Review


I had very high hopes for this restaurant after reading all of the reviews and the fact that the Chef's daughter is Celiac. I came here with my daughter who is Celiac and was looking forward to a great meal. We asked for and ordered from the GF menu (and notified the server my daughter is Celiac), ordering the Cheese Plate and Moroccan Skewers for a starter. Because my daughter is so sensitive, we use the Nima sensor (a portable device that tests for the presence of gluten - https://nimasensor.com/), and found that the Moroccan Skewers showed an unacceptable level of gluten. She did not eat any of the skewers as a result and we were hoping this was a one-off and her chicken main course would be fine. Unfortunately that dish also had gluten in it as well so she could not eat it. What I presume to be the manager happened to walk by at that time and asked how our meal was. I explained that both of the dishes my daughter ordered had gluten and we explained to him Nima, which he had not heard of (not a surprise - Nima is quite new). I immediately asked for a check so I could take my daughter somewhere else to eat. He took her chicken dish off the bill, but frankly was not very courteous. If it were my restaurant, I would have had the chef come out to better understand the issue, especially given his daughter is Celiac. By the way (and this is not sour grapes, just factual), our server was not very good - after our appetizer, he cleared our plates and was walking away with the dirty skewer sticks still in the middle of the table - I had to ask him to clear them away. Will not come back here and would steer any Celiacs away from here until they figure out what is happening in this kitchen.

Celiac friendly?
