Worst dining experience I have had in the Hudson Valley. Waitress stacked my friend's plate of pitas directly on top of my food. As in the bottom of the plate with pitas in it was resting on top of my food. I told her I couldn't eat it. She told me the pita didn't touch my food, just the bottom of the plate. She then was nasty when I told her I didn't feel comfortable eating my food. In response, she grabbed my plate, went back to the kitchen and yelled loud enough for the entire establishment to hear "THIS NEEDS TO BE REMADE BECAUSE SHE CAN'T EAT ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HAVE TOUCHED BREAD!" When it came time for the bill, we waited for a very long time and the wait staff just stood there looking at our table. I went to ask for the bill and as I approached the register, one of the waitresses who wasn't ours rolled her eyes at the man who seemed to be in charge that day. I told him we were ready for the check and he said to me "You can wait until I'm done. As you can see, I'm doing something." We had eaten here prior and it was a good experience, but we will never return after this last visit.

Joshua’s was perfect for my New Years Eve dinner. Sure I had to ask a bunch of questions and get clarification but the food was AMAZING. The entree came with an appetizer that was accommodated to be gf, salad, and my main meal. I had salmon, brown rice and asparagus. Delish! Got dessert, a tapioca pudding that’s gf and dairy free. It was sooo good. I will surely be back to try more on the menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Folks with celiac need to be vigilant if they want to eat here safely. When we ordered we told the waitress we all had to eat gf (3 of the 4 people in our party have celiac). Right away she asked whether we wanted white or whole wheat pita, showing that she hadn’t listened or understood what gf means. We ordered the blackened shrimp appetizer which is clearly marked gf on the menu. But it arrived on top of tortilla chips, and when we asked if they were cooked in the same oil as gf-containing food the waitress checked with the chef and said yes! The food was good but too risky; we won’t be back.

Celiac friendly?

No

Excellent flavors and balance - accommodating to GF - service was slow but food was delicious

Many GF options. They do charge for GF bread. the chicken salad sandwich I had was so big (and delicious) I didn't really need the bread. Knowledgeable staff, good service, pleasant dining room

Many, many gluten free options- from appetizer to dessert!

Celiac friendly?

Yes
