Review of Yankee Smokehouse

My wife has severe celiacs and we came here because of the (so called) good reviews. She did not even make it out of the restaurant before the reaction kicked in. She is still stuck in the restaurant bathroom ( it has been over 60 min). Food was good. Just a bit of a followup: My wife and I are not the type of people who are always looking for freebies when we encounter poor dining experiences. That being said, we did not ask for any hand outs from the establishment. They did hand an envelope to my wife when she was finally able to leave. The envelope contained two gift certificates for $10. This did not make much sense. I don't think we will ever return and risk that type of contamination again. To react in such a severe way means some ingredient in the food contained gluten. This was much more than a piece of toast or fry accidentally touching her plate. Instead of giving a gift certificate, how about an assurance that they will re-evaluate the ingredients of the food that they list on their gluten free menu? The other option is not to offer a gluten free menu at all ( we respect that).

Celiac friendly?

No
