Review of The Blue Ox

My husband and I went there the other night. I was so excited because it had a designated GF menu. We sat in the bar area. The waiter started out great until I said I was Gluten free. Then he kind of rolled his eyes at me and said well are you celiac or is it a preference? I said it’s not celiac but it’s a severe intolerance, which he didn’t believe. He said well we have to ask because not everything on the gluten free menu is in fact gluten free. I was horrified. Why have a Gluten Free menu if it’s not all gluten free? I asked about the tuna tartar and it being safe. He said they have to do it a different way and it takes much longer. He was kind of rude about it. I said fine I’ll wait. I did not get sick from it but he made me feel bad about myself and ruined the dinner. He was knowledgeable but went through the gf menu pointing out what was safe and what wasn’t with an attitude!It’s expensive and I was really disappointed considering what a nice restaurant this is. So BEWARE!

Celiac friendly?

No
