| - I need to eat gluten-free and sadly that is almost impossible here. As a day tripper you can get round it, but if you stay on the mountain in the adjacent cabins you don't have a choice of where to eat. It's here or the "resort" hotel and that's it.
I plumped for a NY Strip Steak which I have to say was rather good actually. Unfortunately I couldn't have the fries because they are seasoned and breaded. So instead my steak came with the tiredest, driest worn out baked potato I've ever encountered. Luckily for me the waiter was gracious enough to remove it from my plate and deduct the $1additional cost of the offending article. Yes, he actually picked it up off the plate in front of me!
The following evening, I hoped I could have something else. Running through the menu my eyes stopped on the chili; nope, the sauce is made with beer. How about the nachos? Nope. Pizzas? No. Fish and chips? Double no. BBQ ribs? No, because of the sauce. Salmon fillet with rice? Yes, but without the sauce it's horribly dry. Couscous? No, obviously. The millions of options that are deep fried and breaded? Clearly NO.
In the end, I chose a buffalo burger which was actually really delicious, even without fries, bun or baked potato.
They also offer breakfast, and again this is a festival of gluten, with the non-gluten options being bacon, eggs or an omelette.
I know g/f eaters are not a huge percentage of the population, but families with 1 or more g/f eaters won't go anywhere that the whole family can't eat. I would love to see management give a little more thought to the requirements of people like me. It wouldn't be that hard. My first suggestion: just have normal fries... you really don't need to tart everything up with gluten.
