Update to yesterday's review. As We were leaving we talked with the server saying I just don't want to get sick from gluten....she laughed and said, Oh you won't get sick. Oh YES I DID! Celiacs BEWARE! Guess I should have taken the 5% Chance seriously. We came in in the afternoon and no one else was there. Ordered drinks and food. Sat nearly half an hour waiting. Finally food arrived but then she asked if we wanted drinks with the food. We reminded her of what we had ordered when we first arrived. So she did go and get them. We got the meat platter and asked her to tell us what each thing was. She just gave us the number of the items off the menu which we did not have. So we asked what each item was again. She the quickly said and went away...never to return until we went to the counter to ask for another drink. (Don't order the honey wine, it was just gross and tested of mold.) Then about 15 minutes later she brought the drinks. She was nice enough just not a a good server. Gluten free was requested and she would say well it is 95% gluten free. I said what is the 5 percent that isn't. She thought that was funny. I will revise if I get sick. Enjera was gluten free and none of the meat contained gluten, I was told. ???
