Review


Just for drinks, the Country Club is ok. Nothing special, but they do have some wine. For food, be careful. My [gluten-eating] friends enjoy going there so I often tag along. I was definitely glutened; while there are GF items marked on the menu, they are not celiac safe due to cross contamination. The Brussels sprouts, one day I was told are 100% GF. Next time I went, they told me they had to be prepared without certain ingredients and a different method to avoid cross contamination. It was decent but obviously not as tasty as the gluten version. The third time, the staff said the kitchen was NOT willing to prepare without cross contamination.

My advice, if you really want to eat here, would be to go for lunch or at a time when it’s slow in the kitchen. But there are celiac safe restaurants on this street so I’d avoid.
