⭐Once the doors open you see an exquisite bar surrounded by tables that appear to be round amusement park ride cars with lights above.

⭐The menu was clearly labeled for allergens and had several options that you normally wouldn’t see available for those with dietary restrictions. I had the GF margarita flatbread. It had a chocolate balsamic drizzle which surprisingly added a tantalizing affect to the flatbread.

⭐You absolutely must have a reservation here unless you want to wait!

There are only 3 GF items on the menu. A kids grilled chicken, a kids grilled salmon and a salad on the adult menu. Not many options but the waitress was very kind. She even checked to make sure the mashed potatoes were GF. She was not 100% sure so my girls had the salad, chicken and salmon with carrots and brussel sprouts. They said their meals were delicious. For a special drink we asked for milk with Hershey’s syrup. The waitress double checked the bottle and the kitchen did try to make it fun by the way they drizzled the syrup for them. We chose to skip dessert and grab packaged labeled GF Reese’s treats from the gift shop for dessert. So options were extremely limited but they were delicious and safe and they had zero symptoms after.

Excellent experience for my sons many food allergies. The chef came to speak with us and safely prepared sliders and fries. He was very happy to be included with his friends!

Descent food and a good experience with kids. Service was slow - but I think that was because everything ordered for our table went through an allergy chef in the back. Our table had the Ferris wheel, which the kids like but I could only eat the wings which were labeled allergy friendly. My food came out separate. They had burgers, tacos, and flatbreads. The menu was sort of labeled with a note burgers can be made gluten free and fries can be cooked separately. After ordering they checked in the back and informed me of anything that would need to be removed to make it gluten free. Overall it was a good experience with knowledgeable staff.

Although there were a million tables open, we were told there was a ten-15 minute wait. We sat at bar/ two couples and two kids. It was at least ten minutes before the bartender even asked for our drink order- we finished our drinks before they took the food order. The regular menu didn't say gf but the online app did, so I asked the server about a couple of the items. She didn't know. It was at least another 30 min until they brought the food- w two little kids that was a LONG. Wait. But- I got the shrimp tacos and they came out marked “allergy”. My ftiescamr out ten minutes after but that was because they baked them separate to avoid all contamination. All said and done: food was good and I felt safe! Took too long!

Disappointed. I ordered the “Turkey Tower” with gf bun. It tasted good, but it was no tower and smaller than other turkey sandwiches I’ve had. I heard they could bake fries but asked if there was something else I could get instead. Morgan listed a side salad so I took that. I didn’t realize I was being charged extra ($4.25) and not getting part of the meal that was already nearly $18 plus 2.50 for the gf bun. Then, really the reason you’d come to a restaurant called the Chocolatier, there was no dessert I could eat. I’ll try for ice cream downstairs. Feeling ripped off, especially since we had to make a reservation.

Items are marked on the menu. Limited choices, some flatbreads or burgers. Burger was fry. Bun was dry. Chips and fries are in a shared fryer but they will bake you fries in an oven it just takes longer. Mediocre food but it was safe

My server was very knowledgeable and spoke with the chefs if he had any questions. My food came out separately with an allergen tag on it. There are a decent amount of options, including desert. They can bake the fries to make them GF.

There are not many options to choose from. I got permission to order off of the child menu as the salmon with mashed potato and veg were marked as gf and looked like my safest option. Ordered the only gf dessert, other than the sorbet, the Take 5 cake and did not like it at all. Neither plate was labeled gf but I did not react poorly to this lunch option but wouldn't plan to go again based on the limited options, even for dessert.

Items were marked GF. Server was great and answered our questions. She also double checked with chef on dessert for us because it sounded too good to be true. My son ordered grilled chicken from children menu and he loved it. We also had a Reese take 5 cake for dessert, which was delicious!

I am gluten free but as of right now don’t worry about cross contamination so if your celiacs this probably won’t help you. While the food was good a lot of the appetizers were not gluten free so it was hard to find an appetizer for me too eat. I went to order a GF flatbread and the server said that the GF flatbreads were always pretty hard so I had a burger and the bun was pretty good for gluten free. Overall pretty good experience but still ended up being glutened.

They have some gf items and a few switches possible. They do not have a dedicated fryer. The menu and ambience are an overinflated Red Robin, and twice the price. I got a gf flatbread that was very flat but flavorful. They also have a Reese's gf dessert, which was very sweet but not flavorful at all. My server was knowledgeable.

I have a gluten and dairy intolerance. The waiter immediately treated me like I was bothering him. I ordered a salad and wanted grilled chicken added to it and was told they couldn’t do that. I asked if they could add any protein and the waiter said no. So I’m like okay…just the salad then. 35 minutes later I get my salad and it has cheese on it…had to send it back. So overall terrible experience. You might have better luck if you just have a gluten intolerance as there were more options for that, but they were not accommodating at all.
