Review of Ida Claire

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.
