Amatista Cookhouse

We had a wonderful dinner at Amatista cookhouse, and can’t wait to return. First, I was so excited that there was seating available on the patio. Second, the menu calls out dairy and gluten free options clearly—so if you have any allergies, this makes picking options easier. Most dishes can also be adjusted to make them dairy or gluten free. We had the Caribbean chicken wings (these can be made GF on request!) the honey buffalo sauce is so good and is dairy free. We also tried a modified version of the grilled pineapple salad that was also wonderful, it was so bright and refreshing, with a lovely lemon dressing. The mojo marinated rotisserie chicken can also be made dairy free. The chicken was perfectly cooked, and was moist. I had yuca and maduros as my sides, and they were wonderful! All in all, we had a lovely meal. I appreciate the care they took with my allergies and we will definitely be back.

Sadly disappointed by this restaurant. We went out of our way to come here as I had heard it was very accommodating for gluten free individuals. Our server was terrible and not accommodating at all. He made us feel as though we weren’t wanted and he didn’t want to be there which I can understand having worked in food and bev but a good waiter never show that, especially at a restaurant at this price point. The gluten free empanadas were excellent but make sure to ask that it goes to the gluten free fryer. The mocktails were also very yummy as was the soup but don’t get the chicken wings. They are overpriced and mediocre in flavor. While food was decent with service this bad we won’t be back.
