Review of Forge in the Forest

The server told us that only 1 dish was safe, despite what I had read in a variety of reviews.

The "paella" was greasy and disgusting. The server told us that nothing else could be made gluten free. I was still hungry because the paella was inedible, so I asked if there was dessert. The server said that only the creme brulee was gluten free. It was frozen to the point that the spoon couldn't break through, and the top was still just white granulated sugar. Really, this place was an overpriced expensive dump with disaffected staff. UNTRUSTWORTHY, UNSAFE.

This place basically treats customers as shooting fish in a barrel. They barely tolerate your presence for your money. Staff burnout usually means a poorly managed establishment, which translates to unsafe dining for celiac and food allergy clients. The staff was surly and hostile, and who wants to eat where only one single dish that was subpar is gluten free?
