My adult daughter is a celiac. We went to Sweetwater specifically because of their GF menu. At the counter we inquired about a separate kitchen, and we were assured that was the case, and that they could make her food gluten free. We were told yes. We sat down and reviewed the menu. We wanted the Gluten free option of Chicken Nachos. The waiter- whom we have much respect for- informed us that it wasn't really gluten free. They put flour on the cheese and the corn tortilla chips. We addressed the menu which says they have a gluten free option, and he assured us that it wasn't really gluten free. It was reduced gluten. I spoke with the manager and she said the same. I suggested they change their menu and stop advertising things as gluten free when there is actually gluten in them. She paid fir the drinks we ordered (1 pop, 1 beer) but we left without drinking them. We are discouraged that so many do not understand or appreciate the risk to celiacs. We are grateful to the waiter who saved my daughter from getting sick.

Celiac friendly?
