Good is delicious. Used to eat here before becoming GF- not many options for me anymore.

I have eaten here many times before my Celiac diagnosis, and after. The ambiance is great, drinks list is awesome, and it’s centrally located. It is also no longer a place I’ll try, because they’re fully unable to serve GF customers. Their current menu has one shrimp appetizer that’s GF, and one shrimp + grits entree that’s GF (though one visit the server suggested it was not actually GF). No GF toast, or other replacements. A handful of sides that are GF (fruit, ham, bacon..). Their servers aren’t educated about GF either, and even though I’ve never strayed from the one or two items listed as GF, I never feel good afterwards, so I’d suggest it’s not a Celiac-friendly restaurant. So sad. Eat beforehand if you’re going to go.

This is a really cute restaurant and a nice atmosphere (but really loud) and they do have gluten free options marked on the menu but there are extremely limited options. I ended up getting the sausage, fruit, and potatoes. It was fine and filled me up but I’m not hurrying to go back.

I’d like to have more gf options. They don’t have a single appetizer that is gf or can be gf. Makes for a sad happy hour. They offer very few dinner entrees gf also but the short ribs I did have were ok. They came out cold.

Southern inspired Food. Menu had many gluten free options and they can also accommodate other items.

Great craft drink menu

I’m really surprised by the great reviews. They only had three dinner entrees (nothing special, chicken or pork chops and mashed potatoes) and one appetizer that were gf. No bread, nothing on their brunch menu. Server was knowledgeable and food was tasty, but a couple more options would have been nice. I’m curious as to why they had so many options when other commenters were there.

This place was amazing. Even during a busy brunch Sunday, our server and the manager got the importance of cross contamination and made me a safe customize breakfast. There is so special menu, but everyone got it and helped me eat well. We will definitely go back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Have had great experiences here. Staff is knowledgeable and food and drinks delicious!! Wish they would have a GF dessert but otherwise - great place for a meal!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free bun option available for sandwiches! Many other options available.

Food was very good but the server was difficult. I told him I have Celiac's and was curious what on the menu was gluten free. He then proceeds to tell me "It's self explanatory" and walks away. Now, I was there on Sunday during brunch so it was a busy time. But the menu does not have GF items marked so how was it suppose to be self explanatory? Once he came back, I asked if there was GF bread for the sandwiches and he said no. I read that they did carry at least that so that was disappointing. I just ordered a salad and it was good! But the service was frustrating.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a lovely experience here. Though no items are indicated as gluten free on the menu, they have several items available. I sent a request form to the Chef (from the ida claire website) asking which dishes were gluten free and got a very quick and comprehensive response from Chef Amanda.

She listed some items that are naturally gluten free as well as some assurances regarding possible contamination.

"We do have naturally gluten free items including but not limited to our roasted chicken, shrimp and grits, smoked pork chop, blackened Icelandic sea trout, grilled branzini, and a gluten free bun option for our sandwiches and biscuits.

Our sweet potato chips that we make in house are fried in fresh clean soybean oil every morning, so they are 100% gluten free. The only items I do not feel comfortable preparing for anyone who is gluten intolerant would be our fried items, because after our chips are prepared in the early morning and when we open for service, our fried items do get cross contaminated with whole wheat flours. That being said, all fried items can be prepared grilled or pan seared."

I would highly recommend visiting Ida Claire.
