I love the atmosphere and the oysters are great. However, I was quite disappointed by my experience. I have celiac meaning I cannot under any circumstances eat gluten. It's not a dietary choice, it's an autoimmune disease and my intestinal lining is destroyed when I eat gluten. I don't go out to eat often but when I do I never never ever go to a restaurant without calling and checking that they are able to accommodate me... upon calling in the afternoon yesterday I was told by a very friendly lady who answered the phone that they can absolutely accommodate me and that there were several dishes on the menu that were gluten-free or could be made as such... she even put me on hold to go and check with the kitchen. Well too bad she wasn't working last night....I made a reservation and when I got there the waitress had no idea what gluten even was --she was trying to be helpful but really wasn't. There was a guy working at the bar and I could see her continuing to go over to him to try to get my questions about the different dishes answered and he kind of barked at her "we can't guarantee anything we are a small kitchen". Well, this is a completely different answer than what I got when I called to see if they could accommodate me ...I was quite nervous about eating there after hearing the exchange between the staff. They were quite unapologetic. I never want to feel like I am inconveniencing a place and that is why I always go out of my way to double check before going... nothing bothers me more than when I do the legwork and the restaurant isn't ready for me and hasn't communicated my dietary needs to the staff working. All and all, pretty unimpressed...I would NEVER eat there again given the limited knowledge on the part of the staff regarding dietary restrictions and I probably won't return for drinks / oysters ...
Ps they brought my ceviche out with crackers on the plate...REALLY?!?!?? Who in the restaurant industry doesn't know what gluten is in 2015
