Grand Lux Cafe

Menu has items that can be modified to be GF. I had the Jumbo Shrimp Salad with lemon vinaigrette dressing instead of the thousand island dressing, which is not GF according to the knowledgeable waitress. My salad was bought out separately from everyone else’s meal. The salad was good, just wished it had more shrimp! I also tested my meal with my Nima Sensor and it said no gluten found. Most importantly, I didn’t get sick!

My boyfriend has celiac and we eat here all the time with no reaction!! It’s great and the staff is very well informed about allergies and know what to recommend. We both love eating here! He usually gets the pasta and so far no reaction

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Although the menu indicated some items were gluten free, please do not eat here! I have been sick for 2 days now. It has been awhile since I have had such a bad case.

Celiac friendly?

No

Several items are marked gluten free. They have a warning that the kitchen is not gluten free. I risked it & had gluten free pasta carbonara. It was delicious but I'm so sick now. Haven't been glutened in a long time. Be careful

Celiac friendly?

No

Servers daughter had celiac so she was very knowledgeable. I had the Cobb salad and they changed the dressing for me. Normally don’t eat at this chain, but would go again based on my experience!

The waiter assured me that my breakfast dish would be gluten free, and the chefs would change gloves and utensils but the NIMA sensor detected gluten. However, I will say it was only traces of gluten. (I tested both the smoked salmon omelette and pastrami omelette dish, which included hash browns) Also they claim they toast their GF bread separately, which they might, but my GF bun came out with a bunch of green vegetable residue and other food residue attached to it that likely came from some time of shared surface. The waiter had assured me that the kitchen would clean surfaces change gloves and utensils and after seeing the food residue on my bread I sort of lost confidence in their efforts to prevent cross contamination.

Manager came out to apologize and offer something else, and said he thought the hash browns were definitely gluten free as it was a dedicated skillet to the hash browns. I didn’t want to take a chance so I just asked for boiled eggs as a replacement to make sure they were GF. Unfortunately the eggs were basically completely raw and inedible - but we still were charged for them and I didn’t want to say anything again
