| - For a number of years now, my wife and friends have had to hear me constantly complain about my stomach problems (I feel bad for them, although I feel that being able to eat whatever you want whenever you want gives them some small comfort). I am still not sure what it is that gives me such trouble, but am pretty sure it is food related. I know I am not Celiac in the strict sense but I feel that I may have a slight intolerence to gluten/wheat. I am most definitely lactose intolerant to boot.
That in mind, my wife was very excited to tell me about this place. Everything on the menu is gluten-free, good start. However, most of the items on the menu that sounded good have cheese in them. Now I love cheese but it does some awful things to my inner workings. So I was hoping (as I knew the owner suffered from allergies himself and indeed opened the restaurant for this reason) that there would be some good lactose-free or vegan alternatives, man that cheesesteak sounded good!
I was disappointed to find that this was not the case, especially as there are a number of well stocked cheese emporiums in the market that offer excellent examples of said product.
We settled on 2 of the items which did not contain cheese, the pulled pork sandwich and the turkey bacon avocado club sandwich. The pulled pork had an excellent flavour, but the club was dry and bland and needed some more mayo or other sauce to pep it up. The fries were good and the salad was ok. The gluten-free bread was pretty good, so a shame about the lack of flavour in the one sandwich.
We had a pitcher of cocktail (tequila surprise I believe??), which did not taste like it had any alcohol in it and made us feel a little nauseous due to the very sugary nature of the juice used in it. I would avoid the cocktails as I don't feel they are worth even the $12 they cost.
The service, while friendly, was a little green. I don't know whether it was the guy's first night or week, but he didn't seem to know much about the menu. We got the impression that the whole operation is a little "fly by the seat of the pants", and maybe it is a new place and just ironing out the creases.
On the whole underwhelmed and overcharged (although we understood there would be a premium for GF products), almost $50 for 2 sandwiches and a pitcher of green sugary water!
I hear the breakfast is good, although we most likely will not be back.
