Went here this evening for an early dinner with a vegan friend who was in from out of town. The food was good but I was surprised at how the server treated our menu selection. She did ask if we had other allergies and I mentioned that I'm gluten free. She said they have an awesome gluten free flat bread that can accompany the mezzo plates (tapas style middle eastern dips- we had the baba, labneh, and fried tomatoes (which didn't seem fried, they were more like stewed tomatoes on a plate with extremely spicy wasabi)
I asked if I could also get a piece of toast from their menu but on the gluten free bread. The waitress said "no we don't do that because we don't think it tastes good with that portion of the menu" it wasn't a "let me see about it" or anything, just flat no.
I truly cannot imagine why someone else would tell me what they think I would prefer to eat based on their taste palate. It's a local cafe type of restaurant, not anything super upscale where you'd expect it to be a hard set menu. If I'm willing to pay extra to adhere to my allergies, I can't imagine why they wouldn't want to accommodate that.
The bread they did bring out that was gluten free was really good and I imagine it would have been amazing as toast! It seemed like a type of pumpernickel with sesame seeds. I was surprised at how small the portion was (four pieces about one inch by four inches to eat three plates of dip with. She did bring pita for my non-gluten free friend in abundance but I was expecting more than what I got since I was the one who ordered it). I'm so so about whether I'd go back mostly because of the customer service - not because of the food!
