The Garlic Poet Restaurant & Bar

Excellent staff and great menu options. Gluten free is clearly marked and they are able to make gluten free bread. Very much impressed with everything about this restaurant. I love it and highly recommend it.

first, without a doubt most of the food was just delicious! Lots of different flavors, herbs, taste. we were driving on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, read the great reviews on this website, and as two of us are gluten-free, we stopped. It was a Tuesday night, but still lots of people. Unbeknownst to us, there was a room with a group of 20 people, and unfortunately their orders were served before us , causing us to wait an hour for entrees. 2 / entrees were absolutely delicious, and one was just way too salty burned, dried out. our waiter was new, and didn't take out a quick care for us. The manager came over, ask how things were, and we politely explained about The Salty burned meal and the long long wait. To our surprise , she covered our check! So we definitely would return to this restaurant, as our travels take us through the middle of Pennsylvania. the restaurant is in a Clarion Hotel, but the restaurant is really terrific. we were offered gluten free bread and in very tasty flavored butter comma plus refills of the gluten free bread. It was a good gluten free menu, and we have plenty to choose from

A hidden gem. We travel constantly for work, and, as foodies, we have sought out the best places to eat all across the country. And as a traveler I eat out a lot so I RARELY write reviews because it would take up all my time... But this place is deserves as many sparking reviews as it can get. The restaurant came up very highly rated on Yelp and Find me GF, and thank god it did because we would have NEVER known to step foot inside (it's inside of a Clarion Hotel!) From the moment we were seated we knew we'd found a gem. From the wine to every detail of our entrees we were blown away by the level of thought and care and talent put into the dining experience... There is creativity in the menu and passion in the food. Freshest ingredients, incredible flavors and texture. The service was phenomenal: attentive, friendly, knowledgable...clearly run by people who take pride in the quality of the food. To top it all off, they graciously accommodated our gluten intolerance with no up charge or attitude (yes, it's not only a thing to mock gluten-free but there's also decent amount of insane up charges and sometimes even attitudes from food servers that we have to deal with!) We LOVE good food, and have very high standards for good gluten free foods... This place knocked it out of the park. Highly recommend and we will be back whenever we drive through again! A hidden gem!!!!

The food is really good. The service is really good. The attention to allergies is by far the best I've seen in the restaurant industry. If you are trying to decide on a place to eat- Stop looking!! Call ahead and make a reservation.. They can be pretty busy!

The food is out of this world amazing. We live right up the road and eat here a lot. Iv never gotten sick from cross contamination!!! I suggest dining in vs take out. Iv never had a problem with dining in. There have been miss communications with the take out for the gluten free substitutions. However i always ck before I leave and the owner has been fantastic about getting things redone quickly. The one time he comped us our meal and gave us a gc for next time. They are very knowledgable about food prep. And I feel very comfortable eating there on a reg basis!!! Give it a try u will be amazed!

Delicious, fresh gf options, professional and highly knowledgable servers on celiac! Very impressive. Ate here two nights in a row. Try the quinoa salad and burgers. Heck, try everything on their abundant gf separate menu. House made ice creams, yum!

new chef and management are very educated on gluten free allergy and other allergy needs. I recommend asking staff or requesting a word with the chef. I stay here at the hotel that they are affiliated with and have been incredibly impressed with their extraordinary efforts to accomodate. the food is exceptional and after years of travel, I now look forward to dinner actually at the hotel! not a single issue since transition... do visit; you won't regret it. also specializing in vegatarian accommodations but don't be shy-ASK! you'll be stunned ay what the chef will come up with!
