Grand Tavern

Last night my family and myself went to Grand Tavern for supper after a long day. Our waiter Xhorxh was absolutely amazing!

Personally, I have dietary restrictions and explained to him that I am unable to have gluten, dairy, or egg. I had already pre-creeped the menu before arriving so I could find a meal that would be easy to hopefully adapt to my dietary restrictions.

After explaining my restrictions Xhorxh was ON IT! He immediately spoke to the chef and the chef adapted my meal to my restrictions. Xhorxh did tell me that there could be a possible cross contamination with gluten on one of my sides and explained that they couldn’t guarantee that that one thing would be gluten free.

Listen, not very often in the service industry do you come across a wait staff member or chef that made sure to cross all of the boxes.

I ordered brussel sprouts as the appetizer without the cheese (I could have had three plates of that it was so good) and the cedar plank salmon and ordered two veggies as my side. IT was DELISH!!!!!

Xhorxh also made sure that our drinks were constantly filled and took amazing care of our family. My MIL even made a comment after we received our meals how she really liked him as a waiter.

I wished we had a Grand Tavern where we lived but unfortunately we are 8 hours away but we will absolutely be back when visiting family! ❤

Picture is my meal but I had already demolished my asparagus 😂

They have some options but I did not feel safe enough to eat here. They don't know about gluten free well enough to be celiac safe.

Celiac friendly?

No

No printed gluten free menu. After telling the waitress that I needed gluten free and asking multiple questions about specific menu items, I ordered the Cajun chicken salad. The salad was served to me in a fried flour tortilla bowl. This was not listed on the menu as being part of the salad. They made me a new one minus the shell. But the fact that neither the cook nor the waitress stopped to think that the tortilla shell would not be ok makes me seriously question the knowledge of the staff to keep things gluten free. The food was really good and the staff nice. Gluten free burger buns were available.

Celiac friendly?

No

Variety of Gluten Free options, they had delicious gluten free pasta. My son had penne with Alfredo sauce. It normally comes with chicken, but they were able to make it for him with shrimp instead. They said the fries were not gluten free however. Seemed like a place people go for a beer, but the food was good, and they had a small children's menu (not gluten free except burgers)

Celiac friendly?

Yes
