Not Gluten Free Friendly!! I was attracted to this restaurant because their menu showed three different gluten categories; GF-GLUTEN-FREE, GM-GLUTEN-FREE MODIFICATION, and GY-GLUTEN-FRIENDLY. But my actual experience at the restaurant was totally different. First the menu presented to me did not have any of the gluten options listed on it. When I asked for the gluten free menu, my server told me there was none. She also was not very familiar with what items were gluten free. I was told by her that if I wanted a gluten free roll it would cost $3. DRESS CODE The web site lists a dress code so we got more dressed up than normal. And it was what we were looking for, a more formal evening out. But it was not being observed. We saw everything from hoodies to T shirts. So dress normally, whatever makes you comfortable. STARTERS Turns out the only starter that was gluten friendly, other than scallops and mussels which I don’t care for, is the Carcuterier Board, a meat and cheese platter. But at $22.95 it is way more than I want to pay for a starter for two people. ENTREES The only gluten free listed are mushroom caps, scallops, and tuna. I suspect you can get a steak gluten free but they are not listed on the online menu. SIDES Very limited for a supposedly high end restaurant. No scallop potatoes or baked potatoes. Only mashed potato’s and fries which were coated with wheat. My wife had the soup of the day which was corn chowder and gluten free. It was good. We then had the Tournedos au Poivre. I could not have the sauce that came with it because of the wheat in it. The chef did substitute a Marcela sauce but charged $2.50 because of the change. The steaks were good but the mashed potatoes were not very hot. Bottom line, a not very gluten free friendly place with decent food and limited selection and relatively high prices. We had two bowls of soup and two entrees for $117 with tip.

Very good service. The gluten free bread was amazing and the butter was like having dessert, slightly sweet and very creamy. I actually finished off the little bowl of butter just by itself.
