Napa on Providence

I came here for restaurant week and had an overall great experience! Their prix fixe menu was mostly gluten free options that were clearly marked. Our waiter was helpful and very knowledgeable/ willing to ask the kitchen when he didn’t know something.

I rate 4 stars because of an accident that could have turned out bad had I not caught it. There were no gf dessert options on the prix fixe menu, so I asked the waiter if he could make any accommodations for that. He came out with flourless chocolate cake and I was so excited. The cake came out with cookie crumble that made me suspicious as the people I dined with (not gf) got dessert with the same crumble. I asked the waiter about it and he immediately took it back and replaced it with a crumble free cake. He was incredibly apologetic for the mistake. I’m just glad I got suspicious of it! The cake by the way was delicious!

Despite this accident I would definitely dine here again. As always just be vigilant and ask questions. I didn’t get sick and that’s because I was suspicious of something that didn’t look right.

The food was really good but what REALLY impressed us was the service. Shawn was very considerate, knowledgeable, and helpful. We never felt pressured to purchase anything we didn’t want but he was helpful in figuring out what we did want. I fully recommend the salmon and the En Route Pinot Noir. This was a pricey restaurant but definitely a wonderful experience.

Really fabulous food in a beautiful setting and the waitstaff was extremely knowledgeable. Also double checked with the chef to ensure the salad dressing we wanted as a modification was GF

Very few dinner options and my celiac child was sick after eating here... did not seem overly concerned about GF not mentioned it when delivering food to table.

One of my wife and I’s favorite gluten free spots. Impeccable service. Knowledgeable staff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

i have celiac and was happy to be at a nice cool restaurant in a nice cool area of Charlotte. Menu is labeled GF for several items. I felt comfortable eating there. I told the waiter I have celiac and am ordering a few items ( Caesar salad , pork chop) that should be easy to make gluten free. ( Caesar without croutons, pork chop without gnocchi) Waiter said “if you have real celiac, you cannot eat anything in this restaurant. There is flour everywhere “. I was sitting down with a party of 8 and felt very anxious and uncomfortable to eat there but didn’t want to get up and leave. It was Thanksgiving weekend with my family. I’ve had Celiac for ten years and was never spoken that way that in any restaurant. Very strange. The waiter said the chef informed all the servers to say that. It was as if the chef didn’t want to have to deal with any food or allergy accommodations at all. I still ate my salad. When the waiter placed the pork chop before me, he said, “The chef corrected me. We can serve you here. He just needs to be informed. You did the right thing you telling me you had celiac. I apologize. “ Very odd. Among the oddest experiences I’ve had in a restaurant. I eat out several times a week for ten years and eat very safely because of my dietary restrictions. This experience was the worst fear anyone suffering with celiac has when he or she has when they go to a restaurant. I thank God my recently diagnosed shy teenaged son happened to not be with us.

Delicious menu, attentive staff showed concern for my GF needs (Celiac). Great wine list too! Highly recommend!
