Review of Pine Tavern Restaurant

I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with avocado on a gluten free bun. Since their fries are battered, our server offered to substitute sweet potato fries. My order was delivered with a regular bun and battered fries. I asked for my meal to be remade and said I have a “gluten allergy.” That was when the server told me the sweet potato fries are cooked in a shared fryer and offered to substitute a salad. By the time I got my meal the others in my group were done eating. The server apologized about the error and said she “was busy and forgot”. The food was delicious once I finally got it…but we were charged for the meal that had to be remade, plus extra for the gluten free bun and the salad. This is a lovely restaurant on the river and the food was good but I won’t be returning.
