Review of Pinched on the River

I’ve never had such an awful experience at a restaurant relating to my celiac before. I ordered a gluten free pita roll and when it came out, I took a bite and it tasted suspiciously good. I waited for the waitress to come back and asked her if my pita was gluten free and she said no. I kindly asked that my plate be remade because I had ordered a GF pita roll due to my celiac. She immediately responded, “You NEVER ordered a gluten free pita.” First of all… what the f??? Even if this was true, you don’t respond to anyone this way. But of course, it was NOT true because I literally cannot eat a regular pita and would never order a regular pita. When my friend confirmed to the waitress that she had also heard me order GF, the waitress said, “If you had ordered a GF pita, I would have known because we have GF pitas so it would have been easy to write down.” ….She’s telling on herself because, yeah, I KNOW you have GF pitas which is why I ordered one - and it SHOULD be easy to write down, she just wasn’t paying attention. I asked her why she was arguing with me about what I ordered instead of finding a resolution. She acted surprised I called her out and then angrily took my plate and walked off - without saying if she would be replacing it. Eventually, she did come back out with the GF pita roll and apologized and was suddenly very nice - likely to save her tip. Entirely unimpressed and pretty appalled to be honest.

TLDR: Rude waitress arguing about what I ordered; if you do decide to go, make sure to clarify that you have celiac and that they heard you say gluten free.
