Gaia Bistrot

Although I did not get sick, it was a disappointing experience. The dishes that can be made GF are marked on the menu, and although it seemed like our waiter understood me being celiac; all of my dishes had to be remade upon arrival. My tomato soup arrived with croutons on the side, and when I asked if they were GF, the waiter simply plucked them from my plate and said “now it is!”. This made me nervous as it was obvious the plate was not prepared GF. When my main dish arrived, Shrimp Risotto, there were fried potato shavings on top… I immediately asked about how they were prepared, and unfortunately my dish had to be remade as the topping was done in a shared fryer. By the time they remade my dish, about 15min, my table had already finished eating and I ate alone. The food was amazing but I am very disappointed in the level of care taken. I will say that in hindsight, our waiter came across as very arrogant and this could have been why so little care was taken, but I cannot say for sure! Since I never fell ill I definitely recommend other fellow GF folks give them a try, but do be cautious and attentive!
