Review of Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville

I was disappointed. I went to Margaritaville 8 years ago and it felt very easy to order food and the staff were knowledge. Maybe the server was new, but she could not answer a single question about the gluten status of foods, went to ask the kitchen four times, came back out and said the rice would not be safe (then went back and confirmed it was?), and just kept saying [insert menu item here] would be potentially cross contaminated but it might be gluten free actually? I wish she’d either asked a chef to come out or had a manager come over. Once the food came out, it was decent and I did clean my plate (we had flown that day and hadn’t eaten in 12 hours), and we made sure to tip since she did run around asking questions. I just wouldn’t say that Margaritaville can accommodate easily anymore.
