Review of River Belle Terrace

Ate here recently, chose it as it was one of the few available for a last minute dinner reservation. We both had the “burnt ends grilled cheese” - my partner is not celiac and ate his with gluten. He does think the regular bread added to it, but I greatly enjoyed mine. The brisket made it feel a lot more filling than just a grilled cheese.

I opted to have just grapes on the side as it sounded nice. We did not ask about desserts. They have the mixed “allergy” menu, it only had one or two items listed but I was reassured that I could also have all sandwiches (except anything fried, as the fryer is contaminated - a fact which they knew and told me before I could even ask).

Overall it felt safe - waiter was immediately knowledgeable and still brought out the chef. The only thing was the chef was my least reassuring one this far… he was nice but wanted to ask me a bunch of questions about my eating dairy. Perhaps I’m looking into it too much but it made me feel like he didn’t understand it all that well, especially since I’d ordered the grilled cheese…nonetheless I felt safe, ate it all, and had no reaction.
