Review of Grand Lux Cafe

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
