| - Update: they now have a gluten free lunch menu! Enjoy!
***
Such a wonderful spot. Love dining there. The view, the wine list, the attentiveness, the renovations they've done so carefully, the ducks...
But am a little frustrated. I made sure to discuss my dietary issues with the owner and hostess as I entered and was thrilled when they proudly handed me a menu with gluten free options - yay! I know they have a talented kitchen, but it just makes me feel better to know it's part of their training, their daily conversation with staff and kitchen.
But after I ordered, the manager came out to the table saying "don't know why the hostess gave you the gf menu, that's only for evening. We don't have a gluten free menu during the day..." Well - I'm sorry, but I'm gluten free all day long.
So they still have some work to do. Particularly since after detailed conversationS with both the server and the manager, the kitchen sent out the tomato salad with bread, dairy, fruit (in dressing) and starch on it which only tells me they're either not listening, or they don't care. And I want to give them more credit than that because I know that's not how the owner would want them to treat their guests.
So then entree comes - and it's just ok. Why? because I didn't really trust the kitchen at this point - but I was so hungry I ate every bite. Fortunately no issues. Which is why I only dinged them one star.
