If you only want a GF beer, this is your place! I was told the server would be able to provide us with our GF options. It went downhill from there. The server's knowledge of gluten consisted of bread. He went to get the chef so I harbored hope. The chef's first question was, "Okay, so exactly how sensitive to gluten are you?" at which point he raised one hand over his head and lowered the other to below his waist. This question always amuses me as I am Celiac and my daughter is intolerant. He proceeded to tell me that there are some people so sensitive to gluten that they will DIE within 30 minutes. Really, Chef? I tried to set things right, but he - as you might think - didn't appreciate the effort. Menu options are limited to salad or burgers without buns - no fries, and if you choose another side because you can't eat the one offered (cross-contaminated fries), you are up charged. My husband said he would rather someone be ignorant and careful, assuming I might die. My response is - how knowledgable is the chef on tricky items like soy sauce, if he was so off on the basics. This kind of ignorance makes for an anxious meal where it is hard to relax and enjoy the meal.
