came here for lunch as the Find Me Gluten Free app had enough reviews to make me think it was safe for someone with celiac disease. I asked our waitress several questions before ordering and she assured me that my prime rib sandwich on a gf bun would be safe. 4 bites in, after I had asked her to double check if the jus was safe, she let me know that the meat itself was basted in jus which had wheat. they brought me out a different sandwich which they rushed but never apologized up until I was leaving. the second sandwich took time to come out. the manager didn’t stop by our table and the waitress didn’t handle the situation well. the kitchen should’ve seen my order flagged as celiac and known not to serve me something with wheat. celiac is an autoimmune disorder where gluten causes damage to your stomach lining. so they essentially poisoned me and didn’t seem all too sorry. they still charged me for my meal and it wasn’t until I told them I shouldn’t have to pay that they comped me and apologized. they entire lunch was very awkward and put a huge damper on the energy of our day celebrating our friends 30th birthday. what a bummer. I was sick the rest of the day. I wouldn’t return.
Great fast casual 100% vegan restaurant with outdoor (covered) seating. My son had no clue that the beef wasn’t actually animal protein. I’ve never had a place that served a vegan Thai tea - and I wish more places did 🤤 My only request would be to mark items as gluten free, if possible.
If you eat Gluten you MUST get the biscuit. They're pillows of fluffy delight with an incredible raspberry preserve that will haunt my dreams. The sausage & pesto lovers omelet and breakfast burrito were also amazing, but the biscuit and strawberry muffin we had were next level.
Family day on Bainbridge means lunch at Cafe Hitchcock. Even on a busy Saturday we were immediately seated and served. The menu is simple but delightful. Our table ordered the Pastrami sandwich which was nearly a Reuben, an enormous kale salad (yes, kale, it was awesome) a cup of creamy tomato soup, and the Carnivores soup which was a super yummy spicy stew. Service was fast and friendly and we had a lovely time. They were more than accommodating our gluten sensitivity with plenty of options. I’d deduct a half star if I could, though, because I dislike the practice of adding a non-gratuity surcharge to the bill.
I was planning a birthday celebration for my 75-year old husband and decided to cater the event. I contacted Armando at Casa Rojas and I could not have been happier with the results! He spent a lot of time with me discussing my options and giving me information as to the items that were gluten-free and vegetarian for particular guests. Even though he had a much larger event planned the same day, he made sure that my food would be delivered, which it was, at exactly the correct time. I ordered two platters -- the Taquiza and the Pinata -- rice, refried beans, salsa and chips. Everything was absolutely delicious. Both the food and customer service were excellent!
