Absolutely love The Whale! GF items are marked on their menu, dedicated fryer, and all the wait staff is extremely knowledgeable. They ask about allergies and give you a allergen card to put on your table (I’m celiac). Food comes out with a marker for gluten free. I’ve tried the steaks frites which were so good, the turkey burger with gluten free bun, side of fries, and the burger with gluten free bun. No reaction any of the times I’ve been here! I dream about that burger. Awesome vibes as well, great mixed drinks, can’t say enough about this place!
I went here for a work dinner and the staff was so accommodating and nice! I have several allergies including garlic, gluten, dairy and I’m vegetarian. The managers came and took their time to give me several options of how they could make items on the menu safe for me! I ended up with the palms of heart salad with a side of fries all the food was very good , but the overall experience was excellent!!!!!!
Besides the food being delicious, and the atmosphere so fun, the service was welcoming and inviting. The managers were friendly and knowledgeable. The server was fun and kind. And you’ll notice I haven’t brought up GF yet- it’s becuase I get like o finally got to have an experience like the kind I was used to pre celiac diagnosis. I was just out with a friend. But becuase i bring it up- two managers and the server checked in on me before, during and after to explain options, their kitchen, and to make sure I felt safe. The food came out and was clearly marked as mine and was delicious. I then asked if they could ever make some kid friendly GF options on case I wanted to do brunch with my celiac daughter there and they didn’t bat and eye and said absolutely. Their knowledge, understanding, kindness, and yummy food means I’ll be going back again and again!!!
The food was delicious! Our waitress was very knowledgeable and it was clear that they knew exactly how to deal with cross contamination. Highly recommend!
