Great experience. Manager walked us through the salad bar and indicated the items we were to avoid as well as the one meat to exclude. Great taste, expensive but were cared for well by management.

Honestly had a great dinner. The waiter didn’t know much, but their website has an amazing allergen menu that tells you exactly what you can and can’t have. Including cocktails! At at the salad bar, had the majority of the meats that came around, got a drink and a dessert and did not get sick!

We asked the a manager to walk us through the salad bar and sides that were gluten free. She started giving us a list which included cheese, deli meats, potato salad and asparagus for the salad bar. Then they brought hot sides to the table and we had to ask her to come back and tell us about those. She told us the rice, French fries and cheese bread was gluten free. I questioned the fries and asked what else was fries in the same oil. She said nothing. My boys (both with celiac disease) spared no time and dug in. About 5 minutes later she came back and told us the fries were not gluten free. We left with a $200 bill and 2 sick kids.

Gluten free cheese bread, Jasmine rice, and fried banana. Gluten free creme brulee. It was awesome!

The food here was terrible and overpriced! With the facade of a fancy restaurant, they served canned beans, bland cheese, and raw vegetables. Definitely not vegetarian friendly, but they have a lot of meat —which we didn’t try because the salad buffet was terrible so we didn’t feel like paying double to eat meat. There are gluten free options, but the food is simply not worth paying for. I don’t understand the hype at all!!

I ate there and it was delicious. Didn’t get glutened. However, the staff did not walk me through the salad bar. My waitress gave me a sheet of the GF options but the salad bar items were not labeled. A manager went through the salad bar with me once I asked.

The tabbouleh contains gluten and it was next to the GF mozzarella balls. I found pieces of tabbouleh in the mozzarella for example. I’m a new Celiac so I’m sure this is very common.

The meat is GF and the fried bananas and cheese bread. I ate a lot of those ;)

Free cheesy bread when you sit down which is gluten free, amazing salad bar filled with mostly gf options, all meats are gf as well. Pricey but a cool experience, worth it for a nice dinner out in Detroit.

They always do a great job here! The manager gave me a tour of the buffet and explained what I could eat. Everything was delicious, especially the rolls!

Never again! They are using “utility cuts” of meat. Pretty smart, charge a hefty price for the trimmings from prime cuts of steak. The best thing was Shrimp (cooked to perfection), then lamb followed by skirt steak. Yes, the skirt steak was juicy and tender unlike both samples of filets that were full of fat and gristles. Save your money. You can get better steak at Texas Roadhouse for a fraction of the price.

My favorite place to eat, but definitely a splurge. I love coming here because there are more things that I can eat than I can’t. Makes me feel normal and the staff is beyond kind and go out of their way to make sure I leave full

I told the servers that I have celiac, they neglected to tell me the mashed potatoes have flour in them. When I told the manager what happened, he only took $20 off the bill

Went here last night and after telling waitress I needed gluten free, she got the manager. He asked if it was preference and I told him no, I have celiac. He looked confused and I said allergy. He told me that the only thing on hot side of salad bar that I could have is rice, to avoid salami and couscous on salad bar, spicy beef and sausages. I asked why mashed potatoes were not gluten free and he said they put powder on top (very disappointing). I had the pan fried bananas brought to the table, and a few vegetables from salad bar. The bread was GF and good. We had lamb, and different cuts of beef., and creme brulet and flan for dessert (GF). I ended up unable to sleep most of the night with stomach pain and a bad headache. I’m guessing maybe the seasoning on the meat or something on salad bar had gluten, and I am not real sensitive to cross contamination.
