I have a very low grade gluten allergy - no celiac or anything but boy did this make my meal experience miserable. I don't know how many times I told them not to worry too much as I wasn't going to die from a little bit of gluten, I had a supervisor warn the kitchen, a manager come to my table twice to argue my choice of meal(chicken and potatoes) and my meal came 15 minutes after my husbands did. You would think that they would have the decency to comp a drink or something but we received the bill with everything on it and full price. And to add fuel to the fire - it was my birthday.
update: Olive Garden did well in making this right. We revisited the restaurant and had a wonderful experience with an excellent waiter and had a delicious meal. The difference was to just let the waiter know that the gluten issue was a "preference" rather than an allergy. To those the redeemed the restaurant, Thank you!
No one told me there was a gluten free brunch place in downtown Visalia! Gf bagels and bread for paninis, and also vegan cheese. I got the fig brie panini and it came with two gf sandwiches that were so filling. There was a bit of a wait considering it wasn't terribly busy so if you're in a rush I would recommend ordering ahead. Otherwise 10/10
