie meats were gluten-free except for the chicken legs and the sausages. I was told the sausages were made offsite and did not have any gluten ingredients but they couldn’t guarantee it so I did not have any just in case. I have not had any ill effects after 14 hours so I don’t think I got cross contaminated! I plan to take my dad here for his birthday in May

Staff was helpful in showing me what was not safe. Fried chicken legs and the sausages were the only meats I had to stay away from.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything was soooo good! The marinated chicken contains gluten as well as the lava cake. The other meats AND the bread on the table are all gluten free!

I was super impressed! I made a reservation online and mentioned my celiac disease and my other food allergies. Within 24 hours of making the reservation I received an email with a full allergen list for my reference. When I arrived the manager came over and brought the list and went through every item they serve to ensure I knew exactly what I could and couldn’t eat. They even offered to prepare special items to meet my needs. It was an amazing experience and excellent food!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

amazing food... ! my wife has Celiac's and there were only 2 things she couldn't have.. chicken and sausage. definitely recommend !!!

Great food and I did not get glutened from the meat or salad bar. Servers were knowledge. However, service was variable and we felt ignored sometimes. Especially for how much we paid. Will go back again hoping for a better experience. We went to the one in Las Vegas and they were amazing! Polenta fries were great and love the gf rolls!

I so wish I could give this restaurant a higher score. The food was delicious! But unfortunately, I still got glutened. They have a salad bar, which I was very careful not to get any dressings or gluten containing items. They have cheese rolls that are gluten free, which was very exciting. They continuously bring different kinds of meat to your table, which is awesome! But some of the meats are braised in beer. There is a big risk of cross contamination. I told the server about my celiac and he didn't seem incredibly knowledgeable about what items contained gluten. Other locations say they send a manager over to talk the customer through items to avoid that contain gluten. This location did not send the manager over. The meat was very good, but I will not be back due to cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

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!
