Review of Jack's Restaurant & Bar

There is definitely a disclaimer with this place. It truly depends which employee you get because I spoke to 1 that didn’t even know they had a gluten free menu and the manager I spoke with wasn’t sure if her kitchen knew how to prepare the gluten free food. But upon her asking, she told me the kitchen manager is fully aware of how to prepare the gluten free food and keeps it in a separate area. It’s nice to know that the kitchen staff is aware.

My personal experience last night was great. I sat in the bar area and had an amazing waiter who knew to check with the kitchen about preparing the food separately and he checked that my dish was made with the gluten free pasta before I took a bite. He even gladly checked the brand name of the olive oil for me so I could look it up (I’ve reacted to a ton of olive oils). He assured me many times that I wouldn’t get sick and made me feel super comfortable. I sadly didn’t get his name but he was tall with a beard and said he had been there for years. I got the spaghetti with clams substituted with gluten free penne and it was amazing. I didn’t react at all. Even their creme brûlée is gluten free!
