RockCreek Seafood & Spirits

Heads up for folks with celiac/gluten allergies: this restaurant wasn't accommodating. Despite giving the restaurant a heads up with the reservation and asked the server for suggestions, I was only given a couple of options. The server mentioned they'd have to ask to see if the chef was in the mood to accommodate cross-contamination that night (they weren't). The food was good, but for the price, this place just isn't worth it. I would have rather they called and let me know a head of time that they wouldn't accommodate and we would've made plans elsewhere.

I do not recommend this place. Food poisoning. No kids menu. Not accommodating. The waiter not knowing the difference between dairy-free and gluten-free. Unfortunately, that was from our experience at Rock Creek. We dined with a large group (11 people) to celebrate a birthday/wedding. We were seated in a semi private area upstairs in a corner. Which was nice. I called ahead to ask if I could bring individually packed custom cookies as a gift for the couple we were celebrating. They informed me that it would be $3 per person to do that. Needless to say, we didn’t do that. So bizarre. One family in our group had a small child. We were disappointed they didn’t have a kids menu. They offered pasta with butter or olive oil but then tried to sell us the sea bass. We asked if we could go next door and get a hot dog for the little one and they said no. We weren’t asking for much. Just something for the child to eat. The family ended up leaving our party, taking the child next door to eat first- then returning to eat their meal. So inconvenient!! The child has food allergies, but the waiter kept interchanging dairy-free and gluten-free as if they were the same. It was really frustrating to be offered gluten-free food that has dairy in it, when we specifically said the child was ‘dairy-free’. Please educate your staff! Lastly, a couple in our group ended up with food poisoning after the dinner and was out of sorts for days. We will not be back.
