Max's Bistro & Bar

Food was very good. I was a little disappointed at the lack of accommodations to gluten allergies. Though the gluten free menu is nice, no one with a gluten allergy will ever be able to experience any of your sauces, which really are the backbone of so many of your menu offerings. Tapioca starch, corn starch, gluten free soy sauce: it’s not that difficult to accommodate, and to make no effort at all to accommodate to gluten allergies in any of your sauces is pretty disappointing.

We were excited to find out they had a gluten-free menu. Especially when others had recommended it. However, upon asking questions about gf menu items and how food was prepared, we became extremely disappointed to discover that nothing is actually gf. Sauces are not gf anymore. You can order appetizers, but they aren’t served with gf items. After ordering, our waitress returned 5 times to inform us that this or that was no longer gf. The manager then came over where we further discovered they don’t change gloves or clean the area before preparing your gf food. They also use the same deep fryer for all the other foods. We ended up walking out. They need to update their menu and educate themselves and their staff. I gave three stars because we appreciated their honesty and they were kind and not rude in anyway. They could have been dishonest to us and we would have discovered this after eating and becoming violently ill.
