Exactly what others have said. Items are marked gluten free, and when you tell them you have an allergy and want it GF, they ask if cross contamination is okay. This makes no sense.
I'll go back for drinks but not food

Review
I highly do not recommend The Mercantile if you have celiac. There was cross contamination on almost every item on their menu — despite GF markings. Was told there was risk for cross contamination on their fried “GF” apps, and when I asked manager what the risk was he explained that it was a shared fryer but that “90% of allergens are killed with high heat” which is absolutely not true for gluten.

Review
So this restaurant marks items as gluten free on the menu but when asked about a dedicated fryer the server checked with the manager and there is NO dedicated fryer! So the fried appetizers marked as gluten free definitely are not! I’m so glad I asked about the fryer!
