Gators Dockside Gainesville

Not Gluten-free or Gluten Friendly. The restaurant has several items listed as GF. They are not. The GF chicken strips and fries are both coated in flour. Croutons are picked out of the salad and from my understanding everything is fried together. My 10yo daughter (wheat & egg allergy) was served "regular" chicken strips and floured fries. I am diligent so I noticed before she took a bite and asked what it was coated with and the manager says flour. That's when the manager told me they don't have the GF fries or chicken. Even though it is listed on the menu. The server was fine handing us food that we told him she was allergic to. With no warning, while claiming they were gluten/ wheat free. I don't think any restaurant has to carry GF or cater to our needs but they have to be honest. We also had to pay for all of our food. About $60 for one person to eat a salad and another to have half of a cold hamburger with out a bun. Which made me sick. After the server had me pay for everything, including a drink I never received, the manager offered me a food credit. Why even offer me anything. I didn't cause a scene, asked for nothing and I was already leaving. Why stop me. I already paid for the inedible food and you know we can't eat the food.

We love coming here for Trivia we've been here every week since Christmas!! Tonight I was super impressed with our waiter Quade who was incredibly attentive to our tables dietary needs, (one vegetarian and one Gluten Free) quick on the draw with refills and was unfailingly positive when we asked 1000 questions about the food and possible cross contamination!! Really nice guy.
