Naxos Taverna

Looking for a gluten free lunch after driving to a marked gluten free restaurant and then finding out it's not actually gluten free, we ended up driving to Red Rock to eat at Yard House. There's only a few places I can eat in town as I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free.

We hadn't been to Red Rock since they changed the buffet to a restaurant space. We decided to take a lap around and stumbled upon Naxos. I decided to go ahead and ask if they had any gluten free options. Not only did they bring out staff to talk to me, they gave me the allergen listings.

******* ADVICE FOR MANAGEMENT ******* As a Celiac, I rely on online menus and menus posted outside restaurants to figure out if I can eat at a restaurant. Please start putting "GF" or a little symbol on your online menu and the menu out front so people like me can know ahead of time if they can eat here.

The restaurant only had 2 other tables during Sunday lunch (lunch is only available on the weekends.) Honestly, money is being left on the table by not putting this information online or even on the menu as people with a whole host of autoimmune diseases, allergies and medical issues travel and have to scout out restaurants that can accommodate us. Because you can accommodate us, advertise this! We want to find you to spend our money!

****** My husband and I each ordered from the $35 prix fixe menu.

I ordered the gluten free: Marouli salad (starter) - very nice size, tasty. Lavraki fish (main) - delicious. Pistachio & ricotta frozen yogurt (dessert) Not a fan. Had a rum raisin flavor despite it being pistachio ricotta but it was the only gluten free dessert.

My husband ordered: Falafel with hummus (starter) 8oz skirt steak with salsa verde (gluten free) (main) Date cake (dessert)

We also started with the $16 lunch portion of saganaki with honey, lemon and pistachio as a starter. It wasn't flaming and comes in a little cast iron dish. It was delicious but felt overpriced at $16.

We didn't buy any more sides because spinach rice, cauliflower or potatoes range from $14-$15 which is just too much for a starch side dish.

The service from Aaron was 10/10. The food was delicious. The restaurant was beautiful.

The price point may be a little too spendy judging by the empty dining room. I think having a marked menu could bring in more customers - who will pay at the current price point - who want a meal out but don't know that this place can accommodate their food restrictions.
