Review


This place recently opened. I asked the server if they had any gluten free options and explained that I have celiac disease and am pescatarian. Their response was not thorough, they weren't able to point out or mark specific dishes like some places (Barcelona) do. The options were cold appetizers, bone marrow, maybe a shrimp appetizer. I asked about entree items and was told that they could maybe do the steak, but that everything else has roux. I was a little surprised because when I made the reservation, I noticed gluten free options in the sidebar with other tags like French, vegetarian options, etc. I can't remember what the other tags were but they definitely had gluten free options, which is why I even made the reservation. I also looked at the menu in advance and they had some sides, fish entrees, and a risotto. Usually risotto is gluten free, so I thought this would be a safer option.

Hearing how few options there were, we decided to leave. We hadn't ordered anything yet and I hate leaving restaurants like this, but sometimes it is necessary. The staff member wasn't very friendly in their response and it was a negative experience overall. I've been to other restaurants in the neighborhood that haven't been able to accommodate celiac options, and the staff has always been very kind and understanding and even given suggestions of places to try instead.
