Garden of the Gods Club & Resort

Celiac/GF/DF Allergies not taken seriously. I mentioned it to the waitress 3 times when ordering and asked to substitute berries for potatoes and no dairy. My plate came with a side of potatoes (shared fryer) and no berries. I also ordered a chocolate chip gf muffin and was brought a lemon blueberry muffin that clearly tasted like it had sour cream in it. I let them know I didn’t feel safe eating. A manager came to let me know the waitress entered my order correctly but the kitchen staff wasn’t careful but that she talked to them and they now know to take precautions. Too late for me. For dinner I ordered a GF/vegan flatbread that wasn’t tasty at all. The next day I ordered a salad to go (not much else GF/DF I could eat with other intolerances I have)….got to the room and there was a slug crawling on the inside lid of the container. For the $$$ of this place and previous great reviews, I expected more. There are not many choices for GF/DF around the area here and the restaurant messing up really ruined my stay.

Absolutely GF Friendly (celiac). Our son has celiac, so dining options while traveling are very important to my wife and me.

GG Resorts has several restaurants all with gluten free options. Several dedicated GF Friers. Wait staff and management was very knowledgeable on GF allergies and a few other nut/ fruit allergies. Always served with gloves and reiterated the allergy concern discreetly while serving. Gave us tremendous peace of mind, and our son never had any issues.

They have a ton of GF options, all which were tasty and large portions.

Highly recommend, as it was probably the most pleasant dining experience we’ve had while traveling.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had great experiences at breakfast. Good omelettes. Side of bacon. GF toast. GF pancakes don't taste good in my opinion. Beautiful views while eating.

Room service I had the GF braised short ribs. They tasted great, but I did have a reaction to something. Possibly the sauce but can't be sure.

Bar area has some nice options. The pemento cheese dip with corn tortilla chips were good along with the wings fried in crab fat. I also had a shrimp meal and chicken tortilla soup. The chicken tortilla soup wasn't good. The shrimp had good flavor.

While I think they have made a nice effort and there are some good gluten free options, If you're celiac I would be wary of ordering anything with one of their sauces, and I would make sure to confirm with them that they let the chef know you have an "allergy."

Good gluten free dinner options--braised short ribs were incredible! Knowledgeable and accommodating staff as well.
