Don's Lighthouse Grille

They have gluten free beer behind the bar!! It's the little things....

I chose Don's Lighthouse Grille for my husband and I to go to lunch in order to celebrate my birthday. I have been to Don's over the years and liked it. This afternoon's lunch was very disappointing. My husband has a gluten allergy (celiac disease) and I quickly noticed the lack of gluten free items on the menu. After a few questions for the server he learned that he couldn't get the French onion soup ( minus crouton) because the beef base contained a wheat-based thickener. Really? They must buy the base from a food supplier instead of making their own. The French fries were made in the same oil fryer that gluten items were made, etc. He ordered a quinoa bowl which was really bland,tasteless. He used a lot of hot sauce and some salt to spice it up. I ordered the cod and shrimp fry. The menu said it was breaded. It was actually dipped in a tempura batter which I'm not fond of and would have ordered something else if the menu more accurately described the dish. All in all a disappointing birthday lunch.
