Firetap Alehouse

My husband and I visited for our anniversary. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, almost like fine dining. I was excited to see some gluten-free options labeled on the menu. The service was a bit on the slower end, but they were very understanding when I forgot to tell them I couldn't have bread and would need chips instead, which I really appreciated. The food wasn't as wonderful as we had hoped, but it also wasn't bad. My husband had a calzone he seemed to enjoy, however the white bean hummus plate was not what I expected for $18. The chips--an alternative to the bread--were straigh out of a chip bag from the grocery store and the cucumber on the plate tasted like it was about to go bad and was very wilty. The hummus itself was good and tasted homemade, but I would have expected more hummus and veggies and restaurant grade chips for that price. We may give it another try eventually and hope to have a better experience.

This one’s for Sarah, an delightful waiter who’s friendly and welcoming and listens and double checks that we get exactly what we ask for. My sister’s family frequently eats at Firetap, and they and Sarah have a great rapport, very friendly. I don’t go out to restaurants often because I have celiac disease and don’t feel like I can trust many places, even ones with gluten-free menus, to be as careful as they need to be. Firetap is one of the few I don’t worry about. Sarah always checks twice as she’s taking orders, and I trust that she’ll make sure my food is safe. She’s a delight, and she always seems delighted to see us. So, Sarah 👍 GF pizza 👍
