| - If you have a gluten allergy DO NOT EAT HERE. Ordered takeout for 4 people at the office (birthday lunch, and the boss likes this place). Thankfully I was the one to go and pick it up, otherwise I would not have seen the APPALLING kitchen conditions. Takeout orders are picked up from a window directly into the kitchen. Now, this may not be an issue for someone who doesn't have food allergies, but I was able to see that literally every surface in that kitchen was covered with a layer of flour - wheat flour. This included: the cook's hands and arms up to the elbow, the cash register, the money he gave me as change, the entire food prep area, as well as the take-out boxes and bags that the food was in (the bag even left flour smudges on my car mats!). As I said though, that may be completely irrelevant to anyone who doesn't have allergies. But to me, it was the equivalent of seeing a dozen cockroaches scurry across the kitchen floor. When I placed our order, I specifically told the guy on the phone that I had a gluten allergy, and can you please check to make sure there is no gluten in your salad dressing, and no croutons on my salad. He said it was fine. Of course when I opened the box it did have croutons, and the box itself had flour fingerprints on it. No way I was touching that food! The rest of the office said that their meals were ok, but nothing noteworthy. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere with better kitchen hygiene practices (because you never know what ELSE they don't clean up!).
